Dear Students, This booklet contains a listing of the clubs, organizations, and activities that you can participate in during your four years at St. Francis High School. THERE ARE COUNTLESS RESEARCH STUDIES SHOWING THAT KIDS WHO ARE MORE INVOLVED IN EXTRACURRICULARS FARE BETTER IN ALMOST EVERY AREA OF LIFE! (Duckworth, 2016).

The KEY is that you join SOMETHING (even one thing), and that you follow through for at least two years. Follow through both REQUIRES and BUILDS GRIT, which can make a huge difference in how you navigate LIFE! Even if you meet with challenges, it has been proven that doing hard things teaches you to do other hard things. Let us know if you have other ideas for clubs and activities that are not listed here. You can have fun, make friends, and maybe find something you are passionate about. GET INVOLVED! Dr. Stahl Assistant Principal 3

To the Student Body, WELCOME!!!! Whether there is a back at the end of that welcome or not, we are very excited to see you all on campus. As you begin to settle in on your journey this year, there are many different tasks to think about. Your new classes and teachers, your athletic interests, and even the new friends that you will be meeting in the coming weeks. We wanted to take the time to provide you with this wonderful resource. The Student Association Sponsored Activity Booklet is your KEY to unlocking so many amazing experiences. We have so many activities, clubs, and sports for you to invest yourself in. Look through the book, ask questions, and ABOVE ALL get involved in anything that peaks your interest!! At St. Francis, it is very common to see sports athletes participating in the spring musical, and for students to excel in the classroom while also maintaining Executive Board Positions on 2-3 different clubs. St. Francis is truly a special place, and it is made that way by you!!! Get involved early and often, and never be afraid to ask questions.

Mrs. Schmidbauer and Ms. Stone Student Association Co-Moderators

Do not think of dismissal as the end of the day, but as the beginning of the best hours on campus. Our school's clubs are the building blocks of our brotherhood -- they provide a social network that the classroom just cannot imitate. Our clubs are transformative -- in my case, they produced a school-wide leader in student government from a timid freshman who wanted little to do with Saint Francis. And the friendships I made in the years between were the engine of this change, from the guys who toured the nation's capitol with Mundi Eventus, to those who crafted the morning show with WSTF-TV, or who shared delicious food with the Spanish or French clubs. In the end, these relationships are the reason why I ever aspired to real leadership, and they were the reason why it was ever possible.

One of the worst things someone can do here is regard our extracurriculars as commitments. Are relationships commitments? Are friends? Are brothers? In my experience, these four are really the same. They are experiences, and they do not carry the weight of a word like commitment, but they do carry the benefits.

So, join that club. Sign up for that field trip. Show up to that meeting after school. Make the most of your time here. The worst that could happen is that you will graduate knowing that you bought into our mantra, that you lived out your Renaissance.

Mock Draft Club Moderator: Michael Morcelle

Mock Draft Club is a club that meets to discuss the process of the NFL Draft. We get together to learn, discuss, and sometimes debate the NCAA college football prospects.

Using statistics, game film, and general football knowledge, we evaluate the college football talent and the needs of the NFL teams. We then rank the player positions as the NFL Draft approaches in the spring and make mock drafts of our own. Local media personalities will sometimes come as guest speakers to discuss the NFL combine and their own predictions. The club's year culminates on the first night of the NFL Draft with a big pizza watch party together at the school. This club focuses on learning to make good debatable arguments based on facts and statistics in a relaxed way, based on a fun, popular topic.

Mock Trial Moderator: Tim Monahan

Students in Mock Trial take part in simulated courtroom proceedings to help them learn about the roles of attorneys and counsel in our justice system. Our team receives each year's new case (criminal or civil) in December, giving us roughly 2 months to prepare before competition. Every participating team plays both sides at least once prosecution and defense –so students will need to prepare examination and cross-examination questions from both perspectives. While it might seem daunting to play lawyer at such a young age, the NYS Mock Trial competition is less concerned about who "wins" a case and more interested in students practicing performance and rhetorical skills. Our team at St. Francis also includes an attorney-coach who helps students prepare material and provides insight and guidance as to the ins and outs of the justice system.

Students accepted into the Paduan Scholars Program will be offered several challenging learning opportunities. Classes will include specially crafted assignments and enriching activities designed to enhance critical thinking skills and creativity. Paduans are expected to focus on application of concepts, analysis of issues, and recognition of cross-disciplinary connections. All freshmen candidates will be enrolled in the Honors seminar during the second semester. The course specifically addresses vital skills and strategies such as time management, organization, logic and reasoning, journal writing, library research, and technology-based presentations. The goal of the seminar is to set a course of success for students in the Paduan program, in college, and in life. Paduan Scholars will have extra-curricular opportunities available to them to prepare them for making career choices. An after school program called, “A Day in the Life Of...” offers deeper insight into the daily career experiences of different professionals. Alumni and friends of the school describe how they achieved their success and answer questions our young men might have. Students may seek out an internship in a particular field of interest. The student will receive 0.25 credits upon successful completion of the internship.

Paduan Scholars must attend special field trips. The field trips are designed to provide hands-on experiences and cultural enrichment that complement their classroom lessons across the curriculum.

WSTF-TV Moderator: Mike Messore

WSTF-TV is a club that allows students to create video art in the form of news and entertainment segments featuring daily announcements, commercials, game shows, interviews, documentaries, and skits. Originally known as the Raider News Network (RNN), the group began as a way to keep students, faculty, parents, alumni, and all other members of the St. Francis High School community informed and updated on current student and alumni achievements. In addition, the hope was to incite interest and enthusiasm for school events and to promote school spirit as we represent all members of the extracurricular and academic life of the Red Raider, all while showcasing the many talents of our students. The organization continues to grow and assume more creative and informative responsibilities throughout the school by assisting the Admissions Office and Institutional Advancement Office in recruiting students, promoting events, and creating appeals for fundraising. Currently, most members belong to Homeroom 301 and work before and after school to brainstorm, write, film, edit, and produce the shows. An elective titled Film, Advertising, and Journalism is offered to allow a more significant concentration of time and effort to produce the show and assist with other media-related tasks.

25

In 2014 we began hosting a film festival to showcase our students' more ambitious film projects, and the event serves as a final project for the elective as students plan, promote, advertise, fundraise, decorate, and create content for the event. Four awards are presented to filmmakers at the end of the festival: Best Creative Short, Best Commercial Short, Best Investigative Documentary, and the People's Choice Award.

Our goal as an organization is to include all members of the St. Francis family to participate and to showcase all that makes our school and our students excellent. We aim to unite all aspects of student life—the arts, athletics, academics, and after-school clubs—in one, ambitious venture that truly represents the work of Renaissance Men.

Yearbook (The Crusader) Moderator: Toni Lambert

We meet daily during homeroom to put together the yearbook for St. Francis High School. Students collaborate to decide the theme, various spread ideas, interview and write articles, take photos of the various events, and often attend a few special trips throughout the year.
