Soy Bilingüe Festival
Due
to the COVID-19 updates and CDC guidance, the Soy Bilingue Committee
and NASA have come to the regrettable but necessary decision
unfortunately we have to postpone our Soy Bilingüe Festival 2020 to next
year.
Debido a las actualizaciones de COVID-19 y la orientación del Centro de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades, NASA ha tomado una decisión lamentable pero necesaria, desafortunadamente tenemos que posponer nuestro Festival Soy Bilingüe 2020 para el próximo año (2021)
Gracias por su comprension.

General Purpose of Event: To promote bilingualism in the community and educate parents as to its benefits for the academic success of students Rationale: The components of this event are designed to raise awareness on the benefits of speaking more than one language, to celebrate being bilingual, and to address NEW Academy’s commitment to prepare students with the global skills they need for success in the 21st century global economy. Research shows that students who participate in multilingual programs attain high levels of academic achievement. Additionally, according to a recent UCLA study, two-thirds of employers prefer to hire a bilingual employee over a similarly skilled non-bilingual employee. Therefore, we consider that it is necessary to educate our community on the value of solidifying our students’ first language as they acquire English proficiency, and become fully bilingual and biliterate citizens of this new economy.
