Virtual clubs take off

After school clubs look a bit different this year at Patrick M. Villano School. They are virtual. Club leaders are teachers who hold Google Meets once a week. Students can choose clubs based on their interests in art, science, even scrapbooks.

“My favorite part about scrapbook club was seeing all of your interests and favorites,” Erin Albin said.

Albin is a special education teacher who led the scrapbook club virtually this year.

“I also loved seeing the pictures of some of you when you were younger. You change so much through the years and now that we know the wonderful students you’ve become, it’s adorable to see you all as babies & toddlers all that time ago!” Albin said.
