The first spanish competition, held at Columbus High School, took place on April 3 2019. After the Language Fair at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was cancelled, Mrs.Velasco decided to take on the tradition and hold it in CHS. Students from spanish four and five competed in five different events: art, poetry, dance, music, and drama.
The events were split up for native speakers to give others a better chance. Therefore, if the event had level two it meant that the event is for those just learning spanish; HS before the event meant that it was for native speakers only.
Various schools attended from all over Nebraska. Some of these are: Syracuse High, Cornerstone Christian, David City High School, York High School, Platteview High School, Norris High, and Wilber Clatonia High School.
Maria Espino placed first in art HS, and Wendy Castillo placed second. In poetry level two in second place Neleigh Slusarski, and in third Lexi Jeffryes. Placing in poetry level HS with first place Samantha Martinez, in second place Yasmin Basulto, and finally in third Alexis Martinez.
