IMPORTANT CLUB INFORMATION

MEETING DATES: Members will meet once a month for approximately 20 minutes, during which time we will discuss upcoming activities and events. We will meet every 2nd Tuesday in Room 612. Returning members will receive a text through Remind or will see an announcement on our Instagram, Band and/or SHS Canvas course. New members will receive information through their Spanish 3/4/AP/DE courses.

REMINDERS and INFORMATION: Members can stay up to date with club activities, events and submission deadlines by…

• checking our Bulletin Board: located in the 600’s hallway, next to room 622 
• signing up for Remind messages: Text @SHScshs to 81010
• following our Instagram sites: @Colt_SHS

*Canvas enrollment will be provided upon membership acceptance

PARTICIPATION: All members must earn a certain number of club hours by the end of April. Our newest members who meet the requirements will be officially inducted and our seniors will receive an honor cord to wear at graduation. Members earn these hours by attending meetings and participating in club events and school activities for each year of participation until graduation.

DUES: Members will be asked to submit a $15 dues payment online (go to CSHS website – Online Payments). These funds are used to pay for club t-shirts, club activities/supplies, induction ceremony costs, senior cords, fiestas and donations to worthy causes. *Members can still be a part of the club without paying dues but cannot receive a t-shirt.

EVENTS/ACTIVITIES

Members will be provided with a variety of opportunities to participate in club activities and events in order to earn their club hours. But they will be expected to meet certain requirements which will be explained at our first meeting in September. Requirements will consist of participation in the following categories…

• Meetings: These are quick get-togethers in order to communicate information.
• Spanish-related activities: These are activities our officers elaborate for members based on interest or member requests (ie. Hispanic Heritage Month activities, Spanish tutoring, Spanish dancing lessons, selling Spanish pastries, local gatherings, trivia activities, scavenger hunts, conversational events, holiday activities, etc.)
• CSHS Activities: These are activities our Student Government establishes for all clubs (ie. Thanksgiving baskets, Dance Marathon, Sidewalk painting, drives/donations, etc.)
• Donations: Collection of goods or supplies to support our local Hispanic community
• Submissions: Students will have opportunities to submit artwork, projects, posters, etc. (ie. Hispanic Heritage Month posters, making piñatas, t-shirt designs…)
