The Principal's Pen

Dear Parents,

We are fortunate here at Simis to have multiple enriching opportunities for our students.  Some are fee-based, others are free, and all are great examples of a wide range of successful, enriching activities for students.  

Spanish—This year offered in the mornings and afternoon, students learn Spanish from native speakers.  This is a fee-based program.

Ultimate Gymnastics—Introduce your children to the wonderful sport of gymnastics.  Pre-K—4th grade.  This is a fee-based program.

NRG Gymnastics/ Hip Hop—Students will learn basic gymnastics moves while improving balance, coordination, flexibility and concentration.  This is a fee-based program. 

Chess Club—Chess for all levels and all grades.  Beginners are welcome.  This is a fee-based program.

Odyssey of the Mind— is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program. 

MAC– Madison Adventure Club– Quality childcare on campus, register online www.madisonaz.org. This program is fee-based.   

Cub Scouts—a family oriented organization with lots of activities. It is a fee-based program.
