Student Engagement at Lunch
New this year are the intramural sports offered by the YMCA. YMCA Youth Staff come twice a week to help students participate in organized sports. Upwards of a couple hundred students a day choose to join in. Our PTSA has also given several additions to the lunch activities choices. They paid for materials for our Industrial Tech class to build some bean bag games that are brought out to the lawn daily. PTSA also purchased many different types of equipment for students to check out such as basketballs, footballs, and soccer balls. Lastly, a variety of board games and card games were purchased for student use in the Media Center.
This year we are proud to have over 20 student-led clubs that mostly meet during lunch as well. You will find these clubs in the building working on a variety of interests.
If you have other ideas of things students can do during lunch, we are always open to suggestions from our community.
YMCA Intramurals We are so excited that many students who are typically not engaged in clubs or other activities find the YMCA as a way to connect! | Library Games Uno! Thanks to the PTSA, we have a variety of games for students to check out in the library-media center. | ASB Sponsored Activities Another great way for students to get involved is through ASB games at lunch. The leadership skills that the ASB students gain is wonderful as well. Here are students participating in the fruit roll-up eating contest. |

Are you a Taster? Students in Mrs. August's science class experimented with PTC strips to learn if they have the trait of "taster" or "non-taster." | Small Group Instruction Students in Ms. Smith's math classes get help in many different ways. One way is that she divides up her students based on current needs and teaches groups of 5-8. Students get a lot of teacher attention with this method. | Taking Data 6th Grade students in Mr. Shapland's class worked in teams to learn about the scientific process. They talked about hypothesis, gathering data, and independent, dependent, and control variables. |
