In this special bonus episode of "Talking to Grandma," we embark on a captivating journey to Antonito, Colorado, a town nestled in the heart of Southern Colorado. 

Join us as we dive into the stories of students and teachers who are part of the "Spanish for Heritage Speakers" class at Justice & Heritage Academy. 

This work was also featured in a segment on Colorado Public Radio on May 17th. The piece featured an interview with the co-founder of Justice and Heritage Academy, Aaron Abeyta, sharing the context of language loss in the community in addition to the student’s voices sharing their experience and hopes for the future.
