Model Congress
Adviser: Ms. Gallagher
Thursday, A313
Model Congress is a club where we act as the United States Senate would in debating and passing mock bills that apply directly to the United States. These bills can be drafted by any member of the club, according to a certain format. One Senator acts as the Chair, which involves moderating the debate, timing each speech, and making certain decisions about the order of how the debate will go. At the end of the debate, the Model Congress votes on the bill, giving each senator the option to vote in favor, against, or abstain from voting on the bill.

Philosophy Club
Adviser: Mr. Whalen
Every other Thursday, A112
The Fox Lane Philosophy Club is:
1. a place where thoughtful students can gather to learn new things and explore new ideas;
2. an adventure in being reflective persons within a community where everyone is both a teacher and a student—a community of inquiry;
3. a thinking community which welcomes all ideas and encourages participants to develop self confidence in their own thinking and speaking.
