If you're looking for a creative outlet and an opportunity to connect with others, then come make bracelets after school with Mrs. Kaczynski.  No experience necessary - projects will involve simple patterns and techniques. Members will be free to create traditional-style friendship bracelets, but will have the opportunity to learn and practice other styles as well.  Design your own "arm candy" as we practice knotting, beadwork, macrame, finger-weaving, and loom work. Come Thursday afternoons, when we all need a break from the rigors of our academic week, and enjoy a calm, friendly environment where you can spend time bonding and crafting with other creative people. Bracelet-making is gratifying because bracelets can be made fairly quickly and soon you'll have a finished product to show off. It's fun to wear your own creation, and they also make great gifts. Hope to see you there!

The game of chess is over 1300 years old and is one of the oldest and most popular games in the world. Chess is a two-player strategy game between two armies with 16 pieces for each player. The objective of the game is to place the opponent’s King into checkmate, which means that the King is trapped. Chess is easy to learn but can take a lifetime to master.

Why Learn Chess? Students of all ages LOVE the competition of the game and making new friends! Chess has also been scientifically proven to help develop analytical and decision-making skills, which students can transfer to real life. Join Mrs. Butler on Wednesday afternoons for chess club. Students of all skill levels are welcomed to join (beginner to master). When all of our members learn the game, we will have weekly tournaments! Chess sets and snacks provided.
