Crochet Club
In Crochet Club, students learn the basics of crochet and work on fun, hands-on projects like bookmarks, bracelets, and small plushies. Lead by the beloved Ms. Donna, the club encourages patience, focus, and artistic expression in a calm, social setting. No prior experience is required. Students are required to provide their own materials.
Pokémon Club
Started in 2025, thanks to one parent’s incredibly generous donation of thousands of cards and half a dozen board games, Pokémon enthusiasts come together to battle, and explore the world of Pokémon through games and storytelling. The club fosters creativity, teamwork, and respectful play. No experience or materials needed. Students will make a deck to use from the donated cards.
