What’s a “staffulty sponsor” and what do they actually do?

At The Bay School, “staffulty” is the clever name for the staff and faculty who support all aspects of student life, including clubs. A staffulty sponsor is an adult on campus who helps guide and support a student-run club without taking over. They assist with logistics like scheduling meeting spaces, managing supplies, and making sure things follow school guidelines. They might offer advice, help with event planning, or simply be there to listen when a new idea is brewing. Sponsors are there to keep things on track, not to lead the club themselves. Their goal is to empower students to take ownership while offering a steady hand in the background.
