Founded in 2014, Bay View Montessori\u2019s FIRST<\/em> LEGO League team made history as the first such team in Milwaukee Public Schools. Students in grades one through six build LEGO-based robots and compete in engineering tournaments.

The club emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and good sportsmanship in a fun, screen-free environment. It\u2019s the perfect space for students to connect, play, and problem-solve together. With the help of the PTO, Gamers Unplugged hosted it’s first Family Game Night in 2025.\u00a0 The next one is already planned for January 2026.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Started in 2025, thanks to one parent’s incredibly generous donation of thousands of cards and half a dozen board games, Pok\u00e9mon enthusiasts come together to battle, and explore the world of Pok\u00e9mon 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.<\/p>\n Since 2001, Futura Language Professionals has been a pioneer in Spanish enrichment programming. Located directly at your child\u2019s school immediately before or after the traditional school day, Futura classes provide an unparalleled convenient and affordable way to get a jump start on your child\u2019s language education in a fun, age-appropriate manner.<\/p>\n Through enriching experiences like extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardship, girls grow courageous and strong.
