Battle of the Books

On Tuesday, May 5th, Club's 5th grade Battle of the Books team competed in the district competition at the Staff Development Center. These students read 12 novels this year and met every other Friday in the Media Center to discuss the books and prepare for the battle. The team place second after losing by just a few points to Pearsontown in the tie-breaker round. Congratulations to these students for all their hard work and accomplishments!

Club Hoops

On Monday, March 23, Club's faculty took on George Watts in a basketball game at DSA to raise money for the PTA. Many families from both schools came out to support their teachers, staff, and principals. A good time was had by all!

District Technology Showcase

Two groups of Club students presented their work with technology at the DPS Educational Technology Showcase on March 19th. The Showcase featured dozens of exhibits that illustrated to parents and other attendees the infusion of technology in virtually every aspect of instruction across the district.  Our second graders displayed their "Mixbooks"--online books they created after researching an animal's habitat and life cycle. Our fifth graders talked to parents about the Wiki they used to help them prepare for the Battle of the Books competition.
