SPARK and Le Club

SPARK, a junior German Club, and Le Club, a junior French Club, are returning to Mandalay Middle School this fall!

SPARKlers and Le Clubbers will meet after school on Thursdays at Mandalay from 3:45-4:45 beginning September 11.  SPARK will be facilitated by Standley Lake High School German students, supervised by Frau Garrett, their German teacher, and will take place in Room 217.  Le Club will be facilitated by SLHS French students, supervised by Monsieur Wells, their French teacher, and will take place in Room 215.

This club is intended to introduce students to the German or French language and culture through hands-on, whole-body learning activities such as games, crafts, songs, dance, food tasting, etc. 

The program will cover the following skills or competencies: Greetings, forming basic sounds, alphabet, numbers, colors, geography, foods, likes and dislikes. 

Our last day those clubs will meet will be on November 20, but there will be a holiday celebration held at Standley Lake HS on December 4 after school, to which the families of SPARKlers are also invited to attend. 

Please see the flyer for all meeting dates and additional information.  You can sign your child up here.  The deadline to sign up is September 9, however, participation will be capped at 25 per club if sign-ups exceed capacity.

We wish you and your family a smooth start to your school year, and can’t wait to welcome your student at SPARK or Le Club. 

The following Standley Lake High School students will be the main facilitators of the clubs as part of the International Baccalaureate CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) Project.  Kaitlyn has traveled to Germany as part of her studies and is a leader on campus and in the German program.  Amelie first came to SLHS in 2024 as a short-term German exchange student and is now back for the full academic year.
