InterAct Club: making easy hours and friends

Time is precious. InterAct Club will save time, let students make a difference and meet new friends.

“We have about 200 students each year,” said Mrs. Kate Korchok, Spanish teacher and InterAct club adviser.

With that many people, the commonly used excuse of “I don’t know anyone” is not acceptable. Walking into a meeting that large, a familiar face is a common finding. Friends can tag along as it is easy to sign up.

“I would probably be interested in it. My sister was in it for three years” said Nicole Crone, 9.

“You don’t have to fill out an application, you don’t have to attend the meetings, all of the information is on BlackBoard. Once you have signed up you will be added to my page and receive volunteer opportunities,” said Korchok.

Students can pick and choose what events they would like to be part of. The club has accolades as well.

“It is a great club and does many great things. I was in it for three years,” said Samantha Weiss, 12.

“The club is so big I can’t sign people up for activities so they have to. All of them will have contact information so that they can contact who is in charge of that event and say ‘I’m interested’,” said Korchok.

“Then they turn they hours back into me and I keep a spreadsheet,” said Korchok.

It is as simple as that: a few meetings, making a big difference.

About the Contributor
Lauren Kurtzer, Creative Projects Director
Hi! My name is Lauren Kurtzer and I am a senior here at SHS; thus making it my fourth year in convergence journalism. Looking back on everything I learned and done in room 115, I can not believe it went by that quickly. Being on the staff of The Leaf I have picked up many skills on writing, design, and leadership that I can take to the future. I learned many of those skills through leadership positions of feature chief sophomore year; associate editor junior year, where I made sure articles are up to AP Style; creative projects director this year, I am part of a team that works on the major cover stories like the crazy election. I have written and designed for all four of our platforms. For the past three years, I have also written a sports column on every issue; I cover the morale issues of the NFL and my teams the Reds, Bengals and Buckeyes. Outside of room 115, I am the co-captain of the dance team I have been on for four years, the Flyerettes. I am also heavily involved in the Jewish community. I am the Programming Vice President for my temple’s youth group, which is a part of NFTY Ohio Valley, and the Social Action Programmer for Young Judaea Midwest youth movement. On Sundays, I am a madricha or assistant teacher at my Religious School.
