Activity day returns to campus

Written By: Christina Cantwell

Activity Day is a day when students are permitted to leave their classes early to meet with their club members.

“I thought all the the clubs would meet up together,” freshman Kristen Martin said. “I thought we would all do activities out in the football field or something.”

This is Martins freshman year in high school. This is also her first time participating in a club on Activity Day.

“I was really excited, but I did not know what to expect,” Martin said.

Students prepare for Activity Day in many different ways. Whether it be wearing your club shirt, or collecting club passes to get out of class.

This year the passes were not a little piece of paper with the students name and location. They were colored stickers that the students put on the back of their identification cards.

Student identification cards were mandatory to participate.

“I had to look for all my friends so we could go together,” Martin said. “I did not want to walk in all alone.”

Different clubs met up in different locations through out the school and the teachers or sponsors in charge were responsible for deciding how the time would be spent.

“We had to meet up in the cafeteria,” Martin said. “We talked for a few minutes, then we just had some free time to hang out with our friends.”

There is a wide variety of clubs offered to the students, such as Future Christian Athletes, Key Club, The Video Gamers Club, AIM, National Honor Society.

“I went to Key Club,” Martin said. “It is a good club to get community service hours in.”

Key Club was put together by Nancy Boudreau, the photography teacher at Citrus High. The Club is an organized way for students to earn their community service hours and participate in multiple fundraisers.

“I liked this experience,” Martin said. “It suprised me, because it was different than what I had expected and it was really fun.”
