Chess club was formed for the purpose of learning and playing the board game of chess. Students get together to learn, play, and discuss chess. Both informal and tournament games are available to our students. Each student also earns a trophy for stretching their minds beyond the normal school day.
Math Club
The Math Club fosters awareness and appreciation of mathematics as both an intellectual pursuit and as an extra-curricular activity. Our students participate in the MOEMS Olympiad, which is a large and popular mathematics competition for students in grades 4 through 8. Our students also compete against students from around the district in the year-ending Superintendents' Championship. The goal is to expose students to methods of mathematical problem-solving and academic competition.
