Clubs are a great way of getting involved on campus and Perry is excited to be adding the very first Hispanic cultures club to the list of clubs offered on campus.The Hispanic cultures club is a great for anyone wanting to learn more about the culture.

Senior club President Alondra Cuevas says, “ I started the club because I saw other cultures represented in different clubs and felt like the Hispanic community was not represented enough.”

The club talks about the differences and similarities of being Hispanic or being a Latino. Many people do not know the what that means or what makes them different. The club plans to inform students about the Hispanic cultures and how important it is.

“Students should join to learn more about the culture,” says Cuevas, “ You do not have to be hispanic to join and it’s a lot of fun.”

The club plans on learning about holidays and festivities such as Day of the Dead, a annual celebration to honor the spirits of the dead. Later on in the semester, they will be learning about Christmas and the different ways it is celebrated. The club is also going to have a big potluck in Dec.  where students will learn how to make their own hispanic dishes and bring them in for everyone to try. It is also a possibility for the club to meet outside of school for different festivals.

Sponsor Lorena Decristofaro responds, “Is it a possibility? Yes. Will it happen? I don’t know. Unfortunately, the Day of the Dead festival has already passed but very possibly we could attend next year.”

The club meets once a month in D106 during conference and is always hoping for new members to get involved. There has only been one meeting so it is not too late to join and meet some new friends. Stop by. Decristofaro’s classroom for a pass to join.
