Clubs

Art Club is for 5th grade students who are passionate about the visual arts and want an opportunity to work with a variety of art mediums. During the eight week session students may work with clay and other sculptural materials, paints, collaging, or even have the chance to experience creating art digitally with the use of a computer. This club is facilitated by Mr. Chad Buice.

Chorus Club is a wonderful tradition at Riverside Elementary. We meet in the fall semester, providing our students with a variety of opportunities to share our music in public performances. Chorus is open to 4th and 5th grade students who are committed to putting forth high energy, effort, and enthusiasm, working together in a cooperative manner. This club is facilitated by Mr. Larry Barker. 

Mrs. Greco, our Theater Arts teacher, is excited about having a club focused on drama and dance! We will work collaboratively with Mr. Barker’s chorus club for performances at Riverside.

The Fitness Club will allow students to increase their strength and fitness levels. The students will work hard as they participate in warm-up activities, strength activities, fitness testing practice, running, and partner fitness and skill challenges. Each club session will incorporate running either in the gym or outside. The students will document their progress for the 8-week session. This will be a great opportunity for kids to have fun while keeping their bodies strong and healthy. Mr. Tontillo facilitates this club.

Some call this a Book Club. We call it Rocket Readers! This is not a “tea and crumpets” conversation about a “nice little book I read.” THIS IS WHERE READING MEETS BATTLE ROYALE! Book Club is an opportunity to join a team of 4th and 5th grade readers who are willing to take on the challenge of reading at least one chapter book a week and be ready to exchange ideas. WE READ LIKE A ROCKET! 
THIS CLUB MEETS ON WEDNESDAYS. This club is facilitated by Ms. Bartholomew and Ms. Carpenter, our Media Specialists.

Our mission at The Compassion in Action Project is to offer hands-on community service opportunities for kids through after school clubs and classroom visits. We also want to provide families with opportunities to serve together, which increases their awareness of local needs and deepens their relationships with each other and with the community.
