Spanish Club's Second Annual End-of-Year Lunch

Several Joliet Catholic Academy Spanish Club students gathered for a festive end-of-the-year lunch today.  The tradition was started last year, and Executive Board member, Casey Corless, '16 organized the event.  The Taquería next to el Güerro is finally in business, so we decided to give it a try.

Everyone ate traditional Mexican style dishes, such as enchiladas, gorditas and quesadillas. We also shared freshly made guacamole with tortilla chips.  

Along with Profe Finaldi, in attendance were sophomores Max Babich and Olivia Blake and, juniors Casey Corless, Juan Diaz, Sam Gutierrez, Tom Hilke, Katie McSteen, and Jared Olsen.

Spanish Club Hosts 5 de Mayo Festivities

The Spanish Club's Cinco de Mayo festivities went on all day long this Monday.  All Spanish classes were invited to attend.  

First, students went through the food line, which offered many Mexican treats.  Once inside, they participated in activities such as a Spanish Trivia Game, a piñata, and the limbo.  

Winners of the annual homemade salsa contest were announced and awarded gift certificates and official Cinco de Mayo T-Shirts.  

Everyone had a great time at this much anticipated yearly fiesta!

Spanish Community Center

Several Spanish Club members donated their time and effort to help sanitize daycare rooms at the Joliet Spanish Community Center.

The Spanish Club has been volunteering approximately one Saturday per month to lend a hand for a good cause. 

Besides the elbow grease, the students also bring cleaning supplies as a donation to the Center.

O-so sweet!

Spanish club's Executive Board made a locker decoration for each of its 57 members and surprised them when they came out of their 8th period classes to find this O-SO sweet sentiment.
