As Andy Warhol said “Art is a private club that anyone can join” so we want to make sure that we’re always inclusive, that no one feels turned away, so they can do art, or they can learn to do art if their schedules and courses don’t allow time for it, so we want everybody to feel included and make sure there is something for every student. Isaac: What kinds of students do you think would like to join Art Club?

Most kids have either wanted to draw or paint, but as we’re rebuilding after the pandemic we’d like to slowly introduce more things, like spray painting, leather working, things of that nature to increase the interest in the club. Tinsley: We’re actually starting our first Art Club meeting this Thursday, but what we’ve done in the past is try to get a sense of what kids would like to do. Isaac: Can you give us the rundown of what happens at a typical Art Club meeting? Tinsley was able to tell me the basics of Art Club.

Despite not having had their first meeting yet, Mr. Mark Tinsley, an art teacher at our school who’s in charge of Art Club for this upcoming school year. This has proven to be a hard decision for students, so I decided to research clubs and activities so that you can best decide how you want to spend your extra 30 minutes of school time.

During this time students are invited to visit teachers to get more individual help, join a club, or get extra time to practice their sports. Raider Time takes place four days a week in a 30 minute block of time after fifth hour, from 2:10 to 2:40. While all these changes will take some time to get used to, the change that many students find themselves thinking about the most is the new Raider Time schedule. Some of these changes include, the addition of a new wing to the school, and a complete remodel of another, two new commons areas, and two graduating classes of students who have never even been in the building. The start of the new school year earlier this month marks the first time the entire RAHS student body has been in the same building since before the COVID-19 pandemic, and needless to say there have been some pretty significant changes around the school.
