Student Clubs

Our Pride Club is a welcoming and inclusive space where students celebrate LGBTQ+ identities, learn about the importance of kindness, and promote respect for all. The club engages students in activities that explore self-identity, build empathy, and encourage standing up against bullying. Each spring, Pride Club helps lead our school’s Rainbow Spirit Week in April—a joyful celebration of diversity, love, and unity for our entire school community. All students are welcome to join and be part of creating a school where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.

Black Joy Club is an affinity group for our African American and Black students to come together in a safe, supportive space to share their experiences, celebrate their identities, and build community. Black Joy Club also supports school-wide efforts to highlight Black excellence and contribute to a more inclusive and empowering school environment for all.

The youth-led Junior Coach Program is the bridge that takes all of the tools adults know about creating safe and inclusive spaces and passes them onto the youth.  Youth have less life experience, but they often have deeper insights into the needs and the happenings on the playground.  

• Shared Leadership between Youth Leaders and Recess Staff: Recess Staff and Junior Coaches both feel a sense of ownership of recess objectives and work together to achieve these objectives.
• Leadership Skill Development: Recess Team continuously works with students to develop their leadership skills. The skills are utilized first at recess and then move into the classroom and the school.
