FLYING CLOUD INSTITUTE: GIRLS SCIENCE CLUB/MAKERSPACE

From the Flying Cloud Institute website: "Flying Cloud Institute (FCI) partners with area schools to develop weekly Girls Science Clubs held after school in a number of local public schools. Women scientists volunteer their time to train high school girls as mentors who assist the scientists in leading hands-on laboratory activities with the elementary and middle school club members each week. During the hour and a half lab sessions girls explore fascinating topics not usually presented to elementary students. Girls keep a lab book and prepare a presentation for their parents and friends at the end of the eight week session."

These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929.

The Auriga Chapter of the NHS is always active. Students perform many different kinds of services, some on their own and some as a group. Each year the group holds a fundraiser to raise money for the Cum Laude awards, which are given out at graduation.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA

When you think of Future Farmers of America (FFA), you may assume that it's a club comprised of students dedicated solely to farming. Based on the FFA name, it's a natural assumption, but one that is very far from the truth. Members of FFA can choose an area of interest like nursery/landscape, food science and technology, forestry, floriculture, horticulture or they can elect to build life skills in areas like public speaking, parliamentary procedure, farm business management and marketing. In order to test their mettle against other FFA chapters, funds need to be raised to compete at the state and national levels
