SHREDDING THE SLOPES

By CAROLINE HART

CAROLINE HART FOR THE WIZARD WEEKLY
There is no shortage of diversity when it comes the clubs offered at Washingtonville High School.   These clubs are meant to bring like minded students together.  They get students involved in causes and activities that they are passionate about.  The ski and snowboard club is no exception.  

The ski and snowboard club is run by advisor, Mrs. Kirk, and chaperone, Mr. Cerar.   These two dedicated teachers take approximately 60 eager students to Mountain Creek in Vernon, New Jersey every Thursday.  These excursions start in January and continue once a week for six weeks.  This is not a huge commitment and, therefore, even accommodates students who play sports or are involved in other extracurricular activities.

These weekly trips to Vernon are not mandatory.  Mr Cerar, explained, “The ski/snowboard club is not something you have to make a total commitment to.”  If members miss one or two trips, it is really not a big deal at all.  This club is designed to work around students’ schedules making it a stress free option for anyone desiring to hit the slopes. 

Joining the club is simple.   If interested, one only needs to talk to Mrs. Kirk to discover the process.  Alexa Neybold, senior and member of the ski/snowboard club, expressed, “The club is very organized and all the seniors love helping out new members in making sure they have everything they need to enjoy their trip.”

The club is always open to new members and is a great way to make new friends while doing something enjoyable and exciting.  Kids from all grades are welcome and encouraged to check it out.
