The Spanish Honor Society might find the solution to its field-trip dilemma in just three words: root beer floats. The club will sell floats and ice cream on the patio for $2 after school from 2:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. The fund-raiser will end Friday.

“The money from the root beer float fund-raiser will go towards the St. Augustine field-trip,” said Rachel Alba, secretary of Spanish Honor Society, “most likely towards the cost of busing. We have a couple other fund-raisers planned out like candy grams, food fund-raisers, and our fiesta at the end of the year.”

With two days remaining in the root beer float fund-raiser, an estimated $70 has been raised toward the trip which was originally supposed to take place in late November.

“I believe this fund-raiser will be successful because who doesn’t like ice cream and floats?” Alba said. “It’s a good stress relief during exam week.”

Alba, along with other members of Spanish Honor Society, are enthusiastic about the fund-raiser because it could allow each member to participate in the field-trip without having to pay.

“I think that working for the money feels more rewarding,” freshman Karly Hudson said. “It’s better than just having your parents pay for you.”
