Extra Curricular Activities
Our school offers a variety of extra-curricular activities designed to enrich the student experience beyond the standard curriculum. These activities provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and engage with their peers in a supportive environment.
Athletics:
· Athletic programs are offered to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Details about available sports teams and activities, as well as tryout schedules, will be communicated to students and parents.
Clubs and Organizations:
· A range of enrichment clubs will be available, including:
o Lego League
o Photography
o Running
o Dance
o Drama
o Art
These clubs typically start in October and provide students with the chance to pursue interests and talents outside the classroom. Participation in clubs may require parental consent and could have associated costs for materials or fees.
National Honor Society
· Students in upper grades have the opportunity to join the Elementary National Honor Society (ENHS). Membership is based on academic achievement, leadership, and character. Further details will be provided during conferences.
School Dances:
· School dances are organized throughout the year to foster school spirit and provide students with social opportunities. Information about dates, themes, and ticket purchases will be provided in advance.
Miscellaneous Information
· CARING FOR KIDS: Truman Elementary partners with several area churches and 2 businesses to better meet the needs of the families and staff that we serve. If your organization or business would like to partner with us, please contact Donna Hoch at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church 9420 James Reed Road. (816-763-8444)
· YEARBOOK: Creating a yearbook is contingent upon having a staff member that is willing to take upon the responsibility. If a child moves, we cannot guarantee their picture will be in the yearbook. Yearbooks will be sold to interested families throughout the school year and will be distributed in the spring. Once the yearbook goes to the publisher, no changes can be made.
