Clubs


Clubs meet at various times and days. Early in the year, students receive a list of clubs to be offered. Students are encouraged to attend the Club Faire, and to sign up for the club of their choice during club time. Most clubs run all year, but occasionally new clubs are offered. If students express a desire for a particular club, we try to find a sponsor. Parents are encouraged to volunteer to sponsor a club. While students are not required to join clubs, we encourage them to do so.
