January, AKA Veganuary
Veganuary is a non-profit organization that encourages people worldwide to try vegan for January and beyond. Millions of people have signed up for their one-month vegan pledge since 2014, and in 2023 alone more than 1,610 new vegan products and menu options were launched in their key campaign countries.
Throughout the year, Veganuary encourages and supports people and businesses alike to move to a plant-based diet as a way of protecting the environment, preventing animal suffering, and improving the health of millions of people.

Ski and Snowboard Club
Interested in skiing or snowboarding? If so, the Ski & Snowboard Club wants to see YOU on the slopes with them! No experience necessary! The first field trip of the season was on Saturday, January 20th, to Little Switzerland in Slinger, WI. There will be more field trips in February and March. Contact Ms. Cobo (West) or Mr. Leu (East) to learn more about the field trips & get all of your questions answered.
NEW Student Activities Calendar!
The Student Activities webpage continues to improve! Now you can view a month-at-a-glance calendar and see when and where West Leyden's clubs are meeting. You can also get there from the Leyden website > Activities and Arts > Clubs - West > Activities Calendar. Now there's even less reason to not get involved. Check off one of your New Year's resolutions as 'done' by going to a club meeting this month!
