Clubs are offered to all 3rd and 4th grade students at Grant Line. As of now (with fabulous parent and teacher volunteers), we tentatively plan to offer Lego, Drama, Ski, Dance, Robotics, Soccer, Sign Language, Rock Climbing, Book, Chess, Science, Cheer, Outdoor Exploration and Art (please note that track and basketball are separate programs run by the New Albany Track Club and the Parks Department). Each club will take place 5 or more times either before school from 7:30-8am or after school until 3:15pm (with the exception of Ski Club which will take place in the evening). Parents are responsible for their child's transportation. We're presently seeking individuals for the following roles: GAME CLUB CO-CHAIR: facilitate 5 meetings wherein students learn and play new and traditional games (LOTS of fun and has been linked to heightened cognitive skills), teach games and circulate and assist during meetings, materials provided INTERNATIONAL CLUB CHAIR OR CO-CHAIR: lead 5 meetings involving celebrating holidays from around the world, learning words from new languages, learning about different cultures, making and trying foods from different countries and creating cool crafts to take home and keep! Materials provided. This would be a GREAT addition to GLE! CAMPING CLUB CHAIR OR CO-CHAIR: organize a single camping excursion for GLE families, students would need to attend with an adult and provide their own camping materials, similar to ski club in that all are welcome (no registration limit) and nominal fees would be involved Have another idea for a school club you'd like to facilitate? Please let us know; we'd LOVE to hear about it! ***Parents of students younger than 3rd grade are also welcome to facilitate a club.*** Club registration will take begin the Monday after school starts on Aug. 3rd. The continued success of our Clubs Program depends entirely on our many wonderful parent and teacher volunteers. We coordinate dates around volunteers' work and family schedules. The commitment would be 5 meetings throughout the school year set at your convenience (before or after school). Thank you so much to anyone who is willing to lead or help during a club next year!
