Hablamos Español- Mr. King

Hablamos Español is a celebratory 4th and 5th Grade initiative and reminder that here at Lewis we speak spanish! This initiative includes Bilingual Spotlights, Bilingüe Brillante, during which a bilingual guest visits to share their road to bilingualism and how it has positively impacted their life.
This past Friday, 4th and 5th Grade had their first Bilingual Spotlight, featuring Lewis’ very own, Mr. King! Mr. King shared a heartwarming testimony about how he began learning Spanish at a young age accidentally, how it allowed him to connect with people from different walks of life, how it has benefitted his and his family’s lives as a Black man–in everyday life and during travel, and how it divinely led him to carry out his purpose as both a classically trained musician and educator as the beloved music teacher at our bilingual school. Our students were so engaged and did not want our time together to end!
Thank you, Mr. King, for being an inspiration for our students and, of course, gifting us with your music and spirit!
