Spanish Club exists to offer students fun and interesting ways to take their language skills beyond the classroom. Spanish Club members strive to further explore the variety of Hispanic cultures, to promote cultural and linguistic awareness in the community, and to offer opportunities for community service. Some activities from recent years include:
• Lunches/dinners in ethnic restaurants
• Movies from Spanish-speaking countries, either dubbed or with subtitles
• Bilingual Story Hour at the Ashwaubenon Library
• Spanish cooking classes
• Helping on distribution day for “Coats For Kids” charity
• Donations to Give-a-Kid-a-Book project
• Fair Trade Fundraiser
• Tutoring Spanish students at all levels
• Volunteering with the Brown County Literacy Council
Spanish National Honor Society (SNHS): While Spanish Club participation is open to all students, SNHS membership is by application only. Ashwaubenon’s La Catrina chapter was established in 2006. Members must have a Sophomore standing, have completed Spanish III, have a 3.5 GPA overall, a 3.66 GPA in Spanish classes, documented participation in 4 Spanish Club events per semester, and at least ONE Spanish course EACH year. Membership induction is held in a formal ceremony each February.
