At Memorial School, we encourage students to be creative and pursue their interests.  The Sci-Fi Club provides students with an outlet to discuss their love of Popular Culture in an open, friendly environment with peers who share the same interests.  Despite the name of the Club, we are not limited to only those with an interest in Science Fiction, but also Super Heroes, comic books, and adventure based characters & stories.  Members will create projects & stories based on these subjects.  We will also view classic superhero cartoons & clips from popular Science Fiction movies.  Overall, this will be a place to both have fun and make new friends.

 

“The Sci-Fi Club is really fun!  You should join it.  May the Force be with you!” - Harrison Hallerman, Class of 2017

 

“In the Sci-Fi Club, we discuss new movies and play games; it’s fun for guys and girls!” - Shannon Lewis, Class of 2018

 

Any students at Memorial School is eligible to join the Sci-Fi Club.  Students must attend at least six meetings throughout the year to be considered members in good standing.

 

The Sci-Fi Club meets nearly every Friday from 2:30 to 3:15.  Members are expected to attend as many meetings as possible, and come ready to have fun, share stories, and be creative.  Despite the club’s name, we are not limited only to those who like Star Wars & Star Trek, but also comics and superhero's, and any of the popular adventure novels and movies of the past & today.
