Spanish Club Update - 4/28/10

The Spanish Club has decided to expand beyond excursions to Boston and bring the culture we love inside of Sturgis itself. With the help of two new members, Carrie and Sarah, we have been planning an activity for Cinco de Mayo that will celebrate the Mexican victory over the French successfully in a school that doesn't really recognize the holiday. Cinco de Mayo is really only celebrated in America and in Puebla, Mexico, but our school doesn't really know the significance of the holiday. Maybe our plans for Cinco de Mayo will inspire curiosity in Sturgis students.

Therefore, we decided to have Make Your Own Burrito Day! There is no better way to help people appreciate something than by reaching them through food. As of now, we know where it will be hosted and when it will be hosted. We just have to buy the materials and food needed. We already have ground beef donated by Sarah's father. So for now, we put in the following announcement:

"Make Your Own Burrito: Next Wednesday, May 5th, the Spanish Club will be hosting a burrito extravaganza at lunch to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Burritos will cost $2.00 each. There will be food, dancing, and music. All proceeds will go to Orfanato Pedro Atala in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. So come to room 102 during lunch on May 5th."
