Today after school, the French Club will join the Spanish Club and the German Club in a picnic at Cool Creek Park.
A bus will be provided as transportation and is leaving after school. The bus will be coming back to the school between 6 and 7 p.m.
Samantha Parkinson, French Club president and senior, said that there will be games and food at the picnic.
“Basically everyone is bringing a dish or a drink that represents their country. There will be frisbee, soccer and maybe volleyball,” Parkinson said.
Each club is bringing food that is considered native to France, Germany or Spain, respectively.
“(The French Club) is bringing baguettes, cheeses, croissants and some fruits like bananas and grapes,” Parkinson said. “The German Club is bringing open-faced sandwiches. As far as the Spanish Club, I have no idea what they are supposed to be bringing but it should be good.”
According to club sponsor Andrea Yocum, if members do not bring a dish, they will need $5 to participate.
Parkinson said that she thinks it will be a successful event since three clubs are involved.
