FALL SEP Class Descriptions
MONDAY
Pick-Up Basketball (3rd-5th) w/ Mr. Taylor
In the pick-up basketball club, students come to play some 3-on-3, 5-on-5, as well as other random basketball
games (knockout, king of the court, etc). Unlike the winter basketball club (in January), this club does NOT
have formal teams or playoffs. We casually form new teams for every game we play, and we do not do a ton of
isolated skills practice. We just play basketball and have fun!
Legos/Puzzles/Games (K-5th) w/ Ms. Hacherl
Love building, solving and strategizing? In this club, you’ll unleash your creativity, challenge your brain and have
fun with friends. Whether you are stacking Legos, cracking puzzles or battling it out in your favorite board game,
this is about teamwork, imagination and good times!
Flag Football (2nd-5th) w/ Game Point Athletics
Any season is football season in America! Participants will work on the overhand throw, catching, and play in
thrilling games! To prepare for games, participants will practice basic offensive routes and defensive coverages.

NFL playoff style tournament with a Super Bowl!!

We will be creating works of art. Learning new ways to present our art. The children will be using their own
styles to create and learn. So fun to be creative.
iPlay (K-2nd) w/ Ms. Allis
It is a long day of school for our youngest learners. It is so important and beneficial that they are given the time for
unstructured play WITHOUT the use of electronics. The students will be able to play with big Legos, building blocks,
the kitchen area, Barbies/dolls, small Legos, playdough and various other toys. This will help set the students up for a
positive day in their classroom
