Club Fair opens eyes to extracurricular activities
September 1, 2015
Student Council hosts the annual school Club Fair on Sept. 18 where students have the opportunity to visit booths, speak to current members, acquire information and sign up.
Council Vice-president, Angelique Mara, said, “The purpose of the event is for students to get involved in school by becoming a member of any club or clubs of their choice. Students will receive the benefits of earning service hours, making new friends and finding themselves through the club.”
More than 20 clubs participate in the fair with club members and advisers hosting the booths and answering students’ questions.
Mara said, “We will also be adding a brand new club called Fem Squad along with the return of Anime Club after a year’s hiatus.”
Clubs include a wide variety, including service clubs such as Leo, Interact and Soroptimist; and clubs of special interest such as Liturgical Corps, Robotics, Library, OML Math and Speech.
Mara said, “I hope students will find themselves a ‘second home’ in whatever club they wish to join. I want them to enjoy their time here at the Academy and feel welcomed by being able to join a new family.”
