Science Olympiad 

The goal of Science Olympiad is to improve the quality of science education through competitions similar to sporting events. Just as students are motivated to compete in various sporting activities, students compete as a team against other schools.  They competed in events involving identification of insects, egg drops, identifying mysterious substances, measurement and Pictionary.

Safety Patrol

Patrols direct children, not traffic. As school-age leaders in traffic safety, patrol members teach other students about traffic safety on a peer-to-peer basis. They also serve as role models for younger children who look up to them.
