Have you joined a club yet?
- Clubs are a great way for students to connect and meet other students who share their interests. At this time all of our clubs are happening online using video meetings.
- Learn more or join one of these clubs by enrolling in the Canvas course called "FOS Clubs" (check with a teacher for the link)
- If you would like to start a club, talk with your teachers about finding a supervisor. All clubs need an adult adviser.
