Every Wednesday during lunch in room F5, the snacks are set out, games like Spanish scrabble are opened up ready to be played, and a diverse group of AHS students get ready for a lunch filled with Spanish excitement. Yes, if you have not already guessed the Spanish Club is ready for another year of mucho fun at Arcadia High. If you simply love playing games, interacting with other students, eating tasty foods, and you share an interest in the Spanish culture and language, then the Spanish club is right for you! There are no prerequisites for joining the club; students taking Spanish 1 to AP Spanish, and even students not taking Spanish a course are welcome to join.
Spanish club meetings are filled with delicious snacks and great fun and games. When talking about the Spanish Club Lauren Hanna, the president of the club mentioned that the club’s meetings are not conducted in Spanish. She continued by saying, “We will try using Spanish every now and then but actually some of the officers do not even take Spanish.” She then added, “I am personally going to try to speak at least basic Spanish because I am also not very fluent.” Lauren also said that this year they are going to start serving chips and salsa at every meeting and once a month there will be a potluck featuring a cultural meal from a different Spanish-speaking country. Games that incorporate the Spanish language such as Scrabble and hangman will be played during club meetings. Spanish movies will be shown and student and adult speakers will be invited to come in and talk to the club about topics pertaining to Spanish culture.
There are a variety of field trips planned for the clubs. Lauren commented, “We also do outside activities,” for example, “going to watch a movie in Spanish in a theater,” or “going to dinner in a restaurant nearby that has a mariachi show.”
The Spanish Club is even setting up two upcoming events that will be held on campus “el dia de los muertos and las posadas.” El dia de los muertos is basically a Halloween celebration. Las posadas is a Christmas event in which all of F hall is celebrating Christmas. Each room in the hall is dedicated to a certain activity for example dancing or singing.
The Spanish club is a great way to meet other people interested in the culture and language of the Spanish speaking world or even to meet people who just want to eat, play games, and have some fun. With help from the Spanish advisor Senior Brown the club is able to run successfully. Currently there are about 30 students that are involved in the Spanish Club.
