A
Summary of the Club |
| The World Culture Club
is comprised of students who take an extra interest in the world around
them. Headed by Medame LeRoy (French) and Seņora Bischoff (Spanish),
this club works to increase awareness of other people in the world with
different cultures, languages, and way of life. |

Rosalba |
|
The main focus of the WCC is to
raise enough money in various functions sponsored throughout the year to
continue their sponsorship of Rosalba Castillo Diaz, a young girl in the
Dominican Republic. This sponsorship is done with the cooperation of
Children International (www.children.org)
. The sponsorship money, sent on a monthly basis, is used to buy
supplies such as: clothing, personal hygiene products, regular medical
and dental check ups, school supplies, and other basic necessities
needed for every day life. Rosalba's family functions on less that $200
per month so the sponsorship makes Rosalba's life a little easier. |

International Week |
|
Every November, the WCC sponsors
International week to allow Brossart students a chance to experience
something different. Every day a prayer is read in a different language
as wall as the daily lunch menu. During this week the cafeteria prepares
a lunch from a different culture, featuring: Italian, Chinese, German,
All-American, Mexican, and French cuisine. During this week there are
also cultural activities such as International Bake Sale, which features
desserts from around the world, and the International Breakfast, which
features "Churros con Chocolate" and "Croissants" served with hot
chocolate. Activities vary year to year but the effort to continue
multicultural education continues. |
