Enrichment Program

Miss Box believes that dance movement is so important for children, especially of the younger ages, as it helps build each child’s self-confidence, while developing their memorization skills.  This club will give each child an opportunity to have fun through dancing, while keeping active and learning new skills with friends! 

PLEASE NOTE: This class will only run for 7 sessions as we are closed 1/17 and 2/21.

Let’s play some games! Games are a great way for your child to learn strategy and apply math skills. We’ll learn a variety of board games and card games like checkers, uno, trouble, and sevens. We’ll even explore chess by learning how the pieces move and learning some of the basics of the game. Game Club is also a good place for your child to work on skills like taking turns, losing and winning graciously, and focusing on a game (even when it’s not their turn). 8 max

Participating students will work together, using a professional script and materials. Every student will have a role and responsibilities to help make the show a success. Our young actors will have fun and gain confidence by working on their performance skills and understanding their characters through games and various drama techniques. 

The club will begin with a group read-through of the script for the actors to become familiar with the various roles. We will then work on building confidence and understanding of audition techniques. Auditions will be held the week of January 24th. A sign-up will be emailed out to parents to choose a time slot for the audition. Every child in the club will be given a role to perform!

Rehearsals are scheduled for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The entire cast WILL NOT be needed for every rehearsal. A clear rehearsal schedule will be shared at the beginning of the program. Please be prepared to pick up your child at dismissal if they are not required to rehearse. The final performances will take place on Friday, May 13th and Saturday, May 14th.

IMPORTANT COVID PROTOCOL

We are thrilled to be able to bring back this exciting live performance opportunity to our students! Due to the fact that the spring musical is offered across the K-6 pods, and that students will be performing without masks, we have put added safety measures in place. Please note that in order to participate in the musical, students are required to be fully vaccinated OR provide the school with two negative covid tests per week. Unvaccinated students must be tested on Mondays on their own and on Wednesdays during our weekly screening at school. Home rapid tests are not permitted. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in our efforts to keep our students and faculty healthy. We will be watching the COVID risk level carefully, and will make safety adjustments as needed.

You may have Pokemon cards lying around your house, but does your child actually know how to play the game that those cards are for? Pokemon is a trading card game that requires a lot of strategy and helps children apply math skills in a fun way. At Pokemon Club, your child will learn the rules of this exciting game, battle their friends with the decks they build, and even get some new cards. You don’t need any cards to get started. We will provide one starter deck at the beginning, and members will receive a booster pack every other week to enhance their deck. Gotta catch ‘em all! (no limit on how many can join) Club price includes a materials fee
