Another club that focuses on improving our community and has many volunteer opportunities is the Habitat for Humanity Club! Elizabeth Burns, a 12th grader at CHS, explains what the goals of this club are. Elizabeth explained how the club has a goal of giving back to the community by participating in drives and fundraisers. Elizabeth also explained how “many different schools and organizations, including UVA, have a Habitat for Humanity club.” A typical meeting includes spreading information and working on projects. If you’re interested, come to Ms.Horne’s room (C102) every other Monday to get involved! 

Want a club where you will learn life skills and will be worth the investment? If so, join the Investment Club! Jude Fairchild, 12th grader at CHS, described why the Investment Club is a must join! This is Jude’s fourth year being in the Investment Club, and second year running it! Jude explains his goals for the Investment Club, “I hope to engage students of all backgrounds through an interactive teaching method involving activities, cases, and other mediums” he explained. He added how he has “been provided knowledge about investing and finance from a young age” and that he hopes to “help other students reach the world of investing”. The Investment Club meets on Wednesdays in D242 (Mr.Daly’s room). Jude explained how in an average meeting, he “tries to find new ways to engage students whether that be through competition, an interactive lesson, cases, or guest speakers”. He stressed how “Mostly though, the club is meant to be what the members want. If someone wants to learn about or talk about something then we will listen with attentive ears”. The Investment Club is sure to be a fun time and a welcoming environment!
