Middle School Clubs and Activities

Outside of the classroom, SRDS students participate in a vibrant culture of clubs, organizations, and activities to enrich their learning experience.  Participation fosters student growth in the school community and promotes engagement with personal passions and areas of curiosity. 

There are abundant opportunities for students to participate and lead in an array of extracurricular activities.  Below is a list of clubs co-curricular programs available to all SRDS middle school students. 

Mini-courses started as a week-long dive into applied learning.  Students pick from a list of courses and spend a week creating something related to the theme of their topic.  Students start with nothing and end the week having created something wonderful, from a one act play, to developing an issues-based magazine, to building a nature trail or creating culinary delights.  

This program was so popular that it was expanded to Grades 4-7.  In 2020, students participated in the following courses over two days in February:

• Making a Music Video
• Viaggi Italia
• The Groovy Undersea Garden of Matisse
• Earth Day Invention 
• Musical Styles of Latin America
• Self-Care
