    Diversity Club

    Diversity Club meets to learn about, discuss, and embrace diversity in all forms. We promote respect, acceptance and a positive culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging in our school and community. We spend time talking about the history of various groups and ethnicities unique to the Omaha area, the Civil Rights Movement, and current events around the world.  We venture out into the community with field and/or service trips such as Film Streams, Open Door Mission and UNO. We look to expand these opportunities as new ideas and inspiration come along. Everyone belongs in Diversity Club.

    Drug Free Club

    Have you ever wondered what you would do if someone asked you to try drugs or drink alcohol?  The Drug Free Club can help you make the right decision!

    In this program you will learn how to say no to drugs with unique activities. You will also learn what would happen to you if you decide to try drugs. This is a fun way to help in the future to say no when your friends or anybody else is trying to get you to be involved with drugs.
