Programs/Activities
Art
In elementary art classes, students will explore many different aspects of visual art. Students will let their creativity flow by engaging in activities such as drawing and painting with various materials. They also learn art vocabulary, explore the work of many different artists and art movements, and learn to appreciate art as it enhances our world.
Clubs
One of the best ways to develop school pride and team spirit is to participate in our clubs. We offer the following opportunities:
- Art 4orms
- Bike Club
- Crossover Impact After School program
- Global Gardens
- Lilyfield Kids Club
- Student Council
- Teacher-Led Interest Clubs
Art 4orms
Art 4orms is a FREE after school program that supports families with North Tulsa public school students between the ages of 6 - 10 years old.
After School Art Program Features:
- Students will develop proficiency in Oklahoma academic standards for fine arts with art therapy curriculum infusion
- Free Transportation from student(s) home school
- Free healthy meal at the onset of each class period
- 4 art based field trips throughout academic year
Bike Club
Bike Club kicks-off each year in late September and runs for approximately 20-25 weeks, finishing in early May. Students who complete the program earn a bicycle and helmet. Each club is made up of roughly 20 students and five volunteers — this number includes faculty member(s). Equipment needed to run club activities, such as bicycles, helmets, safety vests, curriculum, drill supplies, maps, etc., along with adult-size bicycles, are provided to each participating school.
In the fall, students and adult volunteers meet weekly after school to ride bikes and work on cycling skills, life skills (confidence, respect, following rules, etc.) and other activities (for instance, STEM learning). And the spring semester is focused more on off-campus rides and experiences — for example, students may ride to a fire station, museum, park, restaurant or other nearby place of interest.
Crossover Impact After School program
To help serve families in our community, we provide a fun, safe, and educational after-school and summer enrichment program for K-5th grade students at Hawthorne Elementary School. Our program runs Monday through Thursday from 2:45 to 5:15 and 8:00 to 3:00 PM. It consists of a healthy meal, athletic and character development, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics), and reading and homework tutoring with our StreetLeaders, volunteers and staff.
Global Gardens
Our free after-school program serves students in grades 3-6 for 2-4 hours weekly from September through May. The program is focused on student-led inquiry and empowerment. Students earn and cultivate their own gardens while also engaging in discussion, journaling, self-reflection, cooking, creative activities, and community projects. Students set group expectations and, when conflicts arise, use a “peace table” to resolve them respectfully.
Lilyfield Kids Club
The purpose of Kids Club is for children to learn social and emotional skills and to be in an environment where they feel safe and can thrive. Some of the social and emotional skills children will learn in Kids Club are the following: controlling emotions, feeling empathy, impulse control, learning to listen, respect, mindfulness, etc. Children will learn these skills through a social and emotional curriculum as well as through playtime.
