I am so proud of the kids,” commented Mr. Kupferman. “They came up with wonderful ideas about the ways in which studying a foreign language provides a person with more opportunities in life. They really did a great job expressing these ideas in their drawings. It is quite an honor for our students to be recognized on the national level!”
