CLUBS and SOCIALIZATION

Anime club is a space where students are encouraged to be themselves to pursue a common goal of watching anime and/or talking about anime culture. Students take turns picking anime shows and they are previewed to make sure they are school appropriate and if not, a different show will be selected.
