Students honored; committee approves new ping‑pong and trading‑card clubs
Summary
The committee recognized two National Merit‑commended seniors and approved two student‑led clubs—a high‑school ping‑pong club and a trading‑card game club—after brief presentations about schedules, advisors and logistics.
The Tiverton School Committee recognized two Tiverton High seniors as National Merit commended students and approved two student‑led extracurricular clubs during its meeting.
Mrs. Craven introduced Cooper Thomas and Nolan Page as commended students in the National Merit Scholarship Corporation program and presented certificates.
The committee then heard short proposals from students seeking new clubs. Nick Monahan proposed a high‑school ping‑pong club that would meet after school on late‑bus days; the school has tables and equipment available. “If I had known, I’ll just tell you, when I was in high school, we had a ping pong table in our gym,” the chair commented while members asked about schedule and supervision. The committee approved the ping‑pong club.
Silas Rodriguez presented a trading‑card game club for high‑school students that will teach and play popular card games and run monthly tournaments. Members asked about days, supervision and whether players bring their own cards; Silas said students would typically provide their own decks and the club would meet when late buses run. The committee approved the trading‑card club.
The committee also recognized Lee McCarthy for operating the Tiverton High School food pantry, which serves families of students and operates Tuesdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
