The young voices of our community are stronger than ever and inspire us to listen to our own inner voice. The middle and high schools in Santa Cruz provide students many World Languages to choose from from Chinese, Spanish, Italian, French, Latin and many more. The Pacific Collegiate School (PCS) students read poems from ancient and modern poets reflecting on life, loss and our actions. The AP Spanish Language students at Soquel High have used their language skills to voice their opinions and shed light on some very important issues and write poems about people who have influenced them the most. The Heritage Spanish 3 and 4 class from Harbor High have explored "Reading for Pleasure" and reviewed some much loved books.

Ms. Roxana Jimenez's AP Spanish Language class at Soquel High, Ms Anne Cappiello's Heritage Speakers 3 and 4 class and Ms. Yin Gao's Chinese 1,2,3 and 4 classes at PCS, have put together some very powerful content, which enriches and encourages everyone during these challenging times.
