Bridge Club
The American Contract Bridge League is very interested in supporting the creation of a Bridge Club at Emmaus HS. They will supply all the necessary playing materials and instructors for as long as the club continues. Here is a link to Jump Start Bridge so anyone interested can get more specific information: https://www.jumpstartbridge.org/
To do this they need a faculty member to initiate the process of creating a club and then be the advisor. Please contact Mrs. Okken if interested and/or Mike Waddell [mgwaddx@gmail.com] if you have any questions.
The ACBL will pay a stipend of $350 to a teacher who is the advisor for at least 8 students a minimum of 16 hours which includes play/practice. Multiple stipends are available (up to 10!). One stipend is available for each group of 8 students with 16 hrs of participation.
Global Citizens Club
Calling all students, faculty, and staff: Global Citizens Club seeks your input and creativity!
This year’s GCC t-shirt slogan will be “Kindness speaks all languages“. We ask your input to think of and create a t-shirt design that represents this important idea. Let your mind soar. What does “Kindness speaks all languages” symbolize, look like, and represent? Create a design that SHOWS what this phrase means. Your design can be hand-drawn, done on the computer, rough or fully refined.
Get your design(s) to Mrs. Kita in room 13 or email it/them to tkita@eastpennsd.org by Monday, January 26th. If our club member members choose your design, you will get recognition and a complimentary 2026 GCC t-shirt item.
Please reach out to Mrs. Kita with any questions.
