Clubs
The purpose of offering Middle School Clubs is to help students begin to figure out their own personal gifts and talents, preferences and interests. They get to choose to grow in an area that interests them which allows them to begin to shape their desires for future career paths, or just simply learn about something new that they can add to their skill set. It also allows them to add activities that they have been engaged in for their 8th grade high school resume as they apply to the high school of their choice in the fall of their 8th grade year. Grade 6 and 7 are extremely important years in middle school as those are the years that high schools look at for both academics and student activity involvement.
