Clubs and Groups

S.T.E.M. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

Smoketree's STEM Club offers students the opportunity to focus on science, technology, engineering, and math content that is integrated within an after school curriculum. This curriculum will be rigorous, innovative, and college-focused with instruction on inquiry, problem-solving, decision making, discovery, and project-based learning.

The STEM Club is an after school program where students design and implement community-based projects with a focus on innovations. Community members are an integral part of the learning process. Allowing for the development of a school culture that integrates community enrichment education, students will learn from local businesses and city agencies.

The structure of the STEM Club is purposefully designed to retain students in the program. The high degree of interactive involvement, the energized environment of the classroom with quality relationships between students, teachers, and community members will create an environment for success.

What is the purpose?

The purpose is to recognize students for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated personal responsibility, to provide service to the school and community, and to develop leadership skills in elementary school students.

 

What are the opportunities for students?

NEHS provides students the opportunity to develop leadership skills by organizing and implementing various service projects that benefit the school and community.

 

How does NEHS reach out to the school and community?

NEHS reaches out at the school level by collaborating with other school organizations, such as the PTSO, to assess school needs and provide input for selected projects. Student members and faculty advisors brainstorm various community organizations and nonprofits and determine projects that are of high-interest to members, as well as, fulfill a need. NEHS makes a goal to focus on projects that benefit the younger people of the community.

Student Council allows students to make a difference in their school. This group of conscientious students effectively promotes school improvement by beautifying the school environment, building school spirit, and participating in community projects. Student Council is the voice of the students.

Through the district and community wide Rachel’s Challenge initiative, Smoketree formed a KC Club. Students organize and promote intentional acts of kindness throughout the campus and community. Students learn how to resolve conflicts, problem solve, and communicate in a positive manner to each other. They also discuss the following topics:  cultural differences, tolerance, and compassion for each other. 

Tutoring services for 1st-3rd grade are provided on Tuesday and Wednesday from 2:45 pm - 3:45 pm. Students will be identified by teachers or our Student Intervention Team or may be referred for additional support in Reading or Math Interventions.
