Southern MS Club Descriptions
Club Sign up Form – Coming Soon
Our list is being updated. These descriptions are clubs we have run in the past. Some we still have.
Art
This club is for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who have an interest in art and enjoy being creative. We explore different art materials such as pastel, watercolor, clay, charcoal, colored pencil, and scratchboard. We also learn new techniques and have fun in a relaxing environment. Art club is a year-long activity.
Mrs. Jones ROOM: Art
APBA Baseball
APBA baseball gives you the same decisions that big league managers face every day, such as: picking your starting line-up, making the batting order, pulling a pitcher, putting in your reliever, etc.. It is a baseball card dice game that gives you the statistics of more than 600 players. Easy to learn and fun to play! We will create a league, have play-offs, and eventually a World Series Champion!
Mr. Gensemer ROOM: 339
Cornwall Terrace Helper
If you are interested in being a buddy to some elementary school students, then this club is for you. You might be asked to read a book to a buddy, play gym-like games, play board games, do arts and crafts, sing songs, etc. You might even play fun games with them to help them practice math skills. Perhaps you would be the teacher’s helper for an activity period. The possibilities are endless, so if you’d like to make a positive difference in the life of a young child, sign up for this club!
