This year has been crazy for everyone, clubs included. Some may have had trouble meeting up to do activities together, or they have been able to do stuff, but not everyone can make it. Typically, the incoming freshmen are able to see what types of the clubs the high school has to offer. This year, however, the freshman never got the orientation and they have missed out on chances to join clubs and to make friends. Within Northern High School, there are an array of clubs and organizations that cater to many different types of students.
If you are interested in doing community service, Key Club is the place to go. They have held community service opportunities like roadway clean-ups, Christmas caroling, gift wrapping in the mall, blood drive, etc., though not all of that can happen with COVID. Though they haven’t gotten a chance to have a proper meeting with their members, the Key Club officers and the advisors are planning a few things for the members to do during the last month of school. If you have any questions, see Mrs. Gunning in the Guidance office.
If anyone is religion oriented and wants to know how God works in their lives in the here and now, I want to direct you to Direct Call. They meet in Mrs. Trostle’s room between 7:05 and 7:10 every Wednesday morning with a student-led lesson relating to the Bible. At the beginning of each school year, Direct Call hosts See You At The Pole before they begin meeting Wednesday mornings. For any other questions about Direct Call, you can ask Mrs. Trostle or Mr. Moyer.
Students interested in plants, animals, or even farming would enjoy FFA (Future Farmers of America). They have many competitions they attend throughout the whole year, such as dairy cow judging. FFA also attends multiple conventions to help improve public speaking throughout the school year. In February, there is an FFA week where they celebrate by doing various fun and exciting activities. In the spring, the FFA club thanks the seniors with a party, a chicken barbecue fundraiser, and plant sale. If any of this sounds interesting, contact Mrs. Richwine.
