[October 2017] New clubs launch at Staples

Teddy Dienst ’20

Staples’ annual Involvement Fair officially kicked off on Monday Oct. 2 as students flooded the cafeteria hallways to take advantage of the opportunity to get involved in a club. Whether it was for cooking, sports or technology, there was an abundance of names written on sign up sheets.

At least 18 clubs were added to this year’s lineup, one of which is the Social Entrepreneurs Club founded by Daniel Felton ’19 and Will Rosenthal ’19. “We want to benefit and help give students a better understanding of what it means to be an entrepreneur,” Rosenthal said about why they created the club.

Ava Sholes ’20 also created a business -oriented organization called the Women’s Entrepreneur Club. The club’s focus is to “explore opportunities and gain an understanding in business,” Sholes said. “We hope to accomplish helping students launch their own businesses. Our goal for the future is to have an entrepreneurial fair, similar to a science fair, [to] demonstrate new entrepreneurial ideas and compete against other businesses.”

Another new club that attracted students was Elementary Unified Sports. President Brian Krawiec ’19 and co-president Zach Feinstein ’18 were inspired by the Unified Sports club at Staples. This club was created for disabled students in elementary school. “I hope to get more of our community involved with this and to create a fun environment for students to interact and become friends through an open gym,” Krawiec said.

These are just a few of the clubs available to students. Grade level assistant Dee Hychko was impressed with the increasing popularity. “There’s a great interest in activities all over,” she said. “It’s also a great experience and a great way to meet new people.”
