As lunch approaches from September 8<\/span>th<\/span> to September 10<\/span>th<\/span>, students at Miami Lakes Educational Center (MLEC) won\u2019t be worrying about how much their stomachs are growling, but instead which club is the right fit for them. Whether it\u2019s MLEC\u2019s Jagettes or American Sign Language Club, this week only students will be able to catch a glimpse into every club at MLEC\u2019s Club Rush. <\/span><\/p>\n

From students clamoring to sign-up for new clubs to officers of these clubs shouting over the crowds flowing through F-Cafeteria\u2019s walkway, Club Rush is one of MLEC\u2019s events that is a must for freshmen to experience. Although the event is catered mostly to freshmen looking for a new experience, sophomores, juniors, and seniors have the chance to join clubs they couldn\u2019t in years past for the chance to find their perfect organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cClub Rush was very organized and an exciting event to attend. I was interested in joining I.T. club because it deals with the strand I\u2019ll be going into and it\u2019ll help me in excelling in my academy so that I\u2019ll be able to understand more about my future career in information and technology,\u201d said Xavier Gonzalez, a freshman in the Information Technology (I.T.) Academy.<\/p>\n

During Club Rush each individual club from Junior State of America (JSA) to Key Club is vying for students\u2019 attention, hoping to achieve as many new members as possible. Not only is it a time to gain members, but clubs are able to gain popularity by explaining some of the services they provide such as community service or a chance to learn a new language.<\/p>\n

\u201cClub rush is a weeklong event that SGA holds to showcase the clubs that we have at our school. Freshmen especially benefit because this is the week where clubs get to show what they\u2019re about. I love seeing how the clubs show their spirit. Clubs can get new members and members can experience something new so everyone benefits,\u201d said Sharon Arana, Student Government Association (SGA) President.<\/p>\n

As new members, students gain insight into MLEC\u2019s diverse clubs and experience what it means to become part of an organization. Freshmen will be able to start developing their leadership skills and gaining community service while upperclassmen will be able to compete for officer positions within their clubs and beyond in their organizations<\/p>\n

From the crowded walkway to the line of people anxious signing up for new clubs, Club Rush is one of MLEC\u2019s best events to attend. If you\u2019re looking for opportunities in leadership and community service, it is the best event to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
