By Dan Wille, Assistant Principal An important foundational element of our school is the emphasis on creating well-rounded students who are passionate, engaged, and contributing members to their community. One great way for students to hone their skills outside of the academic day while engaging in the community is to participate in one of the numerous clubs & activities at D’Evelyn. We have over 30 teacher-sponsored clubs at D’Evelyn that range in purpose from volunteering in numerous community events, to participating in state extracurricular competitions, to simply having fun with other students who share similar passions. One of the greatest characteristics of these clubs is that they are designed and organized by students. We are very fortunate to have such dedicated teachers as they generously volunteer their time and energy to guide student club leaders in their activities. We also have clubs and activities that are parent-driven, and we are very thankful to have such engaged families who enrich our curriculum by organizing real-world experiences for our kids. Additionally, each club gives back to the community in its own way such as helping collect recycling materials, participating in school-wide events such as Trick-Or-Treat Street, or planning initiatives encouraging our students to treat each other with kindness. Student Council, for example, coordinates all the logistics, events, and activities for Homecoming week which involves countless hours of planning. Sources of Strength spreads compassion, kindness, generosity, and love throughout the student body. We strongly encourage students to be involved in the D’Evelyn experience by participating in activities as a way to invest in themselves helping make the six years they spend at D’Evelyn as memorable and meaningful as possible. To find out more about the opportunities that exist for students to participate, please visit http://bit.ly/2ZlrYxV to see the list of clubs, when they meet, who they are sponsored by, and a brief description of what they do. Finally, if a student or parent has any ideas about a new club or activity, please do not hesitate to contact our Activities Director, Dan Wille ([email protected]) for more information. GO JAGS!
