The Saint James Spanish Club gives students an opportunity to learn more about the language and culture outside of the class period.  Guest speakers, discussions, celebrations of holidays, food, and art/cinema are explored in this weekly club.

Students work to develop their speaking, listening and reading skills through Spanish Club. This dynamic and enriching way of practicing the language is supplemental learning outside of class time. Spanish teacher and Spanish Club sponsor, Sra. Rhea Grate, invited several members of the Saint James family to visit the club period and talk to students about their home countries.

Students learned about customs, traditions, and holidays from our guest speakers. They discussed the climate, currency, and heritage of their home countries. Students enjoyed hearing traditional music and learning about traditional dress.

STJ Spanish Club is one of the many special interest clubs and organizations at Saint James School. High school students choose two clubs to participate in each year. During advisory time, students attend club meeting and work on special projects for their organizations.
