Clubs & Activities

Spring has been an active season for Soundview clubs. The Community Service Club has focused on the Pinwheel Project, an organization devoted to improving children’s hospital stays.  Students made colorful wall hangings for hospitalized children, using muslin, fabric markers and wooden dowels. In addition, club members collected “coins for kids with cancer,” as part of a community challenge to cover an entire tennis court in Rye with coins.

The sounds of a saxophone, violin, guitars and young voices can be heard across campus this spring, as Music Club members rehearse for Texas Day.  The talented student musicians have performed several times this year, most recently at the Talent Show.

The Drama Club is hoping for fine weather on June 1, when they plan to perform scenes from Our Town all around campus.

Fine weather or foul, the Outdoors Club and their faculty advisors are hard at work beautifying the campus.  The pink tulips they planted last year bloomed throughout May, and the azaleas they have been coaxing were especially lovely this year.

For New York! New York!, Ms. Hayes has taken students to the city for six walking tours this year. They have explored neighborhoods from Bowling Green to City Hall to Little Italy and took a side trip to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

Students in the Politics Club have been discussing such current issues as the political primaries and same-sex marriage.

Stand by for an exhibition of senior portraits, created in the style of Andy Warhol by members of the Art Club.

Players in the Chess Club have spent the spring matching their wits and enhancing their chess skills under the guidance of Mrs. Skidmore.

Faculty and students alike are keeping a sharp lookout for delivery of the Yearbook.  The staff and their advisors, Mrs. Kellas and Mr. Mentz, worked hard all year taking photos, writing text and laying out pages in a computer publishing program.

Creative writing and art work have been on full display this year in the first three issues of Soundview’s literary magazine.  The student editors and their advisor Mr. Euchner are at work on their fourth and final issue.
