With over 70 clubs, the annual Clubs Day event presented an opportunity for students to promote their clubs in the Rally Court on Sept. 19 during lunch. Clubs ranging from culture to STEM clubs, helped students explore their interests and find like-minded people.
During Clubs Day, students were walking around trying to find their club to join. The club representatives gave a small overview of their club’s goal and purpose to passersby in front of their club booth, trying to win the students’ hearts. There were different sections for the clubs all around the Rally Court. From interest clubs to E-sports to fashion, the Rally Court was filled with diversity. Many Clubs used candy and crosswords to attract students. Music Makes Miracles and Amnesty International Arcadia also gave performances for students to get a glimpse of their clubs.
Senior Edith Ung, the vice president of the Photography Club, shared her experience advertising her club.
“I thought Clubs Day was a fun way to interact with new people and introduce new clubs [to] the campus,” said Ung. “I enjoyed talking to people potentially interested in Photography Club.”
In front of the S-Building was a section consisting of service clubs. For example, clubs like Affinity for Animals, Red Cross Club, and Kare 4 Kids, were in this section of the Rally Court. These clubs are focused on giving back to the community and helping shape our environment into a better place.
Senior Annika Chan, the co-president of My Friend and I, shared her experience during Clubs Day. “Though Clubs Day had an overwhelming amount of students, I enjoyed interacting and sharing about My Friend and I with my peers.”
There was a specific section of the Rally Court for STEM clubs, like Astrophysics, Chemistry, Pre-Med, and many more. These clubs focus on helping students learn about their academic subject of interest outside the classroom, teaching them more about their favorite STEM subject.
The civics clubs were next to the North Gym, diving deep into real-world skills, such as money management, business, and problem-solving. Across from the C-Row were designated culture and identity clubs, teaching students about different cultures on our school campus.
Freshman Sahanna Kannan shared her experience during Clubs Day, “I signed up for many clubs that spiked my interests, and overall had a unique experience.”
Clubs Day was a way to help students start off the new year, as many students joined various clubs of their interest. This day also served as a time for students to interact and find people with the same interests.
