O Mlnd an d BOd I got it! After playing racquetball the racquetball club plays a game of WalleybalY, to end the day. Two Clubs Strive For excellence I The National Junior Honor Society and Raquetball Club were two major extracurricular activities in our school. Both activities helped students accomplish their goals. Whether it was going to the library after school to study, or going to Aquarius for exercise, each found a way to become healthier in mind and body. The NJHS is an organization that recognizes honor students. Each year they have a big fund raiser. With the money they raised, they bought a sign for the junior high. This was done by selling Christmas gifts one year and candy and cheese another. It took a total of two years to save for this sign. tiThe project sign was a gift from the NJHS to our school and wasnit paid by parents taxes, stated NJHS advisor Mr. Wayne Thompson. In the last two years they saved over $3,000 which made just enough money to purchase the sign. til feel that the money we made on our sales was used in a good way because the sign will let the community know whats going on in the junior high, stated freshman Heather Reed. Each member of the NJHS also had to complete a service project for the year. In this project they had to help the community, school, elders, etc. iiThe service project was very helpful because it let me help out other people and show that the NJHS wants to help? stated freshman Theresa Blaser. To be in the NJHS each student must have a 3.5 grade average and a variety of extracurricular activities. The people who wanted to get some exercise and have fun doing it joined the Racquetball Club. For'the first time, racquetball playing was made into an activity with the help of math teacher, Ms. Linda Schira. til like playing racquetball and I wanted students to get interested, too, stated Ms. Schira. The club consists of fifteen students from 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. They met every Wednesday from 3:15 to 4: 15 at Aquarius Racquetball Center. The cost was $2.00 every week. iiThe racquetball club has given me a chance to learn a different sport and get great exercise, too, stated freshman Crystal Torres. $400.00!! During 7th hour, the NJHS officers conduct a meeting to discuss how much money they need to raise in the new fund raiser.
