If your child is looking to get involved in a group at Carlisle Middle School, I hope they have explained to you the many options they now have. Feeling connected to your school by getting involved can really enhance the school experience. Not to mention that are history shows that students who get connected in an extra curricular activity tend to have much better attendance and better grades in school! So....students should try to get involved in at least one activity. If you are not sure what activities, we offer, here you go....
Sports for grades 7 and 8: Currently football, volleyball, cross country and cheerleading are going on. Soon basketball for boys and girls will start up along with wrestling. Then, we finish the year with baseball, softball, and track. Wow! And if that isn't enough, CYA offers similar sports as well as soccer in the fall and spring.
Chess Club: This group starts up this week with their first meeting after school on Wednesday. Wednesday will likely be their regular meeting day.
Art Club: This group has already started and they are meeting on Tuesdays. This is a great group for any student that has interest in Art.
Conservation Club: This group meets on Thursdays after school and they do lots of landscaping, research on nature, and beautification projects. They also are active with plantings in the spring.
Jazz Band: These groups are now up and running with different groups of Jazz band students meeting almost every morning each week.
Yearbook: This group has formed, but has not yet had their first meeting. They will start meeting here in a few weeks and will meet off and on throughout the year on Thursday mornings. When it is all said and done, they will have produced our school yearbook!
Student Council: Students applied for this and have already had several meetings and even a bake sale. Next, they will help put on our school social. They stay pretty active and meet on Tuesdays either before school or after school, whichever students can make. However, they do not meet every Tuesday though.
STAND (Students Taking Action, Not Drugs): This group will meet on Tuesday afternoons on days when the Student Council meets. Students can be in both groups or just one. This group is the new version of our our JEL/SADD group and this group will be attempting to educate our students on the dangers and evils of drugs and alcohol.
Whew....that is a lot of groups! I might have even missed one or two and it wouldn't surprise me if more groups form during the year. Bottom line is that students should get involved and their are lots of ways they can get involved. No excuse not to!!
