Participation in school clubs is a part of an elementary student's educational journey. These clubs offer young minds a myriad of benefits that extend beyond the classroom. From fostering teamwork to nurturing passions and hobbies, engaging in extracurricular activities provides students with valuable life skills.

Through clubs, children can develop social and leadership skills, make lasting friendships, and explore interests that might shape their future. Furthermore, it instills a sense of belonging and school pride, enhancing their overall educational experience.

At Ira Cross Jr. Elementary, we encourage our young learners to join clubs because we believe that participation goes hand in hand with personal growth and academic success. So, let's inspire our elementary students to explore, learn, and grow through the exciting world of school clubs!

Clubs and programs may vary per school year.

Science Olympiad

Science Olympiad is an engaging and educational competition that brings together students from various schools to explore the wonders of science. Participants, typically third- through fifth-graders, form teams and compete in a range of exciting scientific challenges. These challenges span diverse topics, from intricate experiments to creative problem-solving.

During Science Olympiad, students work together to tackle intriguing tasks that require estimation, problem-solving, and hands-on construction. They spend months preparing in after-school clubs to hone their skills and knowledge, with the ultimate goal of competing in a day filled with science-centered games.

Throughout the competition, volunteer judges assess the students' efforts, awarding top individuals and teams in various categories. While the desire to win is strong, the primary focus remains on learning and having fun. Students relish the opportunity to collaborate, learn by doing, and make sense of the world around them.

Science Olympiad promotes teamwork, collaborative skills, and critical thinking, all while providing a memorable, hands-on experience for young minds. It's an event that combines learning, friendly competition, and social interaction, fostering a love for science and exploration. Ultimately, Science Olympiad nurtures the growth of aspiring scientists and fosters a passion for discovery.
