A Club for Everyone

Last week the Upper School held its annual Club Fair.  More than fifty clubs set up information tables throughout the gym.  Just a few examples of the many diverse clubs at SSSAS include the Environmental Club, Model Judiciary Club, Mandarin Club, and Frisbee Club.  During the Fair, the Saints for Wellness Club even offered healthy homemade treats to prospective members!  
At SSSAS, all clubs are student-led, with a faculty member serving as the club’s sponsor.  The Club Fair allows students to talk directly to club leaders to find out what the club is all about.  After checking out the information tables at the fair, some students sign up for several clubs, while other kids focus on one or two.  Some students even decide to start their own club!  Because I love to fish, I joined the Potomac River Club as a freshman and became president my junior year.  However students choose to get involved, the clubs at SSSAS are a great way to get to know other students outside of the classroom and have fun.  With more than fifty clubs to choose from, there really is something for everyone!
