Students at Jonathan Law recently started a Bowling Club.

(Don’t worry, this article will spare the details.)

The club had its first meeting on February 16 after school.

“I wanted to start a Bowling Club here at Law because it seemed like an easy way to encourage anyone in the Law community to have a good time and learn or perfect their bowling skills,” Bowling Club President Katie Servas said. “We originally created this club during gym class because we enjoyed the activity during the class and how simple it was to learn while learning the mathematics behind the scoring.”

Bowling used to be a sport at Jonathan Law and Law even won a state championship in bowling back in the 1960s. Although it may not be a varsity sport anymore, this is a great way to bring it back to Law.

“I’m most excited about bowling with people and meeting new people in general,” Bowling Club Vice President Grace Hess said. “Also, (I’m excited) to run the club and to have bowling come back.”

Bowling Club is a good way for students to have fun and be active in a sports-centered club without having the same commitment level as a varsity sports team does.

“It is important to be exposed to as many lifetime fitness activities as possible and this is a great one,” Bowling Club advisor Ms. Blude said. “My 75-year-old father-in-law still bowls twice a week in leagues. It keeps your body and brain young.”

Bowling Club is also planning to go on trips to bowling alleys after school in the near future.

“We are still figuring out how we will be able to reserve lanes to bowl and the mode of transportation to get to the lanes but we also have a few ideas on fundraisers we would like to do and can’t wait to announce them when they are approved,” Servas said.

As it is a new club, the Bowling Club also plans to hold fundraisers to help fund their activities.

The Bowling Club will help bring together many different students of different backgrounds and interests together to have fun and bowl together at Jonathan Law.
