Speaking in Tongues movie night.

Our screening of the movie Speaking in Tongues in the Jordan Cafeteria on Thursday, January 27, 2011 drew an enthusiastic audience of parents from Addison, Amigos, Bing, Castro, Escondido, Jordan and McKinley. Jennifer Ramberg introduced the movie after which many of us stayed to chat about learning second and third languages and raising bilingual children. Many thanks to our Treasurer, Teresa Flagg, and to Ellie Slack and all the staff at Jordan.
