Spanish Club meeting November 8 during B-Block of megalunch
Spanish Club will be meeting every other week on Tuesday during B-Block.
Anyone interested in joining needs to only have completed one semester of Spanish class.
This club will have 3 areas of focus:
1. Culture: events like field trips, dance lessons, movie nights, food, etc
2. Community: We will complete a service project before the year is out. The plan is to support a family in a Spanish-speaking community/country by providing an animal or water source.
3. Communication: For the next couple of years we will be working toward hosting a parent night each semester for Spanish-Speaking families in our school district. Spanish Club will provide the opportunity for Spanish-speaking parents to make connections to teachers, administration, and services in the High School.
