What is culture club?

            The purpose of Culture Club is to provide a wide variety of opportunities for students to experience world cultures through cuisine, art, film, theater, dance and literature. It is my hope that through this extracurricular club student will take risks and continue to break social and cultural paradigms that inhibit them from finding common ground with people and elements foreign to their way of life. It is my intention to facilitate their acculturation to world cultures, by their exposure to safe, enriching and thought provoking experiences which may be the first steps for my students to begin seeing themselves as world citizens vs. being limited only to their current experience.  Some of our past cultural events have entailed French, Jewish and Spanish Cuisine, participated in various plays such as Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. We continue to explore our local wealth of talent by attending performances such as Cleo Parker’s Holiday Dance Performances. Furthermore, we have visited our local art galleries at The Denver Art Museum, Museo de las Americas and the Santa Fe Art District. Culture, for us also entails student empowerment and personal enrichment through participation and support of local, state and national conferences such as the Annual Cherry Creek Diversity Conference, La Raza Youth Leadership Conference and others.  

Our goal is also to learn more about world religions in a cultural context. In order to better understand the human experience we have to be aware of diversity in values and beliefs of one another. We hope to continue this ongoing discussion about diversity and refine who we are through our cultural encounters.

Ms. Wray exclaims, “I cannot express how proud I am of these three and how proud I am of our high school.  While it has been my first year teaching and advising FCCLA, I never doubted these students or their ability to lead and represent our school and myself.  I had three separate judges/ event coordinators find me and tell me how proud I should be of these three, how amazing they are, and how well Jefferson was represented!!!”

With this HUGE honor, the kids will attend nationals to represent the entire state of Colorado in Nashville this summer. Thank you to everyone at Jefferson for your support and hard work.
