Service Based Clubs
Do Something Club
The DoSomething Club’s goal is to bring students together to create change and make a positive impact on the world. To do this, the club will meet once a month to complete campaigns that cost almost nothing to students. There are a multitude of amazing campaigns to take part in. Some campaigns are as simple as leaving positive post-it notes around school (on bathroom mirrors and lockers) to brighten someone’s day or recognizing everyday heroes like teachers and custodians with cards of appreciation. Additionally, there are campaigns that address environmental issues, racial inequality, voting, and so much more. The final goal of this club is to make these acts of kindness available to all members of the school community. It’s important to show high school students that they can create change and make a positive impact on the world all on their own.

Game Changers
Game Changers is a club devoted to raising funds for organizations, including public and private schools, in need of sports equipment which may not otherwise be available because of lack of funding.

Growth and Awareness Group for Alzheimer's
The Growth and Awareness Group for Alzheimer’s (GAGA) is aiming to help fight to end Alzheimer's disease. We can fight for the families witnessing their loved ones deteriorate. We can fight for the 44 million people worldwide suffering. And finally, we can fight for future generations who should never have to face such a tragic disease.
In order to reach this goal, GAGA participates in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The event is a super exciting time for GAGA as we celebrate our work and walk alongside hundreds of others fighting for the same cause. We also organize bake sales, host fundraisers at local retail shops, and are even planning a gaga tournament to raise money! Last but not least, our club has visited the Bristal in Armonk and conducted a music therapy event with memory care patients; we hope to plan more of these events this year.
Join our Google Classroom with code “hd5zs73”, and sign up for the walk or donate using this link: http://act.alz.org/goto/GAGA_BHHS
