Second Semester Activities Fair

On Thursday, Feb. 18, SLUH held a second Activities Fair in the Danis Field House during eighth period. While the Activities Fair usually takes place at the beginning of the first semester, it was replaced this year with an Activities PowerPoint. To make up for the loss of this popular event, club leaders gathered in the Field House on Wednesday to showcase their clubs. Clubs were lined up in a circuit through the Field House so that students could interact with club members and learn about clubs in a Covid-safe way. The event was required for freshmen and sophomores, and all attendees received a Pretzel Boys pretzel at the end of the fair.

Robotics Update

In spite of the pandemic, the SLUH Robotics team is continuing on unfazed. Aside from all of the various Covid regulations, the main difference between this year and years past is that the FIRST Robotics Competition, through which SLUH competes, decided not to release a new game format for this season. With no specific guidelines from their governing body on what specifically to work on, the Robotics team has decided to focus on refining their robot from last year. Though no events have taken place so far due to the pandemic, SLUH is currently preparing for a virtual event through the FRC called Infinite Recharge at Home, which will occur sometime in the coming weeks.
