Drones flying through the air, students chanting DECA, and the piano accompanying the Junior Players just audible over the voices of students, welcomed the freshmen into the high school. Two weeks into high school, students from all different clubs created a club fair to draw in new members. Each club showcased a display that described their club’s purpose. For example, the Science Olympiad club hung a huge poster across the commons, the Art club displayed talented artworks, and the Asian Awareness club performed a traditional act. Club members tried all sorts of tricks to gain recruits and offered tons of food for the breakfast-less freshmen.
Brought down during advisory, freshmen had the chance to learn about all the clubs the school offers. Some clubs include, Quiz Bowl team, Math team, HOSA, Model Congress, Neuroscience club and GSA club. The numerous amounts of clubs offered by the school is incredible and if a student uncovers a club idea, then the student can create the club.
Attending the club fair allowed freshmen to have the chance to join their school’s extracurricular activities and explore their passions. For example, if someone is interested in the business marketing and management field, then he can join the DECA team, which is one of the biggest club at Great Neck North. If business is not his forte, and medicine is what he is looking for, then he can join the newly formed HOSA team. If business and medicine is not in his interest, and theater is his strength, he can join the Junior Players. Furthermore, freshmen are able to join clubs that volunteer around the community, such as the Key Club and Interact Club.
Signing up for many clubs, freshmen must be aware of the meeting days. One challenge they face is choosing a club over another because they meet on the same day. However, if the freshmen wanted to join two clubs that conflict, they could talk to the club officers to manage the scheduling.
In the short 33 minute period, freshmen have the chance to browse through the commons looking at each unique club. The club fair is an important event that allows the freshmen to complete their transition into the high school and take part in the high school community.
