The SMS Language Ambassadors Club is made up of over 30 students who represent nine different languages: Spanish, Karen, Malayalam, German, Russian, Chinese, Somali, Mam (a Mayan language) and sign language. The purpose of the club is for members to be a helpful, friendly face to new students who are learning English. The club has grown and evolved to incorporate all students who are interested in other languages and cultures. We invite guest speakers to visit our school to share their culture and the advantages of speaking more than one language.
Our guest speaker in March was Eduardo Mendoza Reyes-Ortiz from Northern State University. Edu is from Bolivia and is studying music and business. He has his own YouTube channel and loves to share his music and culture.
