PostreFest 2010 is cancelled due to the Senior Cookie Project.  The seniors lost 2 days of sales due to snow and will use Tuesday, Feb. 16 as their last day to sell. With over 200 Spanish Club members, our PostreFest (with MUCHOS free desserts) would definitely have a negative impact on Mr. Bosch’s students and project.  Therefore, Spanish Club will cancel PostreFest 2010.  Please stay tuned to a fun filled event for Spanish Club in March during National Foreign Language Week to take the place of PostreFest.  We apologize for any inconvenience.  For questions, please contact Mrs. Stewart at tstewart@hs-stm.org or call 352-7210.
