Club Description & FAQs

Mission Statement: The club will provide a welcoming, supportive, and safe environment for members to foster their interests in fiber arts or their appreciation for reading while making new friendships.

Club Description: This is a club where you can relax, chat, and craft or read. The club gives students the time and space to interact with others who share an interest in needlework or reading. There will even be times where our needlework crafting overlaps with our reading!

Members that are crafting may branch off into their own projects, work collaboratively with a friend, or participate in monthly group projects. It is welcoming to students who already know a fiber art or are just beginning. 

Our readers are welcome to read any club day and are encouraged to share their love of reading with others. Students may self organize small group reads, and take the time to pick their next read during club time.

Meeting Location: OCHS Library

  • During OC Block Wednesday's, Thursday's, & Friday's
