Clubs at School

There are a bunch of clubs to join here at Brea Junior High. Coming in many varieties, clubs at this school are a nice thing to do if you are bored at lunch or looking to make some friends. However, students aren’t really aware of the clubs at this school, so here are some of the fun clubs you can join at school.

Academic Pentathlon is a competition where students compete against other schools in five different subjects. It is in A4, taught by Mr Le. The club takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunch. Let's see what the members think of the club. 

Leader of Academic Penthalon: Destan Kang, 8th Grade

How long have you been part of this club?

I've been part of the academic pentathlon for both of my junior high years.

What is the purpose of the Academic Pentathlon? 

It is an academic club that gets to choose to study 5 more subjects.

Do you think you’ll be better this year?

Yes, I think I'll be better because I'm going to study more.

Will you be a main asset to the Academic Pentathlon?

No, because everybody is equal and nobody is better than others.

Would you recommend this club to anyone else?

Yes, for anybody who wants to study more.

The team is excited.

Have you enjoyed this club so far? 

Yes, because I get to hang out with my friends and learn more.

Do you have any interest in joining other clubs this year?

Maybe going to Club Rock once or twice, but other than that, no.

Another club at Brea Junior High is the chess club. The chess club is a fun place where you can play chess with your friends and have a good time. This club is also held in A4 by Mr Le on Mondays and Wednesdays. Let's see what some of the members have to say. 

Treasurer/Secretary: Molly Solorzano, 8th Grade

What was the main reason you stayed?

The reason I stayed is that it was fun competing with people.

Member: Ryan Sem, 8th Grade

What was your main reason for joining this club?

I joined the chess club because it was really hot outside and I needed AC.

What was the thing that made you stay?

 I stayed because of the AC (It was very hot outside). 

Were there any other reasons why you stayed?

Another reason why I stayed was that I got to draw on the whiteboards. 

Would you recommend this club to anyone else?

However, in all seriousness, it was fun because chess is fun, and I would recommend this club for any kids who want to have fun.

Club Rock is a club for all Christians who want to get closer to God. It's a fun way to spend your lunch, but sadly, the club has not started yet. It will be on Thursdays in the room D-26, also known as Mr. Ausmus's room, and there hasn’t been a date for when the first meeting is. Let's hear from some of the past members about the club.

These are only three of the many great clubs at this school. However, you may be wondering what if none of these clubs interests me? Well, if this happens, you can start your own club by going to the front office to find out the rules. Overall, clubs are a fun way to learn, make friends, and have fun in school. Make sure to look out for upcoming clubs and events at this school.
