POLISH CLUB The Polish culture is a heritage full of rich traditions, fantastic legends, and an eloquent language. Polish Club takes each of Poland’s diverse regions and combines them to teach the students of Guerin Prep Polish cuisine, customs, and history of the motherland. One does not have to be Polish to experience the delight of our culture. We welcome everyone, and seek to instill a lasting impression of pride in every member. Our mission is to educate the students about the social, political, and economic problems in Poland and compare them to other countries. Throughout the school year, students will be asked to participate in charity events that will help benefit the less fortunate members of Polish society, and become more knowledgeable on various topics. Each member is expected to contribute to the club in a positive way; whether it be bringing in samples of Polish cookies, or sitting outside the cafeteria to sell the cookies. Not one deed is too small to be recognized. We hope to expand our club in the near future, and once again welcome everyone! Do zobaczenia! RUNNING CLUB The leaders of the running club will change hands daily. The upper classmen will take charge initially with group warm-ups and stretching, as they have more knowledge in what to do. As time goes on the new comers to Running Club are welcome to be the leader for the day. The Idea of Running Club is to keep the athletes who are not competing in winter sports in good physical shape. Students who want to get into shape but are not athletes may also join. The Running Club promotes exercise and healthy living styles. It gives students the tool of knowledge about making healthy decisions in the future. It also is a great place to make new friends and to discover hidden talents. Students who do not compete or play in a spring sport usually continue running and working out with the track team even if they do not compete.
