Club News Finds a New Home: SGA Club Bulletin Board
A new bulletin board for all of the clubs to use is here! The Upper School administration introduced this new method of communication to combat the random club posters previously littered around the school. This comes as an effort to make club announcements more organized and accessible. The board is located on the first floor of the Upper School building, near the college counseling offices. It aims to serve as a central hub for all club updates, events, and announcements, and has captivated the attention of many students.
Senior Cooper Sabloff, the club coordinator of the Student Government Association, explained that the idea for the board came from a mix of student input and administrative planning. “I think the administration wanted to have a little more organization, especially with all the flyers around the Upper School,” Sabloff said. “Having one board means all the information will be in one place and easier to find.”
Under the new system, clubs can reserve space on the board for three weeks at a time before rotating. The goal is to keep information current while giving all clubs, large and small, a fair chance to display their events.
Some students see the change as bittersweet. Sabloff noted that while the board will make things neater, it may also alter the building’s character. “Posters added to the school’s personality,” he said. “Taking them down might make it feel less lively, but it will definitely make things more organized and reliable.”
Junior Shai Paransky, Video Game Club president, agrees that the board is a positive step, though not without drawbacks. “It’s a great integration of ideas, having space for all clubs to use,” he said. “But having to reserve space and the three-week limit might slow things down a bit.”
Paransky also addressed the new rule limiting posters on walls, which has been a part of school culture for years. “I think part of the reason they removed flyers was actually a facilities issue. Tape was taking off paint,” he explained. “You can still put things on teacher windows with permission, so there’s still some flexibility.”
Despite mixed feelings, Sabloff and Paransky agree that the board represents progress in how the school communicates club news. “It’s absolutely a step in the right direction,” Paransky said. “It gives smaller clubs more visibility and creates a centralized space for ideas, instead of a bunch of scattered flyers.”
Students can already see announcements for a range of clubs and events, proof that communication at the school has entered a more organized era.
