• General Information About After-School Clubs

    In order for clubs to run, a teacher must be willing to sponsor the club after school and there must be a reasonable level of student interest.  For these reasons, Tohickon clubs may be different from year to year. Currently, Tohickon runs the following clubs:

    Diversity Club - Sponsored by Mrs. Fox (brifox@cbsd.org)
    The mission of Tohickon’s Diversity Club is to promote understanding and acceptance of social misconceptions and foster respect for all individuals that we encounter throughout our lives. We will utilize inspired discussion and activities among our peers to raise enlightenment of current social issues and we will try to break down the barriers of stereotypes. Meeting dates are advertised on the Morning Show.

    Farm to Fork - Sponsored by Mrs. Flath (yflath@cbsd.org)
    Farm to Fork is a service-oriented club that focuses on harvesting and preparing crops from the Tohickon garden. Students will spend time outside during the Fall and Spring collecting herbs and vegetables as weather permits.   In addition, students will learn how to wash, trim, prepare and cook, if applicable, the food for use in the FCS classroom and to offer as community donations.  Students who enjoy fresh foods and cooking, as well as those who are looking for community volunteer opportunities are encouraged to join.  This club is open to all Tohickon students in grades 7, 8 and 9. Stop by room 408 and speak with Mrs. Flath or e-mail her at yflath@cbsd.org. Meeting dates advertised on the Morning Show.

    FITNESS/EXERCISE CLUB - Sponsored by Mrs. Heath (sheath@cbsd.org)
    No experience needed; times-2:30-4:00 on Thursday's in the  WEIGHT ROOM - Students must arrange transportation.   

    In this club, you will have the opportunity to work out in the school weight/exercise room and/or walk around the school. 

    Garden Club (seasonal) - Sponsored by Mr. Neely (jneely@cbsd.org)
    Students will have the opportunity to work in the garden after school as weather permits.  In the Fall we tend to the beds so that Farm to Fork Club and FCS departments have the vegetables and herbs needed for students. We will then plant seeds and seedlings in the Spring and weed as needed. This club is open to all Tohickon students in grades 7, 8, and 9.

    Morning Math Help Club - Sponsored by Mrs. Bellavance (abellavance@cbsd.org)
    Morning Math Help Club Is a Place for Students of Any Grade and Math Level to Receive Extra Math Help Before the School Day Begins.

    Reading Olympics - Sponsored by Mrs. Fox (brifox@cbsd.org)
    Reading Olympics is a countywide event that encourages students to increase the quality and quantity of books they read for enjoyment. The Reading Olympics is based upon research which shows that good reading habits form the foundation for a productive and successful life. Reading Olympics is designed to inspire students to read for pleasure and learn the value of teamwork at the same time! Competition is usually in the evening in early-April at Unami Middle School. We will begin our after school and before school meetings in mid-to-late October.

    Additional time for the Morning Show students to discuss ideas and film segments for the morning show. By invitation.
