Novità - Milwaukee

Victory School students, Milwaukee, WIOn April 12, 2008, at the WisItalia Teacher of the Year dinner, students, ages 4 and 5 years old, from the Italian Immersion Program at Victory School (exit WisItalia), gave a delightful performance by singing several Italian songs. Victory School’s Italian Immersion Program is believed to be the first of its kind in the United States. These students are taught exclusively in Italian as they learn about the Italian language.
