Abstract
There is power in bilingualism. Barriers are broken down between people. Value, respect, and empathy is given to people when you have learned their language. There is common ground and a starting point from which to build. This plan discusses options for language learning support, in school and out. It presents an approach to organize and implement a Spanish FLEX program in which students can participate on early release Wednesdays.
