Welcome to the Spanish Corner!

Our goal is to highlight the Spanish language, cultures and traditions that can help Ventana Vista families continue learning the language at home.


With the Fall sports season underway, the idea of cheering on a team comes to mind.

What a fun way to learn Spanish as a family than by learning the popular Mexican cheer: Chiquitibum A La Bim Bom Ba!


Used in sporting events, at a birthday or any event requiring a cheer, Chiquitibum is a lot of fun.


Here's how it goes:

Chiquitibum a la bim bom ba

Chiquitibum a la bim bom ba

A la bio,

A la bao,

A la bim bom ba

[Insert name or team etc], [Insert name or team etc], Ra, Ra, Ra!


Listen to the sports chant here:

Art to Remember

Thank you to all the families who have already visited and purchased their students artwork. If you have not already done so there is still time. If we can get to 20% participation, we get a bigger percentage of the profit! As of Monday we were at 14%.

Spirit Wear

Hopefully by now your student should have brought home any spirit wear clothing that you purchased. The spirit wear hats should be in later this week or early next week!


Thank you for your patience.
