All IB sophomores and all students of Charles Ward’s Spanish and French classes attended the Saint Petersburg International Folk Fair Society or SPIFFS today. SPIFFS is celebrating their 40thanniversary this year. At SPIFFS there are tents from different countries around the world. Students walked around Vinoy Park and sampled food from the different tents. There were also cultural items sold by each country as well as live performances throughout the day.
![With holiday cheer, the Starlets are selling candy grams at student lunches on Dec. 3.
For $4 each, students can send a treat to another student of their choice to express their gratitude and appreciation.
“They include a candy cane and also chocolates like kisses.” Gabby Toranzo (’25) said.
The money raised will go directly to help the Starlets get new floor mats for their winter guard season for their set.
“[With good matts] we won’t have to hurt our knees… people have had bruises on their knees for a bit because we don’t have mats… They also help with performance quality.” Gracie Kurtz (’24) said.
The sale is only available today during all lunch periods.
