School Clubs

 What are School Clubs?

School clubs are when a group of MME students meet on a regular basis with staff and parent volunteers outside of school instruction. They can be about anything! We’ve historically had running club, leadership club, crochet club, and many more. 

What do I do to join a club?

All you need to do is come to a club meeting, or ask the adults involved about your next step!

I wish there was a different club. Why aren’t there other clubs?

To have a club on our school campus, we need an educator to be present during the club timing, and parent volunteers to manage the club and activities. Do you have a club idea? If you can find an educator to pair with, we could have more clubs on the MME campus.

DnD Club–

First Meeting is Thursday September 11th!!

Who: Any MME kiddo grades 2nd-6th (or adult volunteer). No previous experience needed!

What you need to join: Nothing! You can bring your own dice if you want: one each of a 20 sided, 12 sided, 10 sided, 8 sided, 6 sided, and 4 sided dice for a complete set. A character sheet is provided, and there is spare dice for those who need them. Upon joining, one of the adult facilitators will help the participant create their character.

When & Where: First meeting Thursday, Sept. 4th right after school is Maestro Brickman’s room (F2). Every other week schedule is generally followed. (Once you come to a meeting they send email updates if dates change).

Don’t worry about missing a session, all stories and encounters are made with flexibility in mind.

How: Attendees are divided into groups of 3-6 players, who will proceed through smaller encounters with influence on a wider ranging environment, led by adult volunteers. Some groups can be led by volunteer 5th or 6th graders depending on their experience and interest in leading the story for a group. There is no set story, it is developed over time based on the actions and outcomes determined by the players.

Why: We encourage imagination and deep thinking into the how and why of the participants characters actions… importantly, without a screen! We aim to have the participants learning about how they can work together utilizing their different character skills to succeed – or fail – at the tasks put in front of them. Even in failure, the story continues!
 
 

Garden Club–
