The purpose of the Spanish Club is to broaden the students’ understanding of and respect for diverse cultures.   The students can develop and sustain self-esteem and an understanding of the personal uniqueness of others.   The activities planned by the club are a combination of an extension of the material taught in class and volunteer service activities.  The students in the Spanish Club make contributions that help create a school atmosphere of caring and mutual respect.  The club exemplifies the goal of the World Languages Department which builds on respect and appreciation for all people.

For the past four years the Spanish Club has been an active participant in the Davie/Cooper City Relay for Life, having fundraised over $4,500 last year alone for a total of approximately $9,000 since we began our participation.  At last year’s Relay, Tamara Martir competed in the Talent Show and garnered First Place for her rendition of a song from the play “Wicked”.  We were also recognized as  the second highest fundraising group in the school category.

For this year our plans include: fundraising for the 2009 Relay for Life, participating in the Broward County World Languages Competitions, visiting several Florida tourist attractions including Spanish language TV show tapings, and organizing the Annual World Languages Celebration at Western.

Come join us for a fun filled year with some surprises! Meetings right after school in 609, every other Tuesday beginning Sept. 9^th.
