By AUSD Digital Communications Intern Sarah Wang Walking through the halls at lunch, students at Arcadia High School pass various clubs with specific objectives for the student body. Of the new clubs granted charters this year, right after being given the green light, Arcadia High’s Unity Through Poetry club has already made a profound impact on students. Club members gather every Tuesday to connect and discover the various ways poetry can be used as a conduit to self-discovery.
“The objective of this club is to diversify the amount of creative outlets students have for self-expression,” explained the club’s Vice President and senior at Arcadia High School Christine Liu. “In a school heavily based in science and math, Unity Through Poetry strives to offer students more opportunities to explore a possible passion they might have.”

Visually impaired students at Longley Way Elementary School (Longley Way) are given the opportunity to apply their unique learning styles and abilities in the classroom. Longley Way’s Megan Robinson, Special Education teacher for the visually impaired, makes it possible for her students to develop their strengths, helping them learn and discover school-material in their own way. “This class consists of low-vision students (i.e. students whose acuities measure 20/200 or worse) and non-sighted students (blind), and they range between the 1st and the 5th grade of school,” explained Robinson. “The Arcadia program [for the visually impaired] in elementary school goes at least back to [the year] 1956 and originally started in Bonita Park Elementary School,” said Robinson, who learned the background information of the program from her predecessor Betsy Belknap. |
