Ways To Stay Connected at A OA
By Trinity H.
There is always a fear of trying new
things. That fear of the unexpected can hold
you back from truly enjoying where you are
in the moment. That?s what happened
during my first year at AOA. This year,
however, I decided to change that. And I
have no regrets. Whether you aren?t sure
what to expect or are just nervous to try the
activities AOA has, I encourage you to try
them. There are so many ways to meet new
people and explore new activities. There are
consistent groups that meet once a month,
including the following: The Cooking Club,
Writer?s Block, and The Blue Umbrella.
Writer?s Block:
Writer?s Block is a great place to connect
with other writers! The class meets once a
month and is taught by Mrs. Parnell. Her goal
for this group is to help teach aspiring authors
and young writers. She says that, ?As an
author, I want to share what I've learned with
students who are also aspiring writers.?
It is a fun and creative way to grow
in your writing, encourage peers, and
explore new ways to write. If you?re
debating on whether or not to join, Mrs.
Parnell encourages all those interested to
stop in. ?Anyone who enjoys writing or
wants to write better can join! Whether
you're just discovering your interest in
creative writing or have been writing
creatively for some time, we welcome
writers of all skill levels.?
The Cooking Club:
The Cooking Club is an awesome place
for all those students who love to be in the
kitchen. Whether you like to cook from scratch
or prefer to bake from a box, the cooking club
is for you. The club meets once a month and
is supervised by Ms. Escobedo. This club is
student-run with the positions of president and
