Girls on the Run
At Girls on the Run, we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength ad celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the 10-week program, girls in 3rd-4th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k event.

STEM Club
STEM Club is an extracurricular club for fourth grade students that provides an opportunity for students to engage in science, technology, engineering, and math in multiple ways and in a supportive and fun environment. The goal is to increase critical thinking skills of each student through hands-on projects and challenges. Students work in teams to explore and collaborate on problems presented to them.
ReadUp
South Elementary partners with United Way for this literacy initiative. ReadUp brings volunteers from the community into the school to work with students one-on-one and help them become better readers. Students engage in one hour of reading, answering questions about the text and learning new words from the text. The goal is to help students improve their academic performance, increase their confidence whenever they open a book and deepen their love for reading!
