Along with its German Program, La Habra High School also has a German Club. Enrollment in a German class is not mandatory for joining the club. Club members usually meet one day every other week during lunch in room 91. Please check the "Calendar" page for exact dates. The goal of the German Club is to introduce its members to a variety of aspects of the German culture. Activities include: GERMAN-AMERICAN WEEK: Students celebrate the many contributions that German immigrants made to the United States. OKTOBERFEST: Students go on a field trip to experience this famous German tradition! HERBSTFEST or ADVENTSFEST: This event takes place at a different location in Orange County each year and is organized by German teachers from several schools. It gives students the chance to enjoy German food, sing German songs and play a variety of games while using the foreign language and meeting teenagers from other schools who are also learning German. WEIHNACHTSFEIER: Students learn about how Germans celebrate the Christmas holiday and they get to make Gingerbread houses. OSTERFEST: Students find out that the Easter bunny tradition came from Germany and they get to go on an Easter egg hunt. GERMAN CAMP: This is a weekend language camp in Big Bear where advanced German students from all over Southern California meet and have fun "the German way". This is only second best to the real thing, which would be a trip to Germany. If you have done it once, you will want to go again the following year. Other activities throughout the year include singing German songs, playing games and watching German movies. The German Club also has a fundraiser in November when members sell Advent calendars. The money gets used for buying new videos or games and also pays for an end of the year banquet at a local restaurant. In order to be a part of the dinner trip, students need to have successfully participated in the fundraiser and missed no more than three meetings (exceptions include illness or doctor appointments). German club has also given scholorships to deserving graduating students in the past. Students need to have been in German Club or the German National Honor Society for at least two years and they are required to submit a letter to the club advisor stating why they are deserving of the money. Students who are enrolled in a German class can earn extra credit points by regularly attending German Club meetings (3 points each meeting). The 2009/20010 officers are: President: Dannie Alfaro Vice President: Tim Mendez Secretary: Allison Lambros Treasurer: Arthur Le
