Spanish Club - - - Club Español

Welcome to our Spanish Club!

Meetings: Once a month in the Spanish classroom. Event dates vary by month and are announced over the intercom during morning and afternoon announcements. They are also announced during class. Spanish students can come to meetings to partially fulfill their "culture points" quarterly assignment. Monthly meetings are held during the high school lunch on the first Wednesday of the month.

Membership: Participation is not mandatory and there is no fee to attend meetings, so you can come as often as you would like.
