There are many clubs offered here at PHS, however, one of the best is the Passaic Creations Club. As far as I am concerned it is one of the most amazing activities in this school.

We do a lot of fun things throughout the year such as plan, film and edit activities that are happening. This club is in charge of most of the work, because we decide what to do and how to do it. We have a lot of fun, but the best activity this year was when we went to Florida to film the Neighbor Science Competition.

To achieve the honor of going on a trip to Florida to film, students must demonstrate their capacity for work hard. It is really fun though, because we all have different responsibilities and work together the get the job done.
The Creations Club is divided into many different positions so that good quality video productions can be made. Everyone has their own job to do on any given project.

First, there are directors who organize the video project and make sure that there is a clear vision for the completed project. Next there are editors, who organize the final product and include sounds and special effects. Finally, there are actors, who are in front of the cameras, and camera operators, who are behind the cameras.

The adviser of our club is Ms. Garcia. We meet after school every Wednesday in G124.  The Passaic Creations Club was created to celebrate through videos all the positive things happening in PHS. Every month we produce the Hot Topics show for the bilingual group. This task seems to take forever, but it is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had from high school.

Joining a club does look good for college, but being part of a club is fun too. I recommend the Creations Club, because it is the one that can take us to HOLLYWOOD.  This club is comprised of freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors learning and doing their best with the camera, and other tasks. But most of all, we are learning things that may help us in everyday life. Working as part of a team and working toward a common goal builds self-esteem and self-confidence. Also, the main goal, is to create original works as a means of personal or group expression.

So, for all the budding cameramen, or a news anchors, directors, or any other members of the world of media, or those who just want to have fun using this technology, expressing themselves in video production, then come join the Passaic Creations Club.
