Two Cleveland-area students, Antonieta Perozo and Alex Vázquez, recently won a Spanish spelling bee event hosted by ILTexas BG Ramirez K-8, located at 4114 CR 5200 in the community of Colony Ridge, south of Plum Grove. Third grader Helleine Machigua was also recognized for her remarkable performance.
Antonieta Perozo and Alex Vázquez, first place winners from ILTexas BG Ramirez K-8, advanced to the Spanish National Spelling Bee. The competition took place on Wednesday and Thursday, June 26-27, at the Starlight Event Center in El Paso, Texas, located at 6650 Continental Drive.
In a thrilling turn of events, Perozo clinched first place at the Spanish National Spelling Bee.
She effortlessly spelled “jovialidad,” meaning “joviality” in English, securing the title of 2024 National Spanish Spelling Bee champion for the Richardson eighth grader. The event also featured a special address by Montserrat Garibay from the U.S. Department of Education.
International Leadership of Texas (ILTexas) is a free public charter school serving approximately 23,000 K-12 students at 25 campuses across the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Cleveland, and College Station areas. Within the Colony Ridge community, ILTexas has three campuses: ILTexas MSG Ramirez K-8, ILTexas BG Ramirez K-8, and Liberty High School.
IL Texas says its mission is to prepare students for exceptional leadership roles in the international community by emphasizing servant leadership, mastery of English, Spanish, and Chinese languages, and strengthening of mind, body, and character.
Education is delivered from a global perspective, providing all students the opportunity to learn English, Spanish, and Chinese and graduate with the tools necessary for future leadership and success in Texas, the U.S., and internationally.
The takeover continues. No need for Mexican language in an English speaking nation.
Next word- repatriation.
All of this catering to Spanish speakers in schools is surely taking away resources that should be used for the native children of legal citizens. Learn English or get the hell out of America. Better yet, just get the hell out anyway.
