At the beginning of the term, 132 seventh graders joined clubs to become involved with our community. Each club hosted a table at the activity fair set up for students to learn, ask questions, and sign up to be a member in order to explore their interests. 

According to Director of Student Leadership and Activities Ameilia Luke, who planned and led the fair, “It fosters a sense of community, encourages involvement, and helps students find their passions while developing leadership and teamwork skills. By showcasing these opportunities, we aim to support each student’s growth beyond the classroom and enhance their overall high school experience,”

Out of 148 seventh graders, 89.1% are involved in one or more student activities. Every student has unique interests and preferences when it comes to choosing clubs. 

Seventh grader Isabel Allison explained her goal for the fair. “I’m looking at clubs that let me try something new and meet new people,” Allison said.

When it came down to picking the clubs meant for you, everyone was different. Tessa Nicholson joined FCA, the cooking club, and girls support girls. Walter McGee joined FCA and the chess club.

“I think the activity fair was super fun,” says Margo de Castro. “It’s a great way for new students to get associated with something in their school.”

Sierra Stark shared some of her positive perspectives of the fair. “I like how every club had their own stand,” said Sierra. “You could see people in the club and see what each club is about.”

Based on these reactions, it’s obvious that the activity fair was a huge success for the 7th graders. They had the opportunity to see the fair for the first time, to search for activities that interest them, and to set a future course for their years here.
