Club Day Friday this past week was a success due to a large turnout of student participation and a great faculty and staff who were super flexible with the new format for club times. Some clubs, like the Middle School Pep Club saw over 150 students participate. The Math Club saw a full house of students and the Book Club filled up half the library. It was awesome to see so many students involved in the many clubs offered by teachers willing to go the extra mile to enhance student educational experiences.
