The Spanish Club students enjoyed a Spring fiesta on Thursday evening, April 24, at the high school.
The students got into five groups and made spring gingerbread houses.
The first group, Nick Lukens, Andrew Halsey, Sara Retzlaff, and Kyle Rohrich constructed a castle, complete with a courtyard and a dragon.
Cady Reinke and Laura Retzlaff made a graham cracker house and used Smarties to make shingles for the roof.
Another group, Mikaela Acklie and Elyssa Leach, used a lot of candy to create their house and marshmallow dog.
The fourth group, Emily Taylor and Kristin Canaday, made a party house with their graham crackers and gumdrops.
The final group, Kathy Venteicher, Tad Fuchs, Mikaela Ruppert, and Stevie Buettgenbach, put their heads together to create different sites from all across the world. Buettgenbach made a McDonalds, while Venteicher constructed the Eifel Tower. Tad Fuchs’ igloo, complete with a snowman and a mailbox, was a favorite.
Mikaela Ruppert said, “I liked the igloo the best because it looked amazing with the snow.” Fuchs said his favorite part of his creation was the “mailbox because it looked so real.”
The Spanish Club fiesta gave the students an opportunity to have fun and to display their creativity. The students also had fun eating whatever candy wasn’t used. They ended the fiesta with a prize drawing.
Michaela Acklie said, “My favorite part of the fiesta was eating the frosting.”
