TJ AD differs from other quiz competition teams at Jefferson. “The main difference between AD and clubs like the Science and Bio Olympiads are the range of topics that competitors are tested on. Sci Oly and Bio Oly focus on science, but AD tests on a lot more than that. It could be thought of as similar to Quizbowl, but Quizbowl focuses solely on testing knowledge, and AD has the essay, interview, and speech portions too,” junior Sameesksha Garg said.

The new 8th period club TJ Sends Love hopes to engage students in activities that help the community. “We both thought that it's really lonely to be there [hospitals] because, during that time, a lot of hospitals weren’t allowing visitors. I thought it would be really lonely to stay there for such a long time during the pandemic-- especially as a kid. So, we wanted to do something to help cheer them up,” sophomore Katelyn Chen said.
