After school activities and clubs provide students the chance to explore interests, make new friends, increase interest in school, and so much more.
Now, we recently went to Bonanza High School to find out more about some extracurricular activities offered at that school.
Our visit, by the way, fell during Homecoming Week and Wear Your Pajamas to School Day, where school spirit was on full display.
Check it out.
[swiping sound] [cool jazz music] (Sidney McGhee) It gives me a place to be when I have nowhere else to go, and it keeps me busy.
It made me a lot closer to all the people in the school, I'd say.
We have a competition every February.
There, a lot of the schools in Vegas will come out, and I'll come and shoot.
And usually the prizes are pretty big.
I mean, there was this, like, ruby colored bow one year.
(Isaiah Felix) Hey, what club are you in?
(Millie Chavez) This is the Bonanza Robotics Club.
-Why did you join this club?
I joined this club because I wanted, again, like a hands-on take on engineering and programming.
For me, it would definitely be our scholarship opportunities, and we also do, oftentimes, get invited to work with UNLV at certain workshops.
Well, right now we are prepping for our first competition, which is October 30 and which is very exciting, so we're building our robot to hopefully be able to compete.
(Yanira Rodriguez) Hello, everyone.
Welcome to the first ICC meeting.
If you don't know why you're here, this is a way to connect all the councils and, like, the sports and clubs so we have a better community and also more, more of a communication throughout the school.
Well, I gained a lot of different types of skills being in different clubs and things like that.
I tried Archery, and we did ROTC.
I also did Swim.
And so I tried those, and I found they weren't for me.
And so then I got more towards Student Council and Cheer and things like that.
And so I got-- that got me to where I am.
-I'm currently in Key Club, Stu.
Co., and Volleyball.
I do all these things so I could try to, like, build like a path for myself in the future, try to become more sociable.
Like in Key Club, we do, like, some charity work sometimes, and it helps out with, like, colleges and stuff like that.
(Brian Wiseman) I think it gives kids a sense of belonging.
It gives kids a reason to come to school and do well in class and be good citizens on campus.
-Thank you so much for sharing.
What fun programs!
Well, after school activities definitely help keep students engaged and wanting to come to school.
