International Club

International Club is comprised of students who are interested in both learning and spreading an understanding of the multicultural world. The students have a chance to meet people, explore world cultures, discuss international issues, and educate the school community about the many cultures that exist in our school. Members often participate in movie nights, international game and food events, arts and crafts activities, and travel to regional cultural events. In the spring, the students sponsor an International Night open to all.
