Club rush, which is being held the week of October 7 this year, is when all the clubs at Staples get to advertise to students. Club members set up tables outside the cafeteria during all three lunch waves using posters, banners and candy to entice students to join their clubs.
Staples has over 50 clubs devoted to various purposes, from art to activism and from service to student government. See what clubs students are looking forward to.
Ben Goldschlager ’14 is an involved member of the Staples and Westport communities. He’s the president of the Model UN and Artists’ Club, the web news editor for Inklings and is involved in Debate Team, Junior States of America and Young Democrats.
Goldschlager has also spent time volunteering at the library working with the new 3D printers. He gets to train people from the ages of 7 to 60 on how to use them, and he can print things for fun and for practical reasons.
“We have a bookcase at my house that uses these little plastic pins to support the shelves,” Goldschlager said, “but we’d lost two, so I designed and printed two replacement pins and they work.”
After writing his favorite piece, “5 Ways to Seem Like You Get Pop Culture” last year, Goldschlager is excited to come back for a second year of reporting for Inklings.
