Clubs

As members of Ma’ayanot’s a cappella group, students develop their singing voices while honing in on their music appreciation skills. Students learn how to read sheet music as they practice songs to be performed at school events throughout the year, such as the Chanukah and End-of-Year Banquets.

Aerobics Club offers students the opportunity for physical activity in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Students learn to safely and effectively improve their physical fitness and muscle tone through step-by-step instruction and guidance.

Ma’ayanot’s Book Club is a student-initiated project whose purpose is to introduce students to literature beyond what they read in class. Every month, students select a book, and that book is discussed at the following month’s meeting. Student leaders conduct the meeting and lead the discussions, which focus on various literary themes. The Book Club meets once a month during lunch.

Clay Jewelry Club gives students an opportunity to work with and master various polymer clay techniques. Through learning the skills of clay molding, they create various decorative canes, which will be used to create beautiful beads for their jewelry. They also decorate assorted objects such as pens and candle votives.

In Clothing Construction Club, members learn how to create and construct clothing, from the initial cutting of the fabric to the design details once the article of clothing is already sewn. By the end of each semester, the participants are skilled in using a sewing machine and have created a piece of clothing that they can wear and enjoy.

Students learn the skills of adult, child, and infant CPR. Every student is required to participate in the CPR club one semester in order to graduate.
 

Dance Club is a student-run troupe that works to create choreographed dance routines. Members of the Dance Club improve their technical dance skills while using their own creativity. The students perform throughout the year at various school events and participate in interschool competitions.

Drama Club aims to teach acting in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Techniques such as improvisation, mirroring, pantomime, and movement games are used to teach character development, posing, sensory awareness, and communication skills. Drama Club members participate in the annual school play. Non-actors are involved in technical elements of production, such as sound, costume design, lighting, scenery, and stage management.

Hockey Club allows students to engage in athletic activities and learn skills specific to the sport, without competing in an athletic league. Many students enjoy their experience in Hockey Club so much that they later choose to join the hockey team.

Ma’ayanot is pleased to offer its students the opportunity to showcase their acting, singing, and dancing talents through Musical Comedy Club. The club works through the year toward the production of a full-length musical show. Students develop their natural talents and learn new skills related to costume and design, lighting, choreography, and staging.

Students in Photography Club learn how to use a camera to take clear and artistic photographs. They compile these original photographs to be collected into a photobook, “Focus on Ma’ayanot,” that is produced at the end of the school year. The book is organized into eight sections: Ma’ayanot academic life, religious life, sports, activities, people, the building, the campus, and the town.
