Law’s Multicultural Club had its first meeting September 22 about the activities being planned for the year.

Multicultural Club is held every Monday after school in the college and career room and the club discusses different cultures, lifestyles, countries, and religions. It is a fun-loving club that anyone can join and is looking for new members.

“Multicultural Club is a student group that is composed of students of all different ethnicities and its goal is to increase understanding of global affairs and to have fun,” Law guidance counselor and Multicultural Club advisor Mrs. Reeves said.

During their first meeting, they discussed future project possibilities such as field trips, cultural cooking, and much more.

The Multicultural Club is composed of many different students and nationalities and it excludes no one.

“It is a great way for people of different ethnic backgrounds to come together and share their diversity,” junior class president and Multicultural Club member Leo Merturi said.

The students are very excited for the year and for the great things to come like new cultures and new friends.

“I like how we all come from different places, and we can relate to each other, and we are all just a big family,” junior Multicultural Club member Mariah Villanova said. “We are all friends.”

Multicultural Club members have many great memories and believe that it is all the more reason to join.

“I love it,” Reeves said. “I love the club, I love the kids, and I have seen a lot of students make lifetime friendships and grow.”

Many Multicultural Club members are still friends today and continue to come back every year, even after they have already graduated.

“You can share information, ideas and stories about cultures,” senior Multicultural Club member Sarah Kaisar said. “My friends are here and I met a lot of people here.”

Friendship and fun are the biggest goals for the club and all Multicultural club members devote their club time to being with each other and having fun. The College and Career Room is more boisterous then ever when the club meets up.

“You can make new friends and meet people from other countries and be interested in where they are from,” sophomore Multicultural Club member Hassna Alharbali said.

New club members are welcomed and usually always end up coming back.

“This club so far is phenomenal,” senior Multicultural Club member Justin Cortes said.

The many cultures discussed during the Multicultural Club’s meetings helps the members broaden their horizons on what is going on in the world.

“You can be open to different cultures and not always stick to your kind,” senior Multicultural Club member Razan Kaisar said.
