The process of learning about school clubs and how to join them can be overwhelming.  For some of this year’s clubs, Pony Express reporters were able to dig up more information.

The Pony Express has compiled a list of Gaither’s clubs with the basic information potential members need to know: club name, the sponsor(s), student leader(s), room number and meeting times.  Most clubs require some form of dues payment or donation to become and remain a member of that club.  

All clubs meet at least once a month on Club Day.  On Club Day, club members present their club card to their teacher to show that they are allowed to leave class for a club meeting.  Club cards are given out to members that pay dues, are collected before club meetings and are not returned until members pay the next month’s dues.  None of the money or items go to the club sponsor.  They are applied to the club’s supplies, projects, outreach and more.  

Click the links throughout the article to learn a little more about that club. Keep coming back to check in because there will be new clubs and details added as the information becomes available to us.
