Why High School Should Be Allowed In Middle School Clubs

By Ayla Sherman ‘27

Golda Och high school students should be allowed in middle school clubs. Middle and high schoolers alike will benefit from high school students joining middle school clubs.
High schoolers want to be in the far superior middle school clubs, which have better activities and are more engaging. For example, the high school Robotics Club only uses Legos, while the middle school club uses actual robotics materials. Even though the middle schoolers are smarter, the high schoolers can also handle using robotic materials with adult supervision. 

Additionally, some of the students want to understand what the middle schoolers do in their clubs, as they have more club options than high schoolers. For instance, the photoshop club is only available for middle school, and there is no alternative option in high school.
The high school students will also benefit because the middle school students can provide positive energy. It would also give middle schoolers leadership opportunities by allowing them to mentor their older peers.  
The school will benefit from this because the high school and middle school students will be more unified, and the community will grow stronger. The middle school faculty will get to know the high school students better.
Everyone in the Upper School will have a greater sense of community and knowledge by being together for clubs. The clubs will improve because of the new ideas and fresh topics discussed during the meetings. The students and the faculty will learn from each other, and as a result, we will all be more connected to each other and our school.
