Looking for an aesthetically pleasing book club focused on women empowerment? We’ve got you! The Book G.A.L.S (Girls Amplifying Literature) seek to unite the girls of Castle View High School who enjoy reading and encouraging one another. As opposed to a traditional book club, which often mimics a strict classroom environment, we are aiming for a looser approach. Rather than choosing one book the entire group must read, we offer that each member picks their own book to read each month as long as it adheres to the monthly theme (i.e. Banned Books, Japanese Authors, Thrillers, RomComs, etc.). At the end of each month, we meet to discuss our book picks and talk women’s empowerment.

Esports is an ideal opportunity for students who are not necessarily interested in traditional athletics, but who want to be a part of a team and learn new skills. They also offer a unique opportunity to build connections across diverse populations; esports' openness to everyone encourages inclusion. Playing together in a shared space—whether a shared virtual space or a physical space like an esports arena—is the goal of esports, and doing so establishes community, friendship, school spirit, and a sense of belonging. Esports share many of the same benefits of traditional athletics, like sportsmanship, leadership, communication, and teamwork, without the drawbacks of travel for practices, games, and tournaments, or risk of injury.
