There are about 45 clubs here in FVHS including well-known ones such as Slice Robotics, Art Club, the Safe Space Club and many more. Hidden underneath these large clubs are treasures within the school community.
Many clubs don’t have as many students as some of the big hitters, which means without a large number of people, those small clubs are challenged when trying to continue their fun activities. The members of these small clubs want to help liven students’ spirits and have a fun time doing what they love.
Dungeons and Dragons Club lets students embrace their adventurous side and join fantasy-like worlds with dangerous quests. Friends or party members create a dynamic story made only from imagination. DnD club lets anyone join and will even help new students create their own characters as well as create campaigns for newcomers.
FVHS teacher Jordan Deaton said, “I think what makes D&D so special is that it provides a blank canvas that allows players to explore their imagination and tell compelling, fun stories. It allows members to explore all aspects of humanity while having a lot of fun! I would invite students to come stretch their minds, hear and create wonderful stories, all while taking part in a timeless classic.”
The American Sign Language Club teaches students how to speak with their hands. Eleven billion people in the world are deaf, so learning sign language can help lower the use of translators in the future. The ASL Club uses songs, games and more to keep learning sign language as fun as possible.
Junior Michelle Burke said, “I have always been interested in ASL and in how hand motions can create words and sentences to be understood by others. Interestingly it even has its own grammar rules, so it is definitely a separate language to English.”
The Board Game Club, as it sounds, plays many board games like Monopoly, Candy Land and more. This club allows anyone to join and encourages others to bring their own board games so everyone can join the fun.
There are many clubs for students to choose from, but small clubs wish for more students to join the fun. Sometimes it’s hard to choose a club or it’s uncomfortable to go out and try something new, but these clubs would love for anyone to join.
