A Knight’s Club

Head, heart, hands, and health are the ingredients that make up a 4-H Utah State Youth Council. At Springillve Junior High School the Knights of the Round Table are student representatives that stand for the student body and meet every Monday, voting on and discussing issues that might affect our school. Recently, the Knights have been talking about beginning after school clubs at SJHS.

There would be a large variety of clubs that would be available to just about anyone. Some of the clubs that might be offered are things like karate, cinematography, interior design, skiing/snowboarding, fashion design, yoga, bowling, robotics, and many others. Parents and citizens are also welcome to suggest any ideas that they might have for clubs. Teachers or community members would supervise these clubs, and there would be a permission slip that parents would have to sign, but the fun and excitement of these after school activities would be worth it.

“I think anytime a student can have fun in an extracurricular activity is important,” said Mr. David Knudsen, vice principal at SJHS.

The Knights have been discussing this for about the last month, but there are still things that need to be done to put the idea into action. First, they have to finalize the details of the plan, then they have to wait for a Utah State Grant to receive a budget for the after school clubs. Many things, like cost and off-campus trips, are still in the very early stages of planning.

The chance for SJHS to come together after school to have a good time and learn cool things sounds exhilarating. Many of the students are very excited and looking forward to the opportunity.

“It would be great to keep the students busy after school in a fun way,” said Zach Hansen, a seventh grade member of the Knights of the Round Table.

The school holds its breath in anticipation for the closing decision of the Knights of the Round Table on after school, 4-H clubs.
