Chess is a
recreational and competitive strategy game of skill for two players,
where the outcome is determined mainly by mental skill, rather than by
pure chance. One benefit of games of skill is that they
are a means of exploring one's own capabilities. Games encourage the
player to look at, understand, and experience things. They teach
people lessons about themselves and possibly the world, and allow such
insights to be passed on to others. Chess is also advocated as a
way of enhancing mental prowess.
There is a flourishing movement to use
the game of chess as a tool to aid the intellectual development of
young people. Encouraged by the promising results of a number of
research studies, school districts and organizations across the globe
are implementing chess programs.
The Game of
Chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualities
of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired
and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions;
for life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain,
and competitors or adversaries to contend with, and in which there is
a vast variety of good and ill events, that are, in some degree, the
effect of prudence, or the want of it. By playing at Chess then,
we may learn: 1st, Foresight, which looks a little into futurity, and
considers the consequences that may attend an action ... 2nd,
Circumspection, which surveys the whole Chess-board, or scene of
action: - the relation of the several Pieces, and their situations;
... 3rd, Caution, not to make our moves too hastily...."

The drum squad provides
drum beats for events involving drill squad, at home basketball games
and special events. One of the advantages of joining the drum
squad is that it encourages the student to read and perform from drum
notation and the student learns to play various forms of drums.
The sound of drums
beating during a home game adds to the excitement of those attending
school games in support of their home team. It also tends to
heighten the excitement factor for those participating in the game -
like a drum calling for the WIN! |

The objective of the Mathletes Club
is to help students enjoy math and improve their results.
Participating in the Mathletes Club
encourages an intellectual culture, fosters and reinforces
classroom instruction and encourages teamwork. Students will
refresh basic math skills and there will be peer tutoring and
homework help for all students.
The word "Mathlete" is usually used
to refer to someone very dedicated to the math team of a primary
school or secondary school. More specifically, a Mathlete is to
the math team as an athlete is to a sports team. This word is
especially ironic because stereotypically, those who do well in math
team tend to be diametrically opposite to real athletes. The
term is a registered trademark of the "MathCounts" organization.
Students joining the club will compete individually
and as teams in written and fast-paced oral matches challenging their
skills in mathematical problems. Matheletes also compete with
other middle school students. Club membership is available
to pupils through the eighth grade.
This is a great club for students
aiming to go beyond minimum academic requirements. It's all
about raising the bar for students. It also augments standard
curricula so that gifted pupils are not under challenged.

The creation of poetry
is a great reading skill tool. It
is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning,
sound, and rhythmic language choices to evoke an emotional response.
Poetry has been known to employ meter and rhyme, but this is by no
means necessary. Poetry is an ancient form that has gone through
numerous and drastic reinvention over time. The very nature of poetry
as an authentic and individual mode of expression makes it nearly
impossible to define.
Students can
greatly benefit from participating in a poetry club - It definitely
helps to improve their understanding of the meaning of words and the
concept in which they are used to express oneself.
The enjoyment of sharing
the poems with classmates and learning to read them independently —
even if it seems like mere memorizing at the outset it can be an
integral part of a reader's experience with printed words.
Encourage your child to
join.
