![Alexander Oki ‘28 picks up trash in the lower parking lot Feb. 20. According to Keep America Beautiful, the majority of the trash found on both roads and waterways consists of fast food wrappers and packaging, receipts and plastic beverage bottles. Clubs like the National Honor Society (NHS) offer students the opportunity to earn service hours by cleaning up the trash in the parking lots. “[The trash] makes us look very unhygienic and unmotivated to be a proper school,” Emberlyse Vidal ‘28 said. “It makes us look like we just don't care about our students' environments.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/20260220_1355020-2-1200x904.jpg)
The activities fair happens every year at the start of the school year. Clubs and societies provide opportunities and safe spaces for students to learn and participate. The 2024 activities fair took place on Tuesday, Aug. 27, to inform all students of the clubs they could join.
The activities fair consists of club leaders and participants presenting their clubs’ main goals and backgrounds. The idea is to influence and encourage students to join a club that suits their interests. Students should always make becoming more involved in school activities a priority.
“I think it’s so important for high schoolers to join clubs because it gives them a community to rely on, and it gives high schoolers more structure,” Anouck Doublet ‘25 said.
Students have the opportunity to create their own clubs. Students must have a teacher sponsor and complete a club charter form to accomplish this. After the activities director approves it, the club is officially established.
