  • ACTIVITIES / CLUBS
     
    Art Club: This club encourages creativity through a variety of activities and projects, above and beyond the regular curriculum. Art Club will meet a minimum of 10 times per year. Activities will be based on student interest and can vary drastically from year to year. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in Art exhibitions, critiques, service projects and field trips throughout the year.
     
    Book Club: This club encourages a student’s interest in reading and book discussion using both print and electronic texts. Literary and informational texts as well as memoirs, graphic novels, and other relevant new releases are read and elucidated every three weeks. Lively discussions will increase a student’s fluency, comprehension skills, and public speaking ability. Students will also come away with the understanding that the social impact of books on their lives is both personal as well as global. Students have the option to purchase any title that they may want to add to their personal book collection.
     
    Choir: An extension of the Chorus featuring groups singing in four or more parts, the choir performs at school functions and occasional festivals.
     
    Diversity: The Diversity Club is a student centered club that meets at least once a month. Our main goal is to make everyone aware of the diversity that exists in society today. We are guided with the belief that everyone is equal and deserves to be treated with respect. We work closely with other clubs and organizations to spread the ideas of acceptance. It is a wonderful supportive environment where students have a voice. Students can sign up just by coming to a meeting and as long as they are willing to help in any capacity they are considered members. We are always welcoming new members and hope that one day our beliefs of acceptance and equality are shared by all. 
     
    Drama Productions: Students have the opportunity to participate in four theatrical productions throughout the year. Del Val offers a Fall Play and a Winter Musical. The fourth and final production is the annual Performing Arts Night of Shorts, a one-act festival consisting of student-directed, student-run short plays. Other than the Performing Arts Night of Shorts (which is limited to students enrolled in those courses), all students are eligible to participate in these activities, which include acting, stage crew, organizing prop and costumes, and participating in set and lighting design.
     
    Environmental Club: This club is for the student that is concerned with the environment. They have begun to distribute recycling boxes in classrooms to collect paper for recycling. Other projects will include environmental issues.
     
    Games Club: The NEW DVRHS Games Club meets regularly throughout the school year to provide students the space and opportunity to play various board, card, and role-playing games, and of course have fun! Through cooperative and competitive games, students develop communication and social skills in a welcoming environment. In addition, we work with other school groups to organize unique events and fun, interactive experiences. We look forward to seeing you at our tables- dice, cards, or character sheets in hand!
     
    Key Club: The Key Club is a community-based organization of student volunteers who are dedicated to service in the school, family, community, county and also to international causes. Activities include NORWESCAP Food Drive, Trick or Treat for Unicef, and the March for Babies. Students are engaged in many other activities and events as well.
     
    Literary Magazine: The literary magazine is an annual publication of Delaware Valley Regional High School. Artwork, prose, poetry, and other writing are submitted by the student body to the magazine staff. The club’s main responsibilities are the solicitation, review, selection, organization, and production of the literary magazine. At the time of the magazine’s release, the club also organizes a “release party” to honor the writers and artists published in that year’s book. This is predominantly completed in the second semester of the school year.
     
    Marching Band: There are various opportunities for the instrumental music student at Del Val. The basis for the entire program is the Concert Band, which is the only ensemble offered as a class. The Golden Regiment is the Marching Band and is probably the most visible group in the department, performing at football games, parades, contests, and civic functions. The Golden Regiment, an extracurricular activity, is open to all students in grades 8-12.

    Peer Leadership/Peer Mediation: This group is made up of upperclassman and is designed to help incoming students adapt to their new school. This program is also designed for all peer leaders to be role models in school as well as the community at all times. The application window is open only to the sophomore class and is announced via email.

If selected, the student and their parent/guardian must sign, and the student must abide by the code of conduct. 
      
    Ski Club: The first 5 Thursdays of the new year students are transported by charter bus to Blue Mountain Ski Area. The options of skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing are available. Lessons and equipment rentals are also available. The mountain is 1 hour and 15 minutes away. We arrive back to Del Val by 10:00 pm. If you have never skied or snowboarded before, then opportunity is knocking. Give it a try. If you have done it before, then join us on Thursday nights and have an awesome time.
