A.W.B. Clubs and Activities
Art Club
As a service
club, the Art Club focuses on projects for the community.
Made up of fourth graders, the group makes posters,
participates in art contests and invitationals, such as the
Martin Luther King Jr. Invitational at Siena College, and
enters the Albany Institute's Annual Festival of Trees. The
most involved and rewarding projects involves creating the
centerpieces for the RCS Volunteer Dinner. The group meets
during recess and holds various fundraisers to purchase
materials needed for their projects.
Drama Club
Environmental Club
Future
Teachers of America Club
Harry Potter Club
In Harry
Potter Club we like to talk about the characters (Ms. Jean
likes to refer to the positive character traits shown in the
book like compassion and loyalty)
and play games with a Harry Potter theme. There are puzzles and
board games; there are days when we play BINGO and others when
we make our own magic wands, wizard hats or writing quills. All
the books are available for students to borrow, as well as the
books on tape or cd unabridged. All together, it is a club that
makes good use of a popular book series to promote
literacy. More information is available by going to the
following website: http://www2.rcscsd.org/gjean/clubs.htm

This program is open to
all third and fourth grade students. Students meet after
school for two hours and participate in volleyball,
gymnastics and basketball.
