Bonner’s Spanish 1, 2 and 3 students attended Justo
Lamas’s concert at Old Mill High School in Millersville,
MD. Justo Lamas is a singer from Buenos Aires, Argentina
who has been performing concerts in Spanish at schools
throughout the United States, promoting Hispanic
his music. Students sang and danced along during some of his songs. Spanish 2
students, Natalie Cheeks, was chosen to dance on stage along with students from
other schools. They had to shake to the “izquierda” (left) and shake to the “derecha”
(right). She had a blast dancing and we enjoyed watching her. Justo also used this
opportunity to deliver an affirmative life message where he promoted unity and
communication between students and their families. He encouraged the audience
not to give up when facing problems and to continue struggling to achieve their
goals. After the hour and a half concert our Hammond students were eager to get
their pictures taken with Justo, get his autograph, as well as purchase “camisetas”
(t-shirts), and CDs. Our students had a great time and were fortunate to have had
the opportunity to see Justo Lamas perform.
