CLUB INFORMATION

 

Nooksack Elementary’s Club P.A.C.E. was started in the 2004-2005 school year with funding from a 21st Century Learning Centers Grant. Club P.A.C.E. is open to 4th and 5th graders who have participated in any other academic or enrichment after-school program at Nooksack Elementary School.

 

The primary goals of this program are:

 

·      Development of leadership and communication skills

·      Understanding civics—working in a democratic environment/society

·      Enhancement of goal setting and fulfillment

·      Broadening students understanding of computers/technology

 

The Club typically meets after-school on Wednesdays from 3:15 to 4:30 and has a total enrollment of about 7 students. The club members choose the student leadership and the first half of the meeting is run by the students themselves. The second half of the meeting is designated for project time and is guided by the club leader.

 

The primary focus of this Club is working with and learning about technology. Our first project focused on creating a power point presentation. The rest of the year has been spent learning about basic web page design, the result of which is the very web page you are viewing right now.
