The Spanish Club is back and excited for more cultural explorations for the year, with lots of new members.
Senior club president Bryn Bucher has the role of leading the club and coming up with ideas during meetings.
“My role is to basically facilitate the club, I’m the leader with the other officers. I’m kind of helping everyone with their roles since I’ve been in the club the longest. Basically, sending out emails and coming up with what to do during meetings,” said Bucher.
She also joined the Spanish Club, while not actually taking Spanish as a foreign language.
“I take French, it’s not for someone who speaks Spanish necessarily, it’s just for anyone who’s interested in learning a bit more about Spanish food and culture,” said Bucher.
It was a friend of Bucher’s that convinced her to join the club.
“I was really good friends with the girl who ran the club last year. Her name was Anjo…and she was looking for people to help run the club,” said Bucher.
The club also has many fun events planned for the year, which they also did in the last school year.
“Last year, we did the Pulsera Project. We sell bracelets that people from Central America made. Then we send the funds back to the people,” said Bucher.
The club does plan on doing the Pulsera Project, but also plans on doing their potluck once again with other clubs.
The Club Advisor is Middle School teacher Kathryn Grose.
“My role as club advisor is just to help and facilitate what the leadership is already doing, so they have a president, vice president, treasurer, and a secretary. They are really in charge. I just make sure it all runs,” said Grose.
The club officers for the year are Bucher as president along with seniors Sakura St. Ogne as vice president, Ava Gauvain as treasurer, and the secretary is Genevieve Clapp.
Grose takes pride in being the advisor and is pleased when students want to join the club. Her favorite part is just that people are interested.
Freshman Akhil Deshpande plans on taking the club this year and signed up for it earlier during the activity fair.
“I found out about the Spanish Club in the activity fair, and what made me interested was how fun and friendly it seems. I also like learning about different cultures, and it’s a good way to practice Spanish and make new friends,” said Deshpande.
He says he’s excited to learn about Spanish culture and make new friends while doing it.
The Spanish Club is hoping to once again contribute to the cultural diversity of Masco and come up with even more ideas for its members.
