Our students are often thirsty for more. Just because the final bell rings doesn’t mean we are finished. Extracurricular programming provides exciting opportunities for our students to try new activities or delve deeper into areas of passion.
Get involved. Have fun!
Students participate in, lead, and even create school clubs based on their unique interests and talents. Our ever-changing list of dozens of clubs and activities across campus offers students abundant opportunities to explore their passions and discover new ones, and to connect and have fun with peers and faculty who share similar interests.

The Robotics team introduces STEM learning to students in grades 4-6. Students have exciting opportunities to learn how to design, build, and program Lego robots throughout the season in small teams.
During the first half of the season, students learn basic programming, as well as advanced programming of sensors to achieve a specific task. The students use both the Lego Mindstorms robot and the Sphero robot during this time.
The county competition is held in the winter months and has different challenges on competition boards for the students to gain points. During the second half of the season, students use the design process to build and program Sumobots to compete with each other. These robots are programmed beforehand and are run autonomously during two different competitions in the spring season.

Ringers is a club in which we will be learning how to play tone-chimes. After music is rehearsed, we will go on "Tour Day" and will travel around to 3 different local nursing homes to play for the residents to spread some holiday cheer. We will have our final concert that evening at a local venue to play for the community. We have so much fun playing for our community and sharing our love of music with others! This club is open to twenty-five 5th and 6th graders.
Meetings will be Tuesday afternoons from September-December from 3:30-4:30.
