El fin del año escolar no está lejos
en estos momentos. Espero que todos
hayan pasado un Día Memorial muy agreable.

playing at Pacific Place as part of the Seattle
International Film Festival.
First we meet at 12:30 at Dandy Porter's at 2440

directions from I-5 are: take the
Olive/Denny exit and folllow Denny or Olive up
Capitol Hill to Broadway.
Left (North) on Broadway. Pass the Safeway
and curve past the Chevron
station as Broadway becomes 10th Avenue East.
Right on Aloha. Follow past
15th. Cross 23rd. Park somewhere
between 23rd and 26th. This is the same

us for tapas, but only for the

II. CONGRATULATIONS TO ROSEMARY LEIVA
The committee chaired by 1999 Teacher of the Year
Barbara Rupert, with
members Egils Macs and Jay Adams-Feuer has unanimously
selected Rosemary
Leiva of West Valley High School in Yakima to
be the Washington State
Spanish Teacher 2000. Rosemary, who has
served on the WAFLT Board and who
has been a leading figure in the eastern portion
of our chapter and the
state for over twenty years, has been a Fulbright
Scholar, a grant
recipient, and a dynamo in the classroom.
At this fall's WAFLT/COFLT
Conference in Portland, at the AATSP luncheon,
Eastern Vice President Kerry
Chama will read a brief laudatory statement about
Rosemary and present her
certificate. Kudos to you, Rosemary, and
thanks, Erik Lampi of Lake
Roosevelt High School, for nominating this outstanding
individual for this
well-deserved honor. The committee wishes
to note that there were a number
of other deserving teachers, and we hope that
their peers will nominate them
for Washington State Spanish Teacher 2001.
III. JOB AVAILABLE AT MERCER ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL
Please post- there is a full-time high school
position open for Spanish in
the fall . Check out website for further
information. Ignore closing
date of May 22 as application will be opened
until filled. Thanks. Jo Ann

IV. APARTMENT NEEDED FOR TEACHER FROM MURCIA,
SPAIN: SEATTLE, SHORELINE OR
EDMONDS
An apartment, and is can be a smallish studio,
is needed for Shorewood High
School's exchange teacher from Murcia, Spain.
As mentioned earlier, Suzanne
Louden is this year's post-to-post exchange teacher
from Washington to
Spain. I hope she'll come up to Madrid
and visit me!
V. FOUR SOCIOS GO TO MIDDLEBURY CET, ONE
TEACHES AT MIDDLEBURY SPANISH
SCHOOL
In addition to myself, three other chapter socios
have full scholarships to
the Middlebury College (Vermont) Center for Educational
Technology, where
they will learn how to integrate the use of technology
in the teaching of
world languages. Besides myself, they are
Maura Flynn of Camas School
District, and Juan Pablo Jiménez and María
Eugenia Lozano of Washington
State University.
Trisha Dvorak, who works at University of Washington
Extension and has a
doctorate in applied linguistics, will be teaching
at the Spanish School,
which I will attend as a graduate student in
just a couple of weeks! (There
is also Professor James Cassidy of Oregon State
U., an AATSP Oregon socio
teaching at the Spanish School.) The Northwest
will, for the first time,
have a very sizeable contingent representing
us. Before this summer, only
the Japanese and Russian Schools have had faculty
and students from major
Washington and Oregon universities in sizeable
numbers.)
Es todo por el momento.
