LEADERSHIP AND CLUBS AT OPEN WINDOW

A place to lead, create, and connect 
 


 

Middle school at Open Window is full of opportunities for students to step into leadership, pursue their passions, and try something new. Middle school students at Open Window find many ways to take initiative, build community, and explore their interests. 

Our leadership groups and clubs offer space for students to contribute ideas, collaborate with others, and practice new skills in meaningful ways. Leadership at Open Window is active and intentional. Students help plan assemblies, run community events, support younger peers, and guide projects that matter to them. 

These roles are part of how students learn to speak up, listen well, and take responsibility in a collaborative setting.  Leadership groups meet regularly throughout the semester, giving students time and structure to work toward shared goals. 

These are just a few examples: 
 

  • Bobcat Times: Write, edit, and publish the school newspaper 

  • Buddies: Mentor younger students through buddy programs and recess support 

  • Girls Who Code: Build coding skills while designing projects with impact 

  • Community Problem Solvers: Identify and address real issues in school life 

  • Crafting for Change: Create handmade items for local organizations 

  • Bee Team: Research, plan, and create campus beehives 

  • Assembly Leadership: Set the agenda, run tech, and host middle school assemblies 

  • Green Team: Lead efforts in sustainability and environmental awareness 

If students don’t see a group that matches their interests, they’re encouraged to start one.

CLUBS THAT REFLECT STUDENT INTERESTS 

Clubs change each semester based on what students are excited about. Some are teacher-led, others are student-run. All are built around shared interests, creativity, and connection. 
 

Recent clubs include: 
 

  • Dungeons & Dragons 

  • Imagine Truthfully (theater and improv) 

  • Snacks & Shenanigans 

  • Geoguesser Club 

  • Embroidery 

  • Star Wars Club 

  • Blender & Godot programming 

  • Math Circle 

  • Band/Music

Some clubs are just for fun, others are skill-based. Some are both. What they have in common is student ownership and the freedom to try something new.

WHY IT MATTERS 

Through leadership and clubs, students gain practice in collaboration, decision-making, and follow-through. They build confidence by doing real work in a supportive environment. They learn how to work with others and see the results of their effort in the life of the school.
