Service Clubs 

News CREW

News Crew is a student-led service club that gives Carlson students the opportunity to share important news, celebrate our school community, and help keep students and staff connected. Through News Crew, students build confidence, communication skills, and leadership while providing a meaningful service to our campus.

Peer assisting coyotes (PAC) 

Peer Assisting Coyotes are older students who start their day by helping in our younger students’ classrooms before school. They lend a helping hand with morning routines, connect with younger Coyotes, and serve as positive role models. It’s a simple but meaningful way for students to build leadership while helping our younger Coyotes start their day strong.
 

COYOTE mentors

Coyote Mentors is an opportunity for older Carlson students to mentor younger Carlson students.  Mentors are 4th/ 5th grade students chosen by application and interview.  They are partnered with younger students in K-2nd grades who might benefit from a positive connection with an older student. Mentors/ mentees meet once a week to spend time together, playing a board game/ doing a puzzle, reading together, or other similar activities.

 

LIBRARY HELPERS

Library Helpers take an active role in helping our library run smoothly. Throughout the week, these students support daily library operations, help select and highlight books for other students, provide tech support, and help keep the library organized and welcoming everyone.

 

*All service club members are considered part of the student leadership team and represent the student body and culture of the school for outside audiences.  One example of this is their development of student-led tours and panel discussions about Carlson.

 

Friday Clubs / Enrichment Clusters

Throughout the day on Fridays, students leave their classrooms to participate in elective workshops devoted to a variety of enrichment and academic subjects.  These clubs are a student favorite and a unique opportunity to learn something new they might not otherwise have the chance to.

 

These workshops, sponsored by parents, community members, and staff run for 6-8 weeks and have covered a variety of topics including pinata making, wood working, sports from around the world, artist study, cooking, exploring world cultures and cuisines, game clubs, Lego club, etc. 

 

Friday Clubs are for grades K/1 and run from 8:15 - 9:00am.

Wednesday Clubs are for 2nd grade and run from 2:00 -3:00pm.

Enrichment Clusters are for grades 3 - 5 and run from 2:00 - 3:00pm.

*There is an Enrichment Cluster Showcase for grades 3-5 at the end of their session.  Children set up stations to teach each other about what they've learned in their cluster.
