School is hard. And yes, so are rocks. But, there is one obstacle that all Newark Academy students come across. What is this obstacle you ask? It’s not Alby the dog, nor is it finding a way to connect your computer to the printers in the library, it is the mere task of getting involved.

Lucky for you, the Club Fair of 2013 holds great promises.

Jared Gillman Fan Club

Backgammon Team

Also known as the JV Chess team.

NACFTN

Newark Academy’s Club For The Nude was founded during Cross Country season 2012. If you have ever seen them practice, you would understand why many of the team members are proud to call themselves leaders of the club. These young men and women found love and peace in running in their “birthday suit”. Here, the three proudly illustrate the NACFTN spirit.
