El Mercado - Applegarth Middle School -- "At Applegarth's second biannual El Mercado (market) on June 9, students walking around in sombreros and vests spent an entire day "traveling" to 20 Spanish- and six French-speaking countries and Brazil in an effort to better understand the history, culture and lifestyle of these places." El Mercado is a student-run program in which the language students spend all year researching and preparing for this day.
