Congratulations to the Ferris Hispanic Honor Society Club for being honored with a CHASE YOUTH AWARD this week for their work in Social Advocacy and Cultural Awareness!
In conjunction with the American Association of Teachers of Spanish's new group of Ambassadors, members who are heritage Spanish speakers from around the globe who have relocated to Spokane, the Ferris Hispanic Honor Society started a Conversation Club in which both Spanish and English language learners convene weekly to practice conversational skills. This Club validates our youth's confidence and identity in heritage language and cultures, while also demystifying diversity and creating empathy among youth. In addition, they organized a partnership with the Spokane Public Language Immersion program at the Libby Center, working with students from 1st - 6th grade on Readers Theater, preparing a play called Trabajando Juntos (Working Together), continuing language development. There is no doubt that having serious helpers in younger language classrooms is a wonderful asset to developing multilingual youth!

May 1st, Senior Katya Jones is participating in a FUN RUN to support Shriners Hospital.
Last year, through an ice cream party, Katya raised $625. This year, her ambition soars to $5,100. Every entry, every step, every story brings her closer to this goal, lighting a path of hope for many more children and families.
Katya's goal is to raise $5,100 doing a 5.1K because her birthday is May 1st!
Here's what the situation will look like on May 1st at Ferris:
- We will hold a normal track practice from 2:45-4:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to stick around to join Katya for a 5.1K , which is 12.75 times around the track. Feel free to run, walk, or sing and dance your way around the track :)
- Music will be played over the loudspeakers for the time it takes Katya to do the 12.75 laps.
- Popsicles will be provided
We would love it if more people from the school (not just our Track team) could participate too and help Katya shine and share her love with everyone.
Here is more information about her fundraiser. See you May 1 at 4:00 pm!
Spring Sports Home Events for the week! Full schedules can be found on Arbiter Live.
- April 30: Boys Tennis v. LC at 3:30 pm
- May 1: Boys Tennis v. Hermiston at 3:00 pm
- May 2: Softball v. Ridgeline at 4:00 pm
