Book Club - Rebecca Caudill Book Club

Do you love to read? Do you enjoy discussing books with other people who love to read? This is the club for you. Open to 5th and 6th graders who want to read and discuss this year’s state-wide reading list, the Rebecca Caudill books. During the first meeting, club members will vote for their favorite Caudills, which will determine what we will read together for the rest of the year. Note: This eight-session club will meet the second Monday of each month, beginning on October 19th (which is technically the 3rd Monday of October). Students are responsible for obtaining their own copy of the books. Snacks will be provided.

Bridge Club
|
|
Duplicate bridge is now being played at the Olympic games in the new Mind Games category. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet believe so much in the value of their favorite pastime that they have donated one million dollars for an initiative to get programs going for kids across the U.S. Bridge improves memory and logic and teaches teamwork; but the reason kids say they love it? It’s fun! The Highcrest Bridge club will be recognized by the American Contract Bridge League. Visit www.youth4bridge.org to get a sense of what is happening in other U.S. locations. Lead teachers, Jaqueline Rapp and Elizabeth Staehlin, live in Wilmette. Both have taught in the area and are Bridge Life Masters.

Currently he coaches in both Wisconsin and Illinois schools. Shiva has been training chess students for over 15 years. Beginners to advance players are welcome. The program will be FRIDAY AFTERNOONS. This is a wonderful day of the week for Chess Club, since students can prepare for any weekend chess tournament or activity. As we move towards an informational-driven society, the skills your students learn through the game of chess will serve them well in everything they strive to accomplish. Chess sets will be provided (no need for the student to bring).
