The article begins:

''Como estas?" ''How are you?" Kiera Campbell, a former Arlington Spanish
teacher, asked four Arlington elementary school students who were seated
with her on the set of the local cable public access studio.

''Bien," said Ysabela Campbell-Breen, 6, Campbell's daughter, and a Bishop
School first-grader. ''But I'm also hot!"

Despite the heat from the television lights, the young students didn't wilt
during the recording of one of the first installments of ''Hola Arlington!" a new
Spanish language instruction program premiering on Comcast community
cable this month.

The article continues to describe features of and community involvement in
the program, which was created to fill the gap left when elementary language
classes were cut.
