Activities

Overview

Don’t underestimate the importance of having fun participating in school activities. Some of the best times and memories students have are the experiences of belonging to a club or participating in an after school activity. Clubs and activities are important to join just for the enjoyment that they will bring to most students, but they also allow the students to more easily make friends because the groups are small and they get to be themselves!

Clubs and activities provide students with many positive experiences that help them to become well-rounded individuals who are ready for college or the workplace. It helps students to become active in their school and to feel a connection the school and to others. It provides a sense of pride and school spirit and it is a positive influence on our youth today.

Battle of the Books

Battle of the Books is a 5th grade reading club where students read as many of the 20 books from the BOB list that they can, and then participate in two ‘game show style’ competitions. In order to make the BOB Team, students must read ten of the 20 BOB books and complete responses for 10 of the books (Summary Sheets, BOBsnaps).

Chess Club

Greenfield’s chess club is a chance for students to gather and play chess with friends before school. There is no formal instruction, and all skill levels are welcome.

STEAM

Students on the STEAM Team will meet after school and tackle science, technology, engineering, art, and math challenges! STEAM uses authentic situations and to build critical thinking and problem solving skills through application. Members must apply yearly to be a part of the team.

Talent Show

Each year our music teacher, Nicolas Leonard, and the PTA sponsor two talent shows, the first for grades 4 and 5, and the second one for grades K – 3.
