Spanish Club

Student Council 

The fall months in student council are primarily occupied with lots of small projects rather than one big one. Homecoming Week (September), Acts of Love (early spring) and Prom (late spring) are our big events of the year, so they have some freedom in their agenda between homecoming and acts of love. Last year they participated in the festival of trees, planned a blood drive and invested time and money into their deck the halls efforts. This time of the year is certainly not less busy than any other, but it is nice to have an open agenda that the ASB leaders can set. Starting this week, however, their Acts of Love committee will be a full force. They are very excited to make Acts of Love better than ever, so they have their work cut out for them the next few months.  

TSA Club 

The TSA Club is in the process of forming their teams and creating products to enter at the state TSA organization competition.
