BALLSTON SPA — Ballston Spa High School World Language students recently performed an amazing Lip Sync concert of thirteen French and Spanish songs. Over 150 International Baccalaureate and University in the High School juniors and seniors presented an array of musical performances with some students performing on stage while others provided support backstage in various roles.
The University in the High School teachers include Ms. Alverson, Ms. Gearwar, Ms. Judd and Ms. Quinn. Judges for the event included Interim Superintendent of Schools Dr. Duca, Interim Principal Mr. Murphy, and teachers Mrs. Kusnierz, Mrs. Rousseau and Mr. Poirier.
The students worked hard and through the music they learned vocabulary, grammar, and culture. Best of all, they came together as a group, class, and school. The language teachers indicated that “It was truly a memorable night” and would like to say a big “merci” and “gracias” to all those who performed as well as to those who attended and supported them.
The winners were:
1st Place: Noches del Verano from UHS Spanish 5
2nd Place: Dancing Queen from UHS French 5
3rd Place: Beat it from UHS Spanish 4
The event was hosted by the BSHS International Club and its members helped with ticket sales, programs, etc. All donations will be utilized to fund scholarships for graduating seniors.
