Huntley High Spanish Honor Society introduces officers; board recognizes several donations to athletics
Summary
Members and sponsors of the Huntley High School Spanish Honor Society introduced themselves to the board and described upcoming World Language Week activities; the board also acknowledged multiple donations to high school programs totaling several thousand dollars.
Students from the Huntley High School Spanish Honor Society introduced themselves to the board and outlined club activities, and the board publicly acknowledged several recent donations to high school programs.
Spanish Honor Society: Co-sponsors Kate Feinstein and Katie Goss accompanied students who each stated their name and grade. Carly Weifar, the club’s social-media manager and a senior, said the club has about 28 members and roughly 25 potential new members for next year. Will Davis, the society’s vice president, said the club meets about twice a month and described plans for World Language Week (the week of March 10), which will include language-themed activities and playing music from featured countries over the high school loudspeakers during passing periods.
Membership criteria: Students described new-member requirements as including coursework through AP Spanish, a minimum grade/GPA in Spanish classes, and a written statement of interest; the presenter clarified that membership requires meeting those criteria rather than merely attending meetings.
Donations acknowledged: The board read and thanked donors who supported Huntley High School programs. Items announced included: Illinois Cheer Association — $4,925 (to In-N-Out account at Huntley High School); Larry’s Bridal Bandana Society — $1,000 (to In-N-Out account); C and D Comfort — $1,500 (to varsity boys basketball); American Consultant — $250; Bell 911 Inc — $250; Illinois General Remodeling Services — $750; Sylvia Capriva — $300; Brookshire, Hathaway and Stark Realty — $500; and Parkside — $2,070 (to Huntley High School wrestling). The board said the In-N-Out account and athletic accounts would be used for school extracurricular needs.
The Spanish Honor Society presentation was brief and intended to highlight student leadership and upcoming cultural activities; no board action was required.
