D AND D IS FUN FOR ME
Are you perhaps a little lonely? Do you really like D&D and want some new party members? Do you want to be a part of some chaos with some fellow students? Then the solution is here! It’s just a few steps into the J-building and it’s called Gamers Club.
Greenway has a massive and expansive amount of extracurricular activities offered on campus. From the intense and blood pumping sports teams to join, or the perplexing engineering going on in the robotics club, but all of these clubs can seem a bit overwhelming to someone new to the whole idea of âdoing extra stuff after school.â A fabulous way to ease yourself into this other side is with the Gamers Club. Itâs being sponsored by your local Freshman/AP English teacher Ms. Cannaday, with the club going strong for about 8-ish years.
To get a general idea of what this place is all about, Cannaday describes it as âChaos⌠I simply reign over itâ with the club being very open about what goes on there. That is just one of the aspects she enjoys, since it allows kids to be âfree to structure their own free time.â
Further agreeing was Junior Ethan Phaosihavong saying that âItâs really fun, thereâs not really a goal to accomplish here.â Not having some goal to accomplish isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s what the club excels at. It is the equivalent of a nice calm nook for you to come and simply let loose or further mellow out.
The club strives at being very relaxed with Senior Alfonzo Felix and Freshman Mathias Mill describing the club as chill and relaxed respectively. You can even potentially find a new interest with all the different things going on in the one club. The people there are more than likely open to you joining in with whatever is going on if you feel interested in it, with Sophomore Kayden Walker saying that âItâs pretty fun, people just doing their own thing, you can involve yourself if you want to.â
However, don’t simply assume that since this is a laid back club that the sponsor is simply there to babysit. In fact, Cannaday has some gaming interest herself with her loving Dungeons and Dragons when she was younger, so she is excited with it beginning to gain popularity once again. Overall D&D is pretty popular in the club, so if you want an outlet for that, this is the place!
And she is quite the supportive sponsor too, generally speaking, âIf the club wants something, Iâll get it for themâ said Cannaday. An open club where you structure what you want to do, and that has plenty of people to talk to and meet, you could potentially meet a best friend here since you share that connected interest. On top of that, you arenât restricted to whatâs inside the room, as Cannaday said that plenty of kids will bring their own cards or even board games. From my personal venture during club hours, some students brought Nintendo Switches, itâs practically its own free country in terms of what youâre gonna do in there on that day. This excellent club meets every Tuesday after school, so if youâre interested, head over to J-103. It genuinely seems really nice there, all the vibes from the lovely people interviewed were all chill and awesome. If you still arenât convinced, just try it, Cannaday calls it âthe most laid back club, ever.â

I really liked that at the start it asked me questions and make me wonder what was D&D about.
Brisney Ibarra • Oct 28, 2022 at 3:46 pm
It really grab my attention on how D&D play games and can also do their own thing.

I really liked the pictures because it shows students having a good time in the club.

Great lead, it truly grabs the reader’s attention.
Daanika Curiel • Oct 27, 2022 at 4:16 pm
I love the inclusion of not only the club member’s perspectives, but also the sponsor’s thoughts on the club. It shows that everyone is having a good time in the club.

I really liked the beginning of the story because it made me want to continue reading.

I like how you describe what you’re getting into with this extra currilcular activity
Aaron Bingham • Oct 27, 2022 at 4:06 pm
I like the descriptive words he uses within the text it engages a reader more and more and you kind of get sad there wasn’t more to it.

“The club strives at being very relaxed with Senior Alfonzo Felix and Freshman Mathias Mill describing the club as chill and relaxed respectively.” It shows me the students really like the clu.
Eliseo Gonzalez • Oct 27, 2022 at 4:05 pm
I really liked the introduction of the text and it actually caught my interest because it actually got me thinking while reading.

Your story was great. I feel like other school clubs don’t get the recognition that they should because everybody is focused on sports, so I think writing about the gamer’s club will draw a lot of attention & more people will want to sign up.

I love how nicely the quotes fit Ms. Cannaday.

“And she is quite the supportive sponsor too, generally speaking, âIf the club wants something, Iâll get it for themâ said Cannaday. An open club where you structure what you want to do, and that has plenty of people to talk to and meet” The comfort and supportiveness is really shown in this article and it is a great perspective into this club

All you have to do is put yourself out there and find something you wold enjoy.

Something that i noticed is how much detail was included and every single picture represents them enjoying this activity that they are in.
Lucy Longo • Oct 27, 2022 at 3:58 pm
I love Ms. Cannadays quotes it emphasizes her personality and shows how close her and D&D are.
Adriana Sparks • Oct 27, 2022 at 3:57 pm
I love how the quote you chose for Cannaday is so descriptive of her own personality. I can hear her saying âChaos⌠I simply reign over itâ in my head while I read it.
Jessica Hodges • Oct 27, 2022 at 3:56 pm
I loved the light hearted writing style. The quotes were actually pretty funny too! Specifically when Ms. Cannaday says, “Chaos⌠I simply reign over itâ
Akhil Choda • Oct 27, 2022 at 3:49 pm
I like your introduction because it directly appeals to someone that might be interested in D&D club.
