The annual Elective Fair took place on February 18 in the New Gym during a special Advisory period.

The Elective Fair was an event for students to show off elective courses to their classmates. 

“The fair was a great chance for students to learn about opportunities of electives to take for next year,” freshman Fiad Rahman said. “It was also good for students to show leadership and teach other students about the electives that they are currently taking.”

The fair was also completely student-run with elective teachers also available to answer student questions.

“The fair was a great change of events to give students a chance to leave the classroom and go learn about how many fun electives they are able to take,” freshman Yusuf Genc said.

Journalism teacher Mr. Kulenych said he was impressed by the student involvement in the fair.

“The most impactful part of the Elective Fair – this year and every year – was just how involved and enthusiastic the upperclassmen are in promoting their favorite electives,” Kulenych said. “It’s one thing for student to hear about elective opportunities, but it means more when it comes from fellow students and those conversations were happening at every table during the Elective Fait. It was great to see that communication and that student-to-student recruiting happening.”

The underclassmen in attendance were grateful for the opportunity to hear about all of the electives that Law has to offer.

“I wish the event could have lasted longer, though I am still grateful for the chance to take part in the event and learn about many of my possible future classes,” freshman Vincenzo Mannino said.

The Elective Fair allowed students to use Advisory time to learn more about the school community and some course offerings that they may not have known much about previously.

“The event took up a good amount of our Advisory time and gave me the chance to meet with my friends and look around at the classes,” freshman Marcos Tepetll said. “It was a great chance to take a break from the school day.”
