Over 200 students attended StuC0’s annual Clubsgiving event Wednesday, Nov. 15 in the commons. Students ate potluck style dinner and participated in Thanksgiving trivia Kahoot live, Thanksgiving-themed coloring pages and a pie eating contest.
Junior StuCo member Kenzie Johnson explains why Clubsgiving is an important event and the work that goes into it.
“Clubsgiving is an important tradition at Mill Valley because it’s an opportunity for all our clubs to get together and celebrate our involvement in our school,” Johnson said. “People had to organize registration, food sign-ups, decorations, the Kahoot and social media posts. Night of the event we showed up early to help set up and assign jobs to different people.”
Senior Sully Suderman said he appreciated some opportunities students experience at Clubsgiving.
“It’s such a cool tradition because it brings a lot of different people from different clubs together. It gives you an opportunity to interact with people you wouldn’t normally talk to,” Suderman said. “The atmosphere of the event was just very welcoming and it was obvious that everyone was having a good time.”
Johnson describes her favorite parts of the event.
“My favorite part was the Kahoot because it was funny to try and guess answers in a short amount of time with friends and the people around you,” Johnson said. “The atmosphere was very positive and lighthearted. Clubsgiving is super casual and low-key so it’s very freeing. We are just there to eat food and have fun.”
As the pie-eating contest winner, Suderman said it was an event he’ll never forget.
“My favorite part was definitely the pie-eating contest. It’s part of the Clubsgiving traditions,” Suderman said. “It was a lot of fun except that the pie was almost completely frozen. In the end I thought it was pretty funny that I won.”
