Spanish students showcase language and cultural skills through projects and church service5/15/2025 The Spanish class students put their skills into action this past week by presenting cultural projects to the student body and leading the worship service at Greeley Hispanic Adventist Church.
Students in Spanish I gave presentations in the chapel, where they had the option to either film a cooking video, learn and perform a song in Spanish, or recreate a piece of art from a Spanish artist. Two groups opted for live performances: Marc and Izuchi sang Adiós Amor, and Garry, Jillian, and Phoebe performed Piel Canela on stage. After the presentations, students sampled a wide variety of traditional dishes featured in the cooking videos, including tostadas, flan, pupusas, churros, horchata, and homemade paletas (Mexican ice cream bars). “I was very impressed by the food this year,” said senior Janey Padilla Reyes. “I felt like it was very authentic.” On Sabbath, the Spanish II class, along with a few native Spanish speakers, traveled to the Greeley Spanish SDA Church for a SWAT trip, where they led the entire church service in Spanish. The program included praise music, a children’s story, special music, prayer, scripture reading and a sermon delivered by senior Damaris Lopez Morquecho. Senior Toby Quillin, who participated in multiple parts of the service, reflected on the experience, “Going on the Spanish SWAT trip was quite enjoyable, even though it took a lot of planning and practice. I was a part of the praise team as well as the special music and sang Eres Mi Protector (My Hiding Place). I also gave a prayer. I looked over the script many times so I wouldn’t mess up the pronunciation. It was very fun to put my knowledge of the language to the test.” Alexandra Cordoba, Student News Editor
