Today, during lunch, Schechter's upper school held its annual club fair. It was very exciting to see the whole school together and how our student body will make a difference this school year.
Samson Mildron, a senior, shared, “Our entire Schechter kehilah (community) came together to promote different interests that we have to each other.”
Freshman Ariel Shemesh agreed: “Everyone was showing off all their clubs and all their hard work.”
Each student had a unique experience at the club fair. This was Shemesh’s first club fair as a high-schooler, and he believes that this was the most important club fair he’s attended because it holds more significance and relevance to his life.
This year, Shay Ginzburg, a junior, noted, “It was odd to be an upperclassman, but I enjoyed the feeling. I remember in the past it felt like a whirl, but this year I knew what was going on a lot better.”
“I enjoyed the excitement everybody had for all of their clubs and the way that they convinced each other to join their clubs,” said Sam Levenson, a sophomore. “It felt fun and full of new opportunities, rather than competitive of who could get the most people to join their club.”
The involvement in the club fair this year was through the roof. Mildron said the best part of the club fair “was how eager people were this year to join clubs and expand their network.”
“I ran my sci-fi club board, and I got the opportunity to look at a lot of other clubs and sign up for some new clubs this year,” shared Levenson. “Last year’s club fair was also great, but there were a great amount of new clubs this year, and many new 6th grade students who were looking to join clubs.”
However, Shemesh believes that more clubs should be added like “boxing” or “jiu jitsu.”
There was a lot of preparation that went into the club fair. Mildron shared, “My co-presidents and I prepared for the club fair by acquiring candies to give out to prospective members, and we worked to ensure that our boards were in tiptop shape.”
“I made a board for a new club I started called Inspiring Girls,” Ginzberg explained. “I met with Ms. Fruithandler, who is the club advisor, to get the ball rolling. I also communicated via email and Zoom with the board of the organization to make sure everything was planned well.”
Mildron concluded “I think that Schechter clubs are part of the fundamental cement that holds the student body kehilah together. We have so many various clubs which provide so many fun opportunities for anyone in the kehila who wants to join.”
