Clubs at Verner took place over four Fridays during the month of April and May. Verner students participated in a club of their choice. Students were able to select their club from a variety of options such as "Speedy Sprinters", "Spanish Club", "Picasso Pals", "Friendship Bracelets" and more! Community members and parent volunteers helped lead clubs as well as the Verner teachers.
