Students will be expected to have rides home once the meetings are over. Students from Maricopa are encouraged to carpool to make it accessible for everyone to come.

6. Who will decide what we do?
The group will elect officers to help run the club. The officers will most likely be 8th graders who are taking Spanish at Akimel A-al.
The officers will work with Señorita Russell on a regular basis to help decide what we want to do in Spanish Club and how we can fundraise for some of our projects and trips.
The officers will be required to get ideas from the other members so we are all happy with the decisions being made.

Costs will help fund the activities we decide to do in the Club, but field trips will be an extra fee.
