Spanish Club
Spanish Club is open to all students in grades 9-12, and students can join Spanish Club by paying the $5 activity fee in the office and bringing me the receipt. We try to do one event per month. We generally do one taco bar/movie night each semester that's free to Spanish Club members (paid for by the activity fee). We also do one dinner out at the end of each semester. The rest of our events are determined by what's available in local programming. We go to concerts, ballets, cultural celebrations, and whatever else is culturally relevant.
