Nature Club has been a wonderful opportunity for the 2nd -5th grade students enrolled in this Monday activity that runs through May 12th. In his book, “Last Child in the Woods”, author Richard Louv writes that today’s youth know more about the animals of other continents than they know about those animals living in their own neighborhood. He believes that today’s youth are growing up less connected to NATURE than previous generations, and that it will have serious consequences for their mental, emotional and spiritual health. Mr. Wylie grew up Boy Scouting, has camped and hiked all over the United States with his family, and would like to share his love of nature with Everett students.
PhotoVoice Club will create a photo exhibit that will develop a better understanding of pedestrian safety. The Safe Kids Worldwide Walk This Way program is illustrating the risks children face as pedestrians in several World cities. Everett students are using photography to capture pedestrian environments in the area. Their exhibit will be created using the children’s photos to educate the public as a starting point for policy changes and discussions on global road safety. PhotoVoice will meet for the last time on May 22nd.
“Skittles” Chess Club is on the move and continues to meet on Fridays through the end of the school year. “Skittles” is the name they have given to playing casual games of chess. As in the past, this activity will provide students with the opportunity to learn about the game of chess and the skills and strategies involved that make for a fun game to play with friends and family. Keep your eyes peeled for an Everett Chess Tournament registration. The Nebraska Chess League and Everett’s CLC are collaborating to make available this wonderful opportunity available to over 100 elementary age students on May 17th!
