Immaculata-La Salle was buzzing with excitement Wednesday, September 16, as students gathered for the annual Club Fair. Hallways and open spaces filled with tables, colorful posters, candy bowls, and sign-up sheets as club leaders called out to friends and classmates, hoping to spark interest in their clubs. Students walked around with friends, exploring new opportunities and learning more about the activities available at school.
The Club Fair gave students the chance to discover clubs that matched their interests, meet new people, and become more involved in the ILS community. From service and leadership to sports, creativity, and culture, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
The choices covered every interest. Students who wanted to lead or serve could check out Student Council, Ambassadors, LINK, Key Club, or SALTT (Service and Leadership for Today & Tomorrow). Service groups like Purple Hearts, Be the Light, and CRS (Catholic Relief Services) focused on making a difference both locally and globally.
Career-focused clubs such as HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America), DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), Financial Literacy Club, and the Athletic Training Club gave students the chance to explore future professions while gaining real-world experience. HOSA even had students in scrubs handing out information about upcoming competitions.
Creativity and culture had a big spotlight, too. The Drama Club, Fine Arts Club, Glee Club, Band, Fashion Club, and Sports Broadcasting Club showed off talent and school spirit. Cultural organizations like the Japan Club, Portuguese Language and Culture Club, and Spanish Honor Society invited students to celebrate traditions through food, music, and fun activities.
With so many clubs available, students had the opportunity to explore interests outside the classroom. Tiffany Acosta enjoyed seeing the variety of activities offered at ILS.
“There are so many options for students, and I think it is a good way to get out of your comfort zone and make new friends,” she said.
The Club Fair also brought students together and helped create a stronger sense of community. Carlota Beltran highlighted how the event gives students a chance to connect with others.
“The Club Fair is important because it brings students together and shows how many opportunities we have at ILS,” she Beltran said. “It is a fun way to learn about clubs and become more involved in the school community,” she added.
For many students, today’s Club Fair was more than just a chance to sign up for activities. It was an opportunity to find new interests, make friends, and become part of something bigger. With so many clubs to choose from, students left the fair excited about the school year ahead and the experiences waiting for them.
The event reminded the ILS community that school is not only about academics, but also about discovering passions, building relationships, and creating memories together. As students continue to explore the many clubs offered at ILS, today’s Club Fair set the stage for another year of involvement, leadership, and Royal pride.
