Club T-shirt dress allows students to represent campus involvement
April 20, 2018
With more than 60 clubs offered at the school, students have a wide variety of extracurricular opportunities to get involved in the community. Ranging from Anime Club to Mock Trial, students are encouraged to join multiple clubs to enrich their community experiences and form new friendships. Several times a semester, students are allowed to wear their club gear to advertise and represent the many diverse, social, educational, academic, and athletic clubs on campus. This Wednesday was the most recent “club T-shirt” dress day.
Junior Brooke Banta supports Campus Ministry by wearing a Special Games T-shirt during club dress. Made possible by Campus Ministry, Special Games is Mater Dei’s version of the Special Olympics: a day for athletes with special needs to compete and play games with student volunteers.
