Bridging the Communication Gap

One Warren County teacher is going over and above when it comes to serving the Warren County community. Spanish teacher, Jimy Dominguez, has started a class for adults who are interested in learning English.

The idea for a class for adult learners came to Dominguez when he was introduced to a Warren County family at open house who had a student in the elementary school. While their daughter speaks English well, both parents did not. Mr. Dominguez asked the parents if there was anything he could do to help. They let him know that they really wanted to learn English, and that was all it took. "I thought about it and came up with the plan. Mr. Roberson and Mrs. Carey were all for it," said Dominguez.

Dominguez teaches the class three days a week during his planning period. The class started with just three students, but Dominguez hopes to grow the program as more of the area's Hispanic population hears of the program. The class is scheduled to run for the remainder of the school year.

If you know of anyone that could benefit from by joining the class, Mr. Dominguez asks you to encourage them to contact him at the school.
