PTA Sponsored clubs and Activities

Our PTA has some fantastic clubs and activities your students can join. Each club is led by a parent/teacher volunteer chair and clubs are held right after school. Details are listed below and how to register or signup! 

 

ALL CLUB REGISTRATION IS OPEN

CHESS CLUB

 

This is a parent run activity, if your child is in Kinder, 1st or 2nd grade, a parent or guardian must attend each meeting. If your child is in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade, please choose 2 dates you are able to volunteer (via Signup Genius form coming).     

 

Students who sign up for Chess Club will meet on Mondays to play other students competitively and for fun.  It’s a great place for those new to the game to learn and those returning to Chess Club to improve their game.  There is a small fee that will give students a membership to the Chess Kids app on their school devices and a t-shirt.

RUNNING CLUB

 

Students in Kinder, First, and Second need a parent chaperone at each meeting.  

 

Running Club helps build a foundation for a healthy lifestyle! Meetings give kiddos a chance to burn energy while spending time with friends. Regular physical activity can improve academic outcomes, self esteem, and overall well-being.  Kids can challenge themselves to run more laps each meeting. Top finishers will earn a medal. The last meeting will end with cold treats!

                                                                        

Grades: K-5

Meeting Days: Fridays (random through the year - see PTA Calendar)

Time: 3:10pm to 3:50pm

Registration Fee: $25

Chairs: Andrea Keyes and Nicole Gussis
