ZineFest 2023
Members of our Zine Club traveled to Richmond with Olchar to attend ZineFest, where our students could sell or trade the zines they’ve created here at school.
Blacksburg Zine Fest ’22
Seven students from the CHS Zine Club shared little books by themselves and past members at the first Blacksburg Book and Art Fair. They mingled with other members of the SW Virginia publishing & art community and distributed scores of zines, including a set purchased for the zine collection of the Hollins University library.
Below can find links to some of the Gristle Butter publications created by our students.
The group thanks the students, parents, and faculty who stopped by to say hello!
Zine Fest!
Olchar gave his CHS Zine Club students their first opportunity since quarantining began to meet other zine makers, as well as learn about and become involved in the broader zine community.
The group worked a booth to sell and trade their zines at the brand-new Blacksburg Zine Fest (officially “Art & Book Fair”).
Olchar also worked a table for Monocle-Lash Anti-Press.

Ant Restaurant
Ant Club opened a restaurant with a variety of courses and they observed the ants to see which foods they preferred.
ComMUN Back To In-Person Camp!
ComMUN hosted its fourth annual summer training conference in June. 8 members of this year’s Secretariat were CHS students; of those eight, six were a part of the first ComMUN camp and five were in the group that designed the camp during their Seminar year at Community School. The camp hosted almost twenty delegates this year and the topic was on Decolonization of Africa. The Secretariat runs almost everything at camp– they decide on the topic, research and write the background guide, organize the schedule for the week, teach lessons, and moderate all committee sessions.
