LZHS offers 38 clubs, anything from volunteering to language clubs. Although there are a lot of ways for students to get involved, there has not been a club that celebrates cultures from all over the world.

Until now.

A few weeks ago, sophomores Nathan Kim, Jason Czabaj, and Thomas Tran approached Libby Reimann, history teacher, with an idea for a new club that would allow students to express their culture and share it with their peers.

“We all come from our own backgrounds and we’re all proud of our own culture. It’s important to find people who are also as proud of our culture as we are,” Tran said. “If you’re interested in a certain culture, we want you to learn about it and present it to the rest of the club.”

Although Spanish, German, and French clubs dive deep into culture and language, International Club goes deeper and provides a place to explore a culture that is not as familiar, according to Tran.

“The idea behind the international club is that it gives students a forum to, twice a month, look at a culture that is not highlighted elsewhere in the school,” Reiman, international club sponsor, said. “The first Tuesday would be a presentation about food, music, entertainment, dress, and pop culture in general. Not history, but what’s happening now. The second Tuesday will be an activity from that culture.”

Anyone is welcome to join and sign up for presentations, although there is a small fee for joining that goes towards snacks. The club is “eye opening and enjoyable” and, according to Reimann, a great leadership opportunity.

“I’m super excited that they came up with the idea. I think it’s a great learning and leadership experience for them and it can be a great leadership experience for anyone because you can choose to be as involved or not involved as you want to be,” Reimann said.

The next meeting is Tuesday, April 18 which will feature an activity that is apart of the South Korean culture.
