Clubs have always been a great way to give students the opportunity to do what they love while meeting new people with similar interests in the process. It’s a helpful way to have fun and build community within a school. 

Our school has a variety of clubs for students which they are able to join at any time. Here are just a few of the many clubs our school has to offer. 

Tarot Club

This club is not only dedicated to tarot cards but also to building relationships. You can join this club at any time, whether you know anything about tarot or not. They get together every Tuesday at lunch in room 105. 

During this time you can learn how to read tarot, get your own readings, or participate in the card of the day reading that they discuss as a group. Through tarot, members are able to learn both about themselves and each other. 

“If people are interested in getting to know people better in a more authentic but not scary type of way, it’s a very inviting space,” Natalie Drummond, one of the Tarot Club advisors, said. 

Dungeons and Dragons Club

The D&D Club gets together Wednesdays after school in room 134. Whether students are long time D&D players or playing for the first time ever, anyone who is interested is encouraged to try out D&D Club. 

This club was one that students were really interested in getting started again after coming back from quarantine. 

“A student from last year found me and said I want to start a new D&D Club,” club advisor Christopher Moore said. “They get to play adventure metal music and make a lot of noise.” 

MESA

A club dedicated for students interested in engineering or the STEM field meets every Thursday after school in room 200.

Every year in MESA, they have different competitions surrounding a theme that changes every three years. This year and next year, the theme is climate action. Students get to create things that will help the climate. This club lets students collaborate and learn or expand their skills. 

“It’s cool to get creative in different types of ways in the engineering field,” club advisor Karen Tiet said. “You meet cool people, and there’s always a chance you get a free trip if you win state.” 

Garden Club

This club unfortunately did not take off much this school year. However, club advisor Sarah Nealon has high hopes that it will thrive more next year. 

In Garden Club, students raise plants from seedlings, do some floral arranging, and even participate in competitions if they’re comfortable. Garden Club will most likely be hosted on Wednesdays or Thursdays after school next year. 

“It’s really good for building professional skills and whatnot,” Nealon said.

Knitting Club

Created after club advisors Sarah Nealon and Kelsey Harrop noticed a few students who were into knitting, this club has been a popular one this year. 

They have had multiple students come in who have never done knitting before but have been able to pick it up after a quick lesson and some practice. Knitting Club is a casual and relaxed environment where students can get creative. The club is hosted in room 105 on Thursdays at lunch time. 

“It’s a good excuse to be in a social setting without there being too much pressure,” Nealon said, “and you get to learn a new skill.”

Library Club

A group of students get together in the library a few times every month on Wednesdays. In this club they read books and discuss them together as a group. 

During their time together they get to eat snacks provided to them by club advisor Nancy Sullivan while they hang out and talk. Library club creates an environment where students are able to bond over books and reading. 

“It’s a great place if you love reading or want to get into reading,” junior Meredith Gifford, a member of the Library Club, said.  “Everyone’s really welcoming, and it’s fun to hang out and eat snacks.”
