School Clubs:

Kindergarten - 2nd grade: "Early Birds" Book Club
Encourage your child to dive into reading at an early age!
The Book Club will be exploring books in fun ways that
enhance literacy and comprehension. Plus you'll get to
meet and make new friends! Meets every other Saturday
at 9:30 a.m. at The Learning Center. Space is limited,
so stop by our office to sign up! Open to the community!

3rd grade and up: The Drama club
Have a flair for drama? Want to brush up those acting skills? Or maybe you've
got an interest in directing or doing back stage design? Our drama club is a year
long comprehensive program that will take you through stage production on all
levels. Our club director has years of theater background, and the program is
sure to be a rewarding experience for all its members. Meets every Friday at
3:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church across from our school. Space is
limited, so stop by our office to sign up! Open to the community!

7th grade and up: The Newsletter/Yearbook Committee
What teen doesn't have an opinion? Express those opinions in a way that gets
your works published! Our monthly newsletter will feature student created works
including art, feature columns, and original stories and poetry. This club is
incorporated with our school day, no sign up necessary.
