The weekend of February 15th, the Catholic High Spanish Club attended the Louisiana High Schools Spanish Convention.
Thirteen members participated in the event. Throughout the Convention, students enjoyed a Quiz bowl and a dance. Prior to the dance, members learned how to perform the popular Latin American Salsa dance. Additionally, activities covering Zumba dancing, cooking and typical crafts were available.
