The Jonathan Law History Club is brand new to the school this year.

The club was started by history teachers Mr. Roumeles and Mr. Zuraw. The club meets on selected Thursdays after school in Room 191 throughout the year. The club is meant for students who share an interest in all things historical or having to do with social studies

“Mr. Zuraw and myself love history, politics, and social studies in general,” Roumeles said. “We wanted students at law who share those same feelings to have a club they can call their own.”

The club has more than 20 students attending the meetings, and they are planning activities such as movie afternoons, historical presentations, and possibly some field trips.

“I wanted to join the club because Mr. Zuraw and Mr. Roumeles both make their classes really interesting and they are both so fun, so I thought it would be a cool thing to do and talk about different topics,” junior Grace Wootton said.

Students are very excited for this club and cannot wait to see what is to come in the future.

“We are hoping we grow as a club and take on whatever activities and direction the students are interested in taking on,” Zuraw said.

Jonathan Law also has a brand new Computer Science Club this year.

The club is run by computer science teacher Ms. Corriveau and meets after school on Mondays in Room 125. Sophomore Neal DiBlase had the idea to start up the club.

“I really enjoy coding; it’s fun and kind of therapeutic,” DiBlase said. “It’s also what I want to do as a career and I thought it was a shame that there wasn’t anywhere to learn more.”

The club together learns various coding languages such as Python, C++, and Java. They also work on computer science related projects to help develop their skills while hanging out with like-minded people.

“I like seeing the students collaborate with each other and I love seeing their enthusiasm,” Corriveau said. “They are all so smart and motivated, it’s a great environment for creativity and big ideas.”

In the future, the club hopes to be working on projects all together, while teaching each other about computer science and programming unlike currently, where they are all learning together.
