Each year, The American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) hold an awards ceremony, honoring the top National Spanish exam winners in the State.
This year at a special dinner in the Regis College rotunda, Ms. Annie Farry from the Dedham Middle School, was chosen to receive the 7th Annual Embassy of Spain Scholarship. In recognition of her skill, dedication, and competence, George Watson (Wheaton College and Roger Williams University) announced that Ms. Farry would receive a “Summer Study in Spain.”
SRA. Eva Maria Martin Gonzalez, education advisor for the Government of Spain, explained that “this prestigious award will provide a unique, enriching language and cultural experience for the beloved DMS teacher.” Ms. Farry will spend the month of July studying at the renowned University of Salamanca.
