RECYCLING CLUB

Recycling club focuses on making the school aware of other environmental issues within our school, the town, the country, and even worldwide. The goal is to have students interested in environmental issues meet once a month to discuss those areas of concern, as well as activities that we can participate in within our own community. Most importantly our goal will be to promote awareness to the rest of the school using vehicles such as a bulletin board and Earth Day.

If you are interested in the environment and wish to help promote environmental awareness, recycling club is the place for you. Meetings will take place once a month on Tuesday afternoons in room 406. Listen to the announcements for the meetings and if there are any room changes. Mrs. Osborn is the advisor.

SKI CLUB

As the largest activity at Annin, with over 460 students participating, we enjoy our days in the snow, learning a new sport and being outdoors with friends.
