Fourteen Wood River Middle School students, members of the Viaje Club, got to practice their Spanish-language skills last month in the Central American country of Costa Rica.

The Viaje Club consists of Dual Immersion Program students, who have been instructed since kindergarten in both Spanish and English.

The trip leader was Molly Michalec, Latino services coordinator for the Blaine County School District. Other chaperones were Hailey Elementary School Dual Immersion teacher Juan Salamanca and parent Katie Nasvik.
