What is Amazing Raiders? “Amazing Raiders Club teaches students how to interact with special needs students. It bridges that gap between the students. It creates a small atmosphere for all students, it builds heathy relationships.” –co-sponsor Kailah Ramsey

Club Members: Between 20 to 30 students

Meets: During Advocate once a month and after school. Also in the ICAP room on iChoose days.
