Sports
Sometimes I think to myself, how is it that students have any time to get into trouble? Between the academic rigor of their classes, the extracurricular athletics, and the club offerings we have at CHS, students have no excuses to be bored.
You will see a small sampling of the club offerings we have here at CHS and the current news of them. Please note that not all clubs offered at our school are listed below.
Key Club
Key club is a service club at CHS that currently has about 35 members. President Courtney Hack and the other members were recently recognized by the Carson City Chapter of the Navy League for their donation of books given to the Marine Corps base at Pickel Meadows in California. Congrats on this prestigious award!
Key Club will be holding a fundraiser at Johnny Rockets on South Highway 395 on Monday. “Dining to Donate” gives back 20 percent of your food ticket back to the club.
Environmental Club
CHS Environmental Club has continued its activities for second semester. The primary duties of this club are collecting paper, plastic and aluminum recycling from classrooms at CHS.
The club currently has 17 members and two advisers. The members are broken up into three teams, one for each floor of our building and for the Tech Center classrooms.
Every Thursday, one of the teams will begin its rounds by collecting paper and plastic/aluminum. On an average Thursday, the club fills up two bins of paper, and three to five large plastic bags of plastic/aluminum.
The club has formed partnerships with local recycling businesses that come to the school to pick up our sorted recycling. We have great participation among the teachers at CHS as around 80 percent of classrooms put out their recycling to be picked up by the students.
The entire school is working together to make the building more sustainable. Please contact Devin Nielsen at dnielsen@ carson.k12.nv.us for more in formation about this club. New members are always welcome.
