First Lego League Robotics Teams - These are competitive teams for 4th-8th graders, 4th graders meet on Thursdays with Mrs. Neel & Ms. Aguilar. 5th - 8th graders meet in the library from 3:50 - 5:00 pm on Wednesdays, Zoom on Tuesdays, and meet at teammates' homes over the weekend. For our students to compete at the level they desire, they need parents to step up and help coach teams outside of what the teachers are able to do. We have scrimmage/competitions on 3-5 Saturdays between October and February. The teacher-coaches for the upper grades are Dr. Popa, Ms. Crow, and Mrs. Garnica.

Basketball, Soccer, & Volleyball - These teams are for boys and girls of all ability levels. Teams are formed for differing age groups based on the league they play in. All Practices are at Sudie Williams from 3:45-5:00 pm. Students will compete against other nearby schools or through YMCA leagues. All sports teams are parent sponsored and coached.  Parents are needed to help start more teams for other sports.

GEMUN - Global Elementary Model United Nations promotes a global perspective on real issues confronting the world community today. Students research their nation, learn how the United Nations operates, create proposals, then represent their nation at a mock UN assembly run by students. Students meet after school, once a week from 3:50 - 5:00 pm, have 3 Saturday trainings scattered throughout the school year, and the culmination meeting in a 2 day assembly in May. Mrs. Hererra leads this club.

Destination Imagination - Problem-solving, teamwork, and collaboration meets theatrical interpretations in Destination Imagination. DI participants become lifelong problem solvers who are inspired to innovate creative solutions to real-world challenges quickly and collaboratively.  Students will develop self-confidence, creative and critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and team building. Students will also become risk takers and learn perseverance.  Teams will meet weekly to develop these skills and work on their chosen project.  When the competition season comes nearer, teams will need to meet more frequently and for longer periods of time. The teams are led by Mrs. Armstrong.  Parent involvement is also vital to the success of our teams.
