This year, the MBS student body has worked hard to cultivate the new wave of clubs entering the program. These new and returning clubs were featured at the annual club fair for the Upper School on the class of 2020 quad during the second week of school. During the club fair, each group and their respective leaders set up tables and posters on the quad that described their goals and objectives for this school year allowing interested students to ask questions, meet student leaders, and learn more about causes they wanted to be involved in. Each year, MBS welcomes new clubs to campus in addition to continuing to support clubs that may have been around for years.

Mock Trial is a returning club this year. Its goal is to imitate and recreate law cases, and is a perfect opportunity to explore and develop knowledge about law. Meeting every Wednesday in GH 106, this club has positions for witnesses to act out various characters involved in the cases in addition to opportunities to act as lawyers, prosecutors or defenders. The club is run this year by Sloane Fiverson ‘25, president, and John Degnan ‘27, vice-president.

Science Olympiad is a new club to MBS, but not a new club in the high school world. It is a STEM-based club focused on learning new topics through competition. The club encourages teamwork, problem solving, and leadership. This club serves as a supportive, nurturing environment to make mistakes and indulge yourself in engaging STEM related activities. Science Olympiad is run by Sara Tang ‘27 and Sophia Greller ‘26.

Crimson Cares is welcomed back to campus, this year led by co-presidents Reagan Gatz ‘25 and Trevor Gatz ‘26. Crimson Cares creates a variety of items for those in need. This club provides community service hours and is a great way to pitch in and help others. During large holidays, Crimson Cares creates baskets of items and necessities for those in need to support the community in a rewarding way. 

The many clubs MBS has to offer allows students to take initiative and to pursue their interests. The program also allows students to have the opportunity to create their own club and have a leadership role in our community. Whether it’s an activity such as the Crimson Spirit Squad, or helping others in the Community Service Club, there is a place for everyone on campus. Clubs allow students to discover new interests and hobbies, prompting students to extend their horizons and leave their comfort zones. If there is a club on campus that you are hesitant to join, take the risk and be open to new opportunities. Questions about clubs can be directed to Ms. Erinn Salge, Director of Student Activities.
