Ms. Alazawi mentioned that once students have learned the basics, the club may move on to projects that give back to the community. “For example, students might make scarves or hats and donate them for the holidays,” she said. Improv Club The Improv Club took a different approach this year, focusing on non-competitive activities. Teacher supervisor Mr. Block said the club will emphasize teamwork and creativity. “Improv is mostly about listening and reacting to your partner,” he explained. “We’ll be working on creating scenes together and having fun.” Grade 9 student Wesey Domnori joined just to try something new. “Improv is like, they give you a topic and you act it out with no script. I’m excited to see what practices are like,” she said. Grade 12 student Austin Sharpe added, “I do acting, and improv is fun. I’m excited for tryouts and to see how it works.” The club plans to do small performances throughout the year, including performances at Notes at Noon. Geo Club The newly formed Geo Club - started by grade 11 student Harry Huang - is designed for students who enjoy maps, history, and geography problems. Members try to identify locations using clues and photos, similar to the game, GeoGuessr. Grade 11 student Liam described the club as “a lot of fun and the best club in the school.” While it’s not competitive, it’s building a group of students who like to test their knowledge and learn about the world. With the start of these new clubs, students have fresh ways to explore interests and meet others. Ms. Alazawi summed it up: “You don’t have to be an expert to join. Just come, try something, and have fun.” As the year continues, these clubs are expected to grow and offer more opportunities for students to get involved.
