Salt Creek Elementary.
My name is John
McCann. I have been in

also been in Japanese

36. The data at Salt Creek, consistent with
research results ..., demonstrate that
building a strong foundation in Spanish will
result in higher levels of proficiency in
English. We certainly see a trend toward
this achievement with the students at Salt
Creek, with highly significant correlations
across the languages in both reading and
math.
