Many changes come along as students return to school every year. This year a new club that has been added is the Spanish club at HHS.  Thirty members have joined so far. There is no foreign language requirement to join.

Participants zone in as Mrs. Eubanks is talking about Spanish Club ideas.

Second year Spanish teacher, Brenda Eubanks decided to take on the challenge of forming a Spanish club for the first time here. It’s a club for people who are interested in the culture of the Spanish-speaking world.

“The purpose of the club is to get together to have a good time and learn more about the culture and language,” Eubanks said.

So far the club has had a party, made enchiladas from scratch and members are going on Thursday, Dec. 10, to eat at El Mezcal in Topeka. They hope to promote and fundraise for a trip overseas as well.  Eubanks is thinking the trip would be in summer 2011 either in Peru and Costa Rica.

Some of the students involved also volunteer at Centro Comunitario Latino de Holton to help out in the community.

“I like the club because I’m Mexican and like being involved with my culture,” David Butto, vice president said.

Eubanks hopes in the future to expand the group and its activities.
