Despite the current situation due to COVID-19, the students of PPHS have found ways to continue club activities in an engaging way. This year, new clubs have been formed by students and advisors which includes the Stock Market Club, TedEd Talks, Resolve Club, Our Minds Matter, Debate Club, and FUSE. These clubs have been created by students and advisors in an attempt to broaden opportunities, speak to current interests, and tempt students into being more involved in PPHS activities. The Stock Market Club was created by senior Haig Emirzian, and the advisor is Ms. Dellosa. This club was designed to educate students about how to trade stocks and options by using fake currency to trade in the real market. The meetings are being held every Thursday at 1:15P.M. for those who are interested. TedEd Talks, initiated by Kristen Kim and advised by Ms. Mancini, is designed to utilize Ted-Ed’s official curriculum as a guide to help students become the next TED-talk speakers and leaders. Students are encouraged to make projects and present ideas in TED-style talks to submit them, and have them shared on the TED-ED channel. The meetings are being held every Tuesday at 1:00P.M. The Resolve Club, also founded by Kristen Kim and advised by Ms. Graf, was created for students to be able to practice their leadership skills by discussing and addressing issues in the school and community and making their voices heard. The meetings are held every 2nd and 4th Monday at 1 P.M., for those who are interested. Our Minds Matter was founded by Kaila Huh and advisor Ms. Rudolph. The goal of this club is to facilitate a positive atmosphere that focuses on the well-being of PPHS students’ minds through the normalization of seeking help and looking out for each other. The meetings are being held every month; join the club on Google Classroom for specific dates (access code: axjqljx). Debate Club, also founded by Kaila Huh, is advised by Mr. Mascolo and was created to help students learn how to improve their public speaking skills through discussing current events, forming arguments, preparing for competitions, and being engaged in meaningful conversations. The meetings are being held once a week on Fridays. FUSE was organized by seniors May Joh and Jiwon Lee and is advised by Mrs. Perez. The goal of this non-profit organization is to focus on bringing awareness to gender equality and women’s rights through the making and selling of jewelry which is then donated to organizations that support women. Please join for the first open meeting which is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 12th. Join the club on Google Classroom for additional information (access code ujjn3mn). These students of PPHS have worked hard to be able to form new, interactive clubs even during these difficult times when students are not able to physically attend clubs. They have managed to run these clubs remotely and tap into ways to exercise their passions and interests. Even though we are mid-way through the year, the students of PPHS are invited to participate in these new organizations and the numerous other clubs offered to expand their knowledge further.
