We have a lot of exciting things we hope to do this year including serving in the Spanish Community, (YES THAT MEANS SERVICE HOURS) as well as some fun activities, like watching Spanish horror movies in the month of October and learning how to make Spanish recipes.

We will introduce ourselves to you all and discuss ideas for the future of Spanish Club this year. Hope to see you all there, Morgan Waite, Alex Holloway, Mary Edwards, and Mrs. Cabrera
