Tracy High had Club Rush Week from Sept. 3 – 5, all of the school’s clubs set up decorated tables outside of the gymnasium during lunch time, trying to recruit new members.

There are a variety of clubs for students to choose from, including the Ag/Sci Club, Earth Club, Fashion Club, and many more. Each club’s table was decorated with things to get the students interested. Most clubs hung giant posters, handed out candy, flyers, or tried just about anything to grab students’ attention.

“The most important aspect about clubs, is giving every kid an opportunity to be involved in something,” Activities Director Alayna Carter said. “With all of the different clubs set up, the students have many opportunities.”

Not every student can be on the football team or in the band program; however with clubs, each student is involved, plays a role, and feels like they belong.

Just this year, the Ag/Sci Club opened its doors to the entire student body. Before, students had to be in the Ag/Sci program to be a member of the club. The main goal is to promote the Agriculture/Science Academy, and during Halloween they go to the pumpkin patch.

As a sophomore Maxine Alemendra joined the Fashion Club. She is currently a senior, and the current president of the club.

“The Fashion Club is my baby,” Alemendra said. “I love being able to unite people who share the same love that I do for fashion.”

The Fashion Club is not limited to just fashion. One of their main goals is to help the community. Members will knit scarves, and other items to be sold on campus. The proceeds are then donated to McHenry House Family Center.

During club rush week, 40 students signed up for the Earth Club, whose advisor is the science teacher Dean Reese.

“The Earth Club has two main goals,” Reese said, “they are on the campus to recycle,     and to spread awareness on environmental stewardship.”

“The kids here are being taught to manage their waste responsibly. The Earth Club is not all about trying to save the planet. The club helps the community while the kids build up their community service hours, and I write letters of recommendation are for the members,” Reese said.

Earth Club members talk to elementary and middle school students about conservation, work at the football games, and have socials twice a year.

“There is a club for everyone, you just have to find it,” junior Anthony Adams said.
