Faces of Conchita
Bianca Allanic
c/o 2010
Congratulations to alumna Bianca Allanic for signing a company contract with Ballet Theatre of Maryland!
Bianca will graduate from Indiana University in May with a Bachelor of Science and a Ballet Performance Major, which she was able to accomplish in 3 years. She starts her season with Ballet Theatre of Maryland this August, but will spend the summer
learning the company's repertoire for next season.
Bianca has always been a beautiful example of dedication, discipline, joy and hard work.
We are so proud of you!

"Students don't need 'exposure' to the arts as a means of ratcheting up their other skills. They need immersion in viewing, listening and creating. They need to dance, to paint, to sing and to get hooked on the songs from
Hamilton."

Read Across America
Thursday, March 2nd was national Read Across America day. This annual event is a literary celebration that brings our school, community, and nation together through the love of reading.
Mrs. Martinez, our Media Specialist, and Student Council worked hard to make this an extraordinary day at CEA. To help us highlight the importance of reading and literacy, we had the honor of hosting alumni and local community members as guest readers in our classrooms. Our upper school students partnered with lower grades for buddy reading, and all students toured our new library. We are so fortunate to have spent a wonderful day of celebrating literacy.
Thank you to Mrs. Martinez, Student Council, National Junior Honor Society Ambassadors, CEA parents Erika Ludovic and Lizzy Mesa for all of their help, and all of our guest readers for helping us cultivate good reading habits to last a lifetime!

CEA Goes to Italy!
This March, the Conchita Espinosa Visual Arts Department traveled to Italy for a cultural immersion educational experience to expand their knowledge, understanding, and experience of the incredible culture, art and history of Italy.
The trip highlighted the city of Florence, known as the "Cradle of the Renaissance", where students had the opportunity to relish the city's art, sculptures, and architecture. In addition to the cultural activities, sightseeing, and museum tours, our young artists visited local artisans and participated in workshops on figure drawing and art restoration. We are delighted to be able to provide our students with this once in a lifetime learning opportunity to encourage and support their passion for the arts!
