Enrichment Activities

Our school assemblies give students and staff a chance to join together for fun interactive events that celebrate creativity, teamwork and pride. The highlight of the year is our school award show. This is a joyful celebration of students’ growth and achievements that families, staff and students anticipate each spring.

The Community School Brain Files is an executive functioning program created specifically for the Community School students. Executive functioning skills are how the brain works together to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully.

Developed by two of Community School's Speech and Language Pathologists, the Brain Files is a workbook that centers on teaching and improving these essential executive functioning skills. Every 10 weeks, students will work on a new skill. Each activity builds upon the skills introduced during earlier activities. Instruction and a practice activity precede every new skill to ensure students understand the value and purpose of these activities.

Our school store is a fun and rewarding way for students to see their hard work pay off. Using points earned from our positive behavior system as currency, students can choose to save or spend each week. The store helps reinforce responsibility, decision making and motivation--making positive choices meaningful.

Every six weeks, Social Fridays bring our school community together through fun school-wide activities such as Kickball games, Movies, Escape Rooms, and Homeroom Challenges. These events foster teamwork, friendship, and school spirit. They give students a chance to connect and collaborate as a community.

Spirit Committee is a social-emotional program that supports students' confidence, responsibility, and sense of community. Spirit Committee

helps students develop social skills and make friends within and across groups.

The Spirit Committee has planned many events since it was established in 2017 including Spirit Days (Character Day, Pajama Day, Sports Day, etc), biannual candygram sales, a yearly kickoff event, teacher appreciation days, a schoolwide garden, weekly snack sales, and an end of the year carnival!
