After School Clubs at Timrod Elementary School offer after-hours fun for students Timrod is very proud of the uniqueness of our school to offer after school clubs for students during the school year. We are very committed to ensuring student success academically but enjoy being able to offer extracurricular teacher sponsored clubs to our students after school. Teachers volunteer to sponsor clubs and send out an invite to our student population. These after school club provide an opportunity for students and teachers to interact on a friendly level and sometimes compete with each other. Timrod’s Drama Club has existed for a number of years. This club is offered to our second and third grade students. Students practice weekly learning lines to a play and songs that correspond with the performance. At the end of the semester, our students hit the bright lights with a dramatic performance for staff, students and family members. Our last play in December 2018 Elfis and the Sleigh Riders was a hit! Some of our former students move on to showcase their talent at Florence Little Theatre. Jump Rope Club extends an invite to our first and second grade students each year. Teachers sponsor this club to help with gross motor skills for our younger students. This club helps students stay physically active and in shape. Jumping rope also improves coordination and helps students focus on a skill. Students did an outstanding jump rope performance to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” in February for Celebration of Schools. Basketball Club is one of our newest clubs added to our list. Students in grades fifth and sixth gather on the court with our teacher sponsor and a FMU student to learn to fundamentals of the game. This club helped students strengthen their techniques and enjoy the love of the sport. Students celebrate at the end of the club with a cookout and a friendly competitive game. Principal McBride states “students enjoy participating in our after school clubs and are eager to display their talents in front of family and friends.” Timrod hopes to offer additional clubs next year for our students.
