Spanish Club
Club Goals:
The Spanish Club is an organization dedicated to the enhancement of the Spanish curricula at Grant Community High School.
The Spanish Club is also a way to get students to further learn and understand the Spanish language, as well as the cultures of Spanish speaking countries around the world. We want members to learn about Spanish language and culture(s) while having fun and interacting with other members of the club.
Club Officers:
Co-Presidents: Gabriel Velarde & Tajari Lester
Vice-President: Andrés Velarde
Secretary: Janeth Molina
Club Sponsors: Sra. Catarino & Sra. Lesperance
Membership Requirements: Students who are interested in joining the Spanish Club do not have to be enrolled in a Spanish class, but they must attend a majority of meetings, and participate in at least one club activity during the 2011-2012 school year.
Frequency of Meetings: About twice a month (see agenda) for the members, and as necessary for the officers. Meeting times are from 3:05pm to 3:55pm in Room 291.
