D&D Club

Yes! Weehawken High School now has a D&D Club.

What is D&D Club? It's a club that gives students a safe social place to play the fantasy role playing game, Dungeons and Dragons. D&D is an immersive story telling game where students expand their imaginations, open up their creativity and even increase their vocabulary and desire to read. I began playing D&D in the early 80's, yes 1980's and I did not realize till later that much of my my desire to read was ignited during those early days. Not only did I want to play the game but I wanted to read the books which inspired the game, all of them. The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, and the stories of Greek mythology were just a few of the sources. I wanted to read them all and I now see this same trait in many of the students who joined the club. This club not only offers a student a fun time to socialize, but unknowingly offers them a great educational tool as well.

The club will endeavor to meet every other Tuesday and all students, at all grade levels are welcome, although groups may be formed based on age.
