Extracurriculars

Students build engineering skills as they work in teams or individually to design, test, redesign, retest, and eventually create a working arcade-type game. Students will consider game design, rules for playing, and prior science knowledge when designing their arcade games.

Come sing with us! We meet Friday mornings from Aug - Dec and work on singing together with excellence. Open to all 3rd - 5th grade students.

Students get to... 

1. Design, build and program LEGO Mindstorms robots to complete challenging missions on a themed playing field.

This is an engineering program where students work individually to design, test, and modify 4 tools that interact with air - kites, parachutes, paper airplanes, and simple rockets. Students learn about the basic principles of flight and design when creating each of these tools.

At Girls on the Run we inspire ALL girls to build confidence and make intentional decisions, while fostering care and compassion for self and others. Trained coaches use physical activity and dynamic discussions to build social, emotional and physical skills in every girl while encouraging healthy habits for life.

We are one of 8 campuses that offers this program! It focuses on "Engaging Girls in Engineering '' through the implementation of the Engineering Design Process, the presenting of weekly STEM challenges, and by providing an encouraging environment for the girls to be engineers. The goal is to impact our students by helping them build the confidence and capability to realize they have what it takes to  design, create and  improve different aspects within our world.
