Parker started Casino Club after seeing how many people attended the After Prom casino last spring. Around three to five students attend the club every other Monday after school. “The best part of Casino Club is probably just hanging out with people and playing card games like poker,” Parker said. “Students should join the club because you don’t really need to pay for it, it’s not very intrusive and anybody can just sit down and start playing without the worry of losing money.” Reporting by Max Simms (media by Max Simms)Varsity girls volleyball outside hitter Julia Holmes ‘24 hugs middle hitter Paisley Krahn ‘25 during Senior Night before the game against Highlands Ranch Oct. 11.
