Cardboard Appreciation Club
Cardboard Appreciation Club, started this year, is dedicated to giving students the opportunity to express their creativity through building without materialistic limits. The club founders are juniors Jackson Evans and Jordan Leeman. The two decided to start the club after realizing there was no time and place to focus their creativity and problem-solving skills outside of school.
Their goal was to create a club that was unique and gave students an opportunity to have fun and feel comfortable. According to Evans, they decided to use cardboard as their building material because it’s both affordable and reusable.
“I think [our club] is for everyone,” Leeman said. “Just having a place where you can relax, build something you can take home, you can show off to other people.”
When: Mondays during lunch
Where: Room 22 (Seagren)
Bowls of Hope
Sophomores Sam Christian, Ishan Ladhuani and Pranav Bingi are the founders of a new club: Bowls of Hope. Their goal is to help reduce malnourishment both close to home and far away. The club will orchestrate food drives to collect food for malnourished people throughout Central Texas and India. They aim to help feed the large number of people in need in these areas and publicize widespread malnutrition both globally and locally.
According to Christian, he strives to give back to the community on a international and local scale. He said that he’s most eager to start this club because he wants to create an impact in the LASA community. Participation in Bowls of Hope will include collecting and distributing food donations and generating awareness throughout the community.
“There are many malnourished people all around the world and people know about it, but they’re not really putting in much of an effort to do anything about it,” Christian said. “Through Bowls of Hope, I think we can really raise awareness in our school and actually make a difference.”
When: every other Tuesdays during lunch
Where: Room 200 (Loewenstern)
