Even though learning in the academic areas is the primary purpose of any school program, extra-curricular activities are also an extremely valuable area where students share accomplishments and learning experiences beyond those which occur in the classroom. A wide variety of activities are available and we strongly encourage all of our students to become involved in one or more of them.
Art Club
Sponsor: Mr. Niwa - Meets alternating Wednesdays beginning October 20
Art Club is a year-long opportunity for all students at Aux Sable to expand their Art skills, knowledge, and appreciation beyond the classroom. Art Club will be a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and individual’s ideas. Not only will there be extensions on class material, but their will also be new topics discussed within Art History and Art technique. Some of the topics and activities will include:
- Surrealism
- Abstract Expressionism
- Assemblage Sculptures
- Graphic Design
- School Art Shows and Displays
- Art Careers
- Group/Collaborative Paintings
The ultimate goal for the Art Club is to build a larger appreciation for the Visual Arts and to promote creative/abstract thought. Art Club will meet one time a week, every-other week, unless otherwise noted. Normal meeting dates will be held on Wednesdays, and a schedule will be given every month for easy reference. Each session will last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Due to high demand for this club regular attendance to meetings is expected of all students to retain a position within the club. All Art materials and supplies will be provided. All the students will be asked to bring on a daily basis is their sketchbook, a pencil and their enthusiasm.

Crosswalk is a club where we share similar beliefs and is like a youth group. We sit and listen to a message. We eat snacks, play games, and have fun. We take adventures and learn many great lessons.
Drama Club
Sponsor: Mrs. Raslowsky - Meets bi-weekly on Mondays from 2:45-3:45 in the cafeteria. - Begins October 4
During the meetings, the students learn how to audition, practice acting skills and do some singing. The students will be ready to audition in January for the spring musical. The audition will consist of three things: perform a fully memorized monologue, sing a song from the play, and participate in a cold reading from the script. Dramatically, the student will be judged on memorization, vocal expression, projection, gestures, facial expressions, movement and energy. Musically, students will be judged on singing ability and vocal range.
Students who want to be part of the theatre assemble but do not want to be on stage, can be part of the stage crew. Students with computer skills will be empowered to design show shirts, tickets, flyers, and programs. Students will work on costumes and assist with the stage make-up sessions. We will also need artists to help paint the set and make props. If students are strong, they will be needed to move the set during the last couple weeks of rehearsal and production dates.
We become a family during the rehearsal process. Being part of the Drama Club is fun, exciting, hard work, and very rewarding. Hearing the laughter and applause from the audience is FANTASTIC!
