Art Club
Have you ever wanted to draw, sculpt, paint, or just hang out after school to create? If so, Art Club is the club for you! Here at Wainwright Middle School, art club is an organization where students can work together on projects and other interests in art. We will participate in school and community projects and create with one another. Students who have a keen interest in art should consider participating to increase their artistic abilities. We will meet after school from 3:05-4:00 on dates to be determined by Mr. Moody.
FACS Club

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI)
The Wainwright student diversity, equality, and inclusion group meets to discuss and implement items related to being inclusive of all students. Topics of diversity, equality, and inclusion are discussed and ideas are shared in order to continue to grow and improve our inclusive environment. The student diversity, equality, and inclusion serves as an opportunity for students to lead the conversation and provide suggestions for improvement. The group typically meets once a month during the school day. Any student interested should see Mrs. Lamb.
