B-CC held its annual Club Fair during lunch on Wednesday, Sept. 20.
From academic groups like the Science National Honor Society to student interest groups such as the Dungeons and Dragons Club, the B-CC Club Fair offered a variety of opportunities this year.
Senior Kate Campbell recently took over the One Love club, which aims to teach people the difference between unhealthy and healthy relationships. One Love has been a club at B-CC since 2019, and Campbell joined as a freshman. Campbell said, “The Club Fair is perfect, it’s a very good opportunity to let all freshmen, or anyone who wants to join new clubs, see what all the different clubs are about and hopefully get involved and join one.” From Sports Debate to Baking for the Better, the Club Fair offered a variety of opportunities for Barons to find their niche this year.
Several brand-new clubs set up tables at the fair this year. Noa Wortman, a Junior, started a club this year that is a branch of a program called Ari’s Bears. “We stuff stuffed animals for kids in hospitals and then deliver them and raise money for childhood cancer,” said Wortman, adding, “On Instagram people don’t look at posts, click on things and sign up. But in person, you can see what you want and then actually sign up.”
The Club Fair is an event designed to showcase student clubs and organizations and increase student involvement at school. At B-CC it continues to be a rousing success with scores of students attending and many new clubs added each year. “It shows how much of a community B-CC is and how we all want to be part of something,” said Sophomore Maya Schweiki while describing her first experience walking around at the Club Fair for the first time.
Ms. Fishel, Schoolwide SGA Advisor and co-coordinator of set-up for the fair, said, “The Club Fair was very successful this year, and we are so excited that our number of registered clubs is record-breaking once again. If students did not get a chance to sign up, they can go to the @schoolwidebcc Instagram to find a full list of clubs and their info. It is also on the B-CC website.”
