Community Commitments

Middle School Clubs & Wellness 2024-2025

This year we are so excited to be engaging with our friends and mentors doing things we enjoy during the school day. We know how important engagement, activity and connectivity are to our mental wellbeing, so we started a new initiative on Fridays called Wellness Fridays!

Become a Club Mentor!

Wellness Fridays: Being active and engaged is an important part of taking care of our mental well being. Every Friday we focus on this with new weekly activities and healthy snacks.

Community Commitments & Clubs 2023-2024

This Year we are excited to expand Community Commitments time to include Clubs. Community Commitments and Clubs allow 6th, 7th & 8th graders an opportunity to do a weekly service project, and also connect with peers and adults doing what they love, and trying new things.
We are excited to see the new skills, hobbies, friendships and connections our students will make this year!

Community Commitments 2022-2023

Through a collaboration with the middle school teachers, Tt Mentoring, and Twinfield Service Learning - 7th & 8th graders make a weekly commitment to their school community. Students were placed in small groups, with adult mentors to help guide them in their weekly commitments. Some sample projects include:

Kindergarten Reading Buddies

Students read to Ms. Emerson’s class and then walk them to the bus for dismissal.

Teens Reaching Youth (TRY)

Students learn more about an environmental issue at a conference in December. Then, they visit K-2 classrooms to lead fun activities about that issue.
