Student Clubs & Activities
Students at Elmwood Elementary School have many opportunities to pursue their interests in a structured but less formal environment than a typical classroom by participating in our after-school clubs.
Our current clubs and activities can be found below. Make sure to contact us if you know of any organizations that should be added to this list!
To be updated.
Students are invited by teachers as an intervention to work with peer tutors on their homework.
Homework Club meets after school on Mondays and Thursdays for students recommended by their teachers to receive help with their homework as well as their overall academics and organization.
Students need to come prepared with all materials necessary to complete the assigned homework. After homework is completed, students will have the opportunity to work on math and reading interventions on the computer.
Intramurals is a way for students to be physically active by playing different sports in a noncompetitive way with their classmates. We do three different sports throughout the year for five weeks at a time. Boys and girls are welcome to join, and no experience is required. Please note: There is a $5 fee per student for each session.
In Fit Club, girls participate in various fitness activities and games to help improve both physical fitness and self-esteem.
Fit Club practices include an endurance jog as well as a game or team-building activity. The culminating event is a 30-minute endurance run at the high school track.
The club will start practices in February, and the final event will be in May. Practices are one hour long, and we will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Panther Press club members write news articles, creative pieces, poems and human interest stories.
Club members meet on alternating weeks throughout the year. Upon registration, students receive a permission slip and a schedule of meeting times.
Meetings are usually held after school on Wednesdays. Students are responsible for thinking up story ideas, writing their stories and editing their work. The Panther Press is published four times yearly.
This club gives students a chance to explore aspects of science, technology, engineering and math ("STEM") as a supplement to what they learn in the classroom.
Students will need a recommendation from two teachers to be considered for the club.
Student Council is a club for students who want to become involved in the school community as well as in Elmwood Park.
Students participate as classroom representatives and attend meetings every other week, unless otherwise specified.
Members participate in fundraising and community service events throughout the school year, serving as role models for their peers.
This club is designed for students who want to learn more about technology.
TAP members also gain knowledge about new and exciting computer programs, applications and websites that are available today.
The yearbook committee works on design and photography for the school yearbook.
