Club Day has arrived at Terra Linda once again! Every year, dozens of student-run clubs set up shop in the quad to recruit new members and educate other students about their clubs. Hundreds of TL students and staff rush outside at the lunch bell to explore all of the options. Terra Linda’s clubs are varied and unique, with each club offering different opportunities. Clubs are a fantastic way for students to make new friends across different grade levels, learn something new, or even pick up a new hobby! Some clubs, such as Jewish Student Union, Jesus Club, and Project Lit Book Club, are returning clubs, while others, like the Women in Sports Club, are new to TL this year. Clubs vary from Student Unions, to artsy clubs, to clubs focused on athletic activities, showing the diversity of TL students and their interests. Below is a list of all Terra Linda clubs! To join a club, contact a club officer or simply show up to a meeting.
- JSU-Jewish Student Union: Jewish students and allies gather to celebrate Jewish culture as well as talking about issues facing Jewish people today.
