Mariachi band, dual-immersion program makes Esperanza Elementary this week's Cool School of the Week

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — It's not often you witness elementary-aged students dressed in traditional outfits and playing mariachi music but that's exactly why Esperanza Elementary is FOX 13's Cool School of the Week.

Every student and employee at the school is bilingual, easily able to jump between English and Spanish. For some students, they're able to go home and teach their parents the language as well, Alejandre remarked. Mariachi band participants emphasized that music is a huge part of their culture and their teachers make the class fun.

A group of students recently placed second in the entire state for their science project called"Hearts of Music."
