Congratulations to FOA Eighth Grade Students, Coleson Davenport, and Sophia Malave, for earning bronze medals in the National Spanish Exam Awards. Earning bronze medals means they both placed above 75% of the national average (Sophia obtained this in the bilingual category). The National Spanish Exam (NSE) is an online, standardized assessment competition for Grades 6 -12, given voluntarily by about 4,000 middle and high school teachers throughout the United States, to measure the performance (interpretive communication) and achievement of students who are studying Spanish as a second language.
