Spanish Club Have Hearts To Serve

main image

When Sandra Pabst started the Spanish Club three years ago, she wanted to bring knowledge about Spanish culture into the lives of the Upper School students that couldn’t be learned from a textbook.

What Pabst didn’t anticipate was the overwhelming participation and outpouring of love that each of her 40+ club members would bring to the club.

“The purpose was to expose the members to a beautiful world in need of amazing leaders. Leaders with a serving heart. I was also led by the Lord to find opportunities for the members to experience Him through real joy. I started this club in order to be with my students from lower school so they could have special moments in their heart.”

Two weeks ago members of the Spanish Club volunteered to serve at the Lamb Institute's 12th annual "Dinner Party With A Purpose" where Friends of LAMB in the Charleston area gathered in person while LAMB friends worldwide joined for an online event. All of the proceeds helped to support the Children's Home in San Buenaventura, Honduras. Our Spanish Club members not only helped to serve at the banquet, but also cleaned and disassembled all tables and chairs that were used. 

“The most important part of this banquet,” Pabst said, “was not only how God blessed ministry but also to see the joy on all the members' faces while serving. I am so thankful to the Lord for giving us the opportunity to experience joy, hope, and love by serving.”

Chemistry Experiments Inside The New SLC

The new SLC building brought more than just a new gym; it also brought along two fully equipped science labs with sinks and bunsen burners! The tenth grade students in Mrs. Marcia Siebert's Chemistry class were more than excited to try out the new equipment in their unit on chemical bonds.

“In preparation to begin a unit on learning about the different types of chemical bonds,” Siebert explained, “students did an exploratory lab on the properties that will be observed when each representative bond type is put through a series of physical tests. In the lab, they saw how differently the substances respond to the physical tests. These responses will lead to the correct identification of each bond type once they learn about the nature of the bonds in class. The end result of the lab is once they learn about the bond types in class, to apply that knowledge and correctly identify what bond each substance had. They will then write an official lab report using their knowledge and results to support their predictions.”

Donning protective eye wear and aprons, the students set out to mix, dissolve, and their favorite part, light the bunsen burners to see what would happen when their solutions were heated.

Titus Pettersen said, “I enjoyed the hands-on science experience!”

While Bella De Los Reyes agreed, “Seeing and doing and the experiment is better than just reading about it in a textbook!”
