Dia de los reyes

Spanish Club celebrated Dia de los reyes, or Kings' Day, on January 6 during seminar. Children in Mexico do not receive gifts on Christmas, but on King's Day, when the three Magi (or Kings) come bearing gifts for the baby Jesus. Children place their shoes near a window so the Magi can leave a gift. Spanish Club enjoyed Tres Leches Cake and gifts from Mrs. Reif.

Spanish Club Cinco de Mayo Party

Spanish Club celebrated Cinco de Mayo a day early during Seminar. 

 

Derrick Matthews and Emily Frese prepare for the party.
Mrs. Reif's Spanish III students and her aides cooked the food during 2nd hour.

 

Spanish Club eats together.

After eating, the club played a rousing game of Ninja Assassins--a game they picked up from FCA Conference, so it isn't nearly as bad as it sounds.

Operation Christmas Child

On Wednesday after school, Spanish Club boxed up Christmas presents to send to children who don't get to celebrate Christmas for Operation Christmas Child. (Kevin Gieswein helped too, but I took lousy pictures of him. MH)
