The 2025-2026 activities fair was held on Friday, September 26 in the cafeteria to promote our schools clubs and gain new members.
The fair had 50+ clubs and sports for students to explore during their lunch period. This was a chance for freshmen to explore the school’s options and for upperclassmen to discover new interests. Each club had a representative at their stand and poster of information on what they do. Many clubs also had trivia questions for prizes such as candy.
Ultimately, the activities fair is so much more than just joining school clubs. It allows for students to build their interests that can one day become dream careers or life changing discoveries. These clubs are stepping stones to the real world. There was a club for every student, whether they were interested in business clubs such as FBLA, Deca, RUBY, and business crew or more creative clubs such as theatre, crochet club, IMAGES, and Odyssey of the Mind.
Freshman Lylliana Ramos was interested in joining the Women’s Society club and said, “This club has inspired me to empower women and support women since women sometimes do not get the courage they need. I am really excited, hopefully one day women can do what they want and not get judged.”
While freshmen are joining these clubs for the first time, upperclassmen have managed to make a real impact and grow within these clubs. These students have managed to get leadership positions, win competitions, and learn skills they will carry past high school.
Sara Rafique, a junior, helped start the club Letters of Hope. “I started Letters of Hope in hopes to make a difference for people in hospitals and spread kindness to people that might not get appreciation,” Rafique said. “I hope these notes help them get through the tough situations. I think in the future this club will help bring a bigger impact and spread happiness to the community and make a difference in the world.”
The goal of the activities fair was for each club to gain new members but on a deeper level the goal was for these new members to form deep connections, learn things, and be able to graduate knowing they learned more than just was taught in the classroom.
“From being on various club boards I learned how to create connections with people and how the behind the scenes of each club is run,” junior Ashi Kotadia said. “I learned great communication, organization, and teamwork. Being on board is something I truly value.”
