In order to share their interests about the weather, the Meteorology Club is planning weather based activities and announcements to teach students and staff about their passion.

The club is looking for two additional board members, a secretary and social media manager, as well as regular members to attend their club meetings.

“Anyone who is interested [can join],” adviser Jessica Kelly said. ”If you’re the type of person to hear or see rain and get excited, or if you tracked the hurricane that came through, those are the types of people that should join the club.”

The club started after three friends came together with an idea to teach and learn about the weather.

“I’ve been interested in weather for most of my life, and [I would] research and look at different graphs,” Club President Brian Price said. “I used to watch the Weather Channel every day during COVID, and it’s something I am really passionate about.”

The club has started applying for grants and scholarships, as well as making plans to set up a weather balloon and start a school garden.

“I hope that the garden gives something for everyone to look forward to every day,” Price said. “It would be a beautification of the environment instead of just seeing dirt patches around here, and we could see the progress of different crops growing.”

One of the main goals for the club is to spread more knowledge about skills, such as how to tell the weather and how to relate it to agriculture and gardening.

“We want to give more awareness and information on the weather as we approach more and more problems, and we will be doing activities based on the information we look at,” Financial Weather Keeper Maximillan Miguel Aller said. “By doing this we can also teach people how to cultivate crops in the garden.”

The members hope that their passion pushes other students to share their passions with the school. 

“It’s something pretty cool and encouraging for everybody,” Price said. “It could even inspire everyone else to start something for their own passions and expand their ideas to share their knowledge.”
