The Spanish Honor Society is hosting an event called Painting with a Purpose, a program under Painting with a Twist, this Saturday in St. Petersburg.

The event will help to raise funds for the upcoming trip to Conferencia, the Florida State Spanish Conference in Orlando in March. Those who attend will be painting a picture of a sugar skull chosen by the Spanish Honor Society officers.

“I’m very excited. Painting with a Twist is one of my favorite events,” Spanish teacher Linda Santiago said.

The event, from 1-3 p.m. at Painting with a Twist, 2527 Central Ave. in St. Petersburg, is open to the public. People can sign up through the organization’s website for $35. Half of that will go to help fund Conferencia. Santiago has sent the link to all foreign language teachers in the county as well as all teachers at Lakewood.
