Rocklin High School’s annual club rush took place at the RHS amphitheater on Aug. 29 with hundreds of students attending. Underneath the hot sun, both new and old clubs set up tables to showcase what their club has to offer.
The Drama Club was a popular and lively booth at club rush with its members dressed in hats and holding up multiple signs to draw students’ attention. The club’s aim is to create a “safe environment in the theater,” said Emma Sims, one of the social media coordinators for the club. In addition to the students who took theater as a class, the club is for people who do not have time to partake in the school plays. One of the presidents, Roman Camber, said he has big plans for activities in the club. Aside from just watching movies and doing improv shows, the club members are going to other schools and theaters to watch their shows.
“It’s going to be a fun time, so join Drama Club,” he said.
Across from the Drama Club was another lively stand, the Garden Club. The Garden Club uses the school garden, located near the V-buildings. This year, they plan to host a farmer’s market so that students “not even in the club can go and take plants,” said Elijah Cox, the president of the club. They hope to have stands around the V-buildings and give out vegetables and fruits to anybody who passes by. Any student can join the club, nobody has to have experience on how to garden already.
“I joined this club last year with no experience, and now I’m the president,” said Cox.
With treats like candy and popsicles being handed out at many stands, the Waste Management Club was collecting wrappers and keeping the amphitheater clean. This club provides an easy way to get community service hours with no intense commitment. Sofia Gutierrez, the club president, recommends that club as a “reliable way to get community service hours” while easily helping the environment.
The Medical Club had sheep hearts at their stand for anyone looking to pursue a medical pathway after school or just curious to join. The club offers community service hours and is a “place for people to learn about different medical pathways,” said Kailyn Kwok, a club member. Paisley Dysart and Bella Domes have plans for the club to invite past Rocklin alumni in the medical field to come in as guest speakers and share their experiences.
“We just wanted to share our passion and our dream to be in the medical field with everyone else,” said Dysart.
