Campanelli is proud of the clubs that we offer to our Campi Cougars! We have a wide variety of clubs available for student participation during the 2024-25 school year. As you review the clubs, please keep in mind the dates and times of the clubs your child is interested in attending. We have many students interested in participating in these clubs and need to limit the number of participants for a variety of reasons. We often have students start a club and then leave the club, because there is another one of more interest to them and then that eliminates another student from participating who may have really wanted to be a part of that club. This year we have provided a calendar overview for you and your child to know the scope of the clubs for the year, and to help you and your child choose clubs that do not overlap so they can fully commit to and experience each club. To ensure that all students have an opportunity to participate, please consider the following with your child:
We appreciate your help with carefully choosing the clubs your child participates in to ensure as many students as possible have an opportunity to participate in a club of their choice! We are looking forward to your child participating in our clubs and for a great 2024-25 school year!
Students will work together to create, write, and film weekly news about what’s happening at Campanelli.
