Dual Language Enrichment Camp
We were thrilled to welcome university students from Toluca, Mexico’s Monterrey Institute of Technology again this year to serve as facilitators for the Dual Language Enrichment Camp at South Hi Mount Elementary!
The Dual Language Enrichment Program is designed to provide students with an immersive learning experience to sharpen their language skills. University students taught alongside Fort Worth ISD teachers from June 15th to June 30th. The K-5 dual language students learned more than Spanish and English; they built meaningful connections and experienced firsthand what it means to be a global citizen.While in Fort Worth, the Toluca delegation also had the opportunity to explore and give back to the community. They visited the Historic Stockyards, Kimbell Art Museum, Amon Carter Museum, and Dickies Arena, and participated in community service projects at the Tarrant Area Food Bank and Diamond Hill Community Center. They also joined the community in celebrating Mexico through the FIFA watch parties at La Gran Plaza.
The program concluded with a closing ceremony on June 30 at South Hi Mount Elementary, celebrating the students’ achievements, growth, and remarkable progress throughout their three-week immersive experience.
A heartfelt thank you to our partners across Fort Worth for welcoming this incredible delegation! And a huge thank you to our host families for opening their homes and sharing Fort Worth culture with our guests!
We are incredibly thankful for this delegation’s hard work and dedication. Your enthusiasm and dedication have inspired our Fort Worth students and teachers alike, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who had the opportunity to learn alongside you. ¡Te extrañaremos!
