ELEMENTARY EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES


Our SBEC Elementary Division is off to a great start for the 2012-2013 school year.  In addition to the academic offerings that are provided to our students during the school day, many of our students in grades five and six are involved in our afterschool extracurricular sports activities such as football, cross country, volleyball, and cheerleading.  Others in grades JK-6 are involved in our intramural soccer program or in the afterschool recreational activity programs such as chess, kidsart, karate, gymnastics, pom poms, piano lessons and computer explorers.  In all of the above mentioned activities, some 425 of our students in the Elementary Division stay after school at least one afternoon per week to participate in an extracurricular activity.  Participation in these special  activities allows our students the opportunity to develop   specific activity related skills as well as life skills such as self-confidence, sportsmanship, time management, team work, responsibility and reliability.  I would like to thank Sherri Howard, our Elementary Athletic Director and Tammy Sousan, the Director of our After School Childcare programs for making it possible for these special activities to be offered to our students.
