VSS Clubs


Here at VSS there are many clubs to join that can spark our student's interests!  Check out the below list and make sure to stop in to as many as you can!


BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
When: Tuesday's @ Lunch
Where:  Library Office
What: 
Everyone is welcome to join us for lunch where we have a lot of laughs and sometimes get around to talking about the books on the list. 
No one has to read all of the books, but it's nice if they read at least one. 
High School Battle of the Books is quite different from the Elementary one: way more fun,
far more creative, and a little less competitive... but still a good spark to keep a student going!

 

STUDENTS OF SUSTAINABILITY

Where: Library Office
With Ms. Yamaoka & Ms. Magliocchi & Ms. Bell


EMPOWER HER ART PROGRAM 
When:  Thursdays @ 3:00 PM
Where:  Room 135

EMPOWER HER GYM
When:  Tuesdays @ 3:00 PM
Where:  East Gym - Studio
What: 
The aim is to help teenage girls be physically active throughout their lives, creating unforgettable experiences for them,
and building a community of inspirational, committed individuals. 
Each week students participate in physical activities decided upon by the group.
From time to time, students will be bussed to and from local gyms, fitness studios, and/or city facilities. 
The rationale behind these field trips is to expose students to a variety of activities and to hopefully connect them to an activity of interest.
