Happy 40th Anniversary to FLAIR!
On Saturday, October 4, 2025, we celebrated the 40th Anniversary of FLAIR with those in attendance at our conference. Augusta Preparatory Day School graciously hosted our event on their beautiful campus. We enjoyed timely and valuable presentations on strategies for engaging comprehensible input activities from Marisol García-Mitchell (Greenbriar High School) and from Vanessa Lozada (Grovetown High School) and on effective uses of AI for amazing cultural lessons from Dirk De Vos (Augusta Preparatory Day School). Following our conference presentations, Dr. Jana Sandarg (Augusta University) provided highlights of the history of the inception of the FLAIR academic alliance, now the only surviving language academic alliance in Georgia, and other historical facts about our organization. We ended our conference with a commemorative cake, fellowship, and of course, a photo of those attending! A truly fabulous morning spent in the service of our field and fellowship with our colleagues! Happy 40th Anniversary, FLAIR!
