Alcoa Spanish Club proposes to contribute and encourage the study and appreciation of the Spanish language. It promotes awareness, appreciation, and understanding of the people and diverse cultural productions of the Hispanic/Latino world. Lastly, it proposes to foster friendly relations with other Alcoa clubs and organizations, as well as the community, and to work with them to better understand diversity through cultural awareness.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE CLUB
PURPOSE:
- Members are encouraged to utilize the Spanish language as much as possible outside of the classroom, demonstrate continued growth of the Spanish language, and provide educational experiences which tie together formal and informal learning.
- Members are encouraged to participate in various activities such as crafts, dancing, cooking, foreign films, field trips, and more. Student participation should contribute to the development of personal responsibility, moral values, cooperation, emotional maturity, self-discipline, social competence, leadership, and realization of the value of group goals.
