Clubs

This year Art club is coming together with Legacy to take our creativity and good deeds to our Sutter community and beyond!  This year in addition to painting ceiling tiles, going to San Francisco and showing our work in galleries, all interested artistic Sutter Miners will be creating work for local children’s hospitals, senior centers, animal advocacy groups and other non-profits!  We will also be looking for a space to do a mural, starting work on a community garden and thinking up potential “flash mob” ideas (but don’t tell anyone–it’ll be a surprise:-)!  Art Into Action will be run by Ms. O’Neill (with guest appearances). ALL ARE WELCOME!

Wednesdays 2:40 – 3:40 – Room 104

Do ideas whirl around in your head like the spin cycle on the washing machine? Are you looking for an outlet for your pent up teenage angst? Then come on by Writers Club where you have the opportunity to work on new writing, finish personal writing projects, and help others review their work. Come once or come every week. Mr. Mitchell wants to work with students who are passionate about writing and exploring ideas.

Tuesdays from 2:35-3:30, Room 303

If you’re a fast thinker and enjoy the challenge of math, join Mathletes! The club is run by Ms. Martin and is meant to make math exciting through competition. “I want the students to have a great time with math,” she said. Members go to John F. Kennedy High School to compete against our rivals. The teams must complete a variety of group and individual tests in limited time. Sutter’s Mathletes have been on a first place winning streak for the last ten years and Ms. Martin wants to continue this tradition. To be a Mathlete you need a teacher recommendation and a love for math. The Mathletes practice at Sutter and compete in tournaments at JFK High School . 

Meetings: 1st & 3rd Friday  2:45-3:45 in room 215

Competitions at JFK: October 18, November 15, January 10, February 14, March 21, and April 18

Are you a member of the LGBTQ+ community? Or if not, would you like to show your support and alliance to people who are? Either way, you have a place in the Coalition. This club welcomes people of all genders and sexualities to engage in open discussion and activism. We meet weekly to discuss issues relating to queer-straight relations and to provide a safe space for students to express thoughts, worries and questions and share advice with peers. Don’t let the fear of being different hold you back from changing the world! And remember, you don’t have to “come out” to come out to Rainbow Coalition! 

Fridays at lunch – Room 301

Joining Sutter’s debate team is a great way for your voice to be heard. In the meetings, participants discuss current events and prepare to compete in tournaments. Sutter’s team is nationally recognized and even won first place in the National Championships in 2009. Mr. Baradat, the club’s advisor, said that members need to, “want to debate, work to debate, and have fun debating.” 

Wednesdays 2:40-3:45 in room 205

Mr. Mitchell really knows how to tie a tie and would show you how it’s done. Stop by room 303 at lunch on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays for a “tie-rrific” time!

Tuesdays (2nd & 4th of the month) at lunch in Room 303
