The K-Kids Club
The K-Kids Club is a student-led service organization open to students in grades 4 and 5. Sponsored by Crofton Woods Elementary School in partnership with the Kiwanis Club, K-Kids' objectives are:
Destination Imagination
Destination Imagination (DI) is an after-school program to challenge creative thinkers. Students participate in tryouts and the highest scoring students are selected for the DI teams. Each team has an adult coach. Each team is asked to solve a problem with specific guidelines. The value of the program is that the students themselves create a solution to the problem. The team coach is not allowed to help with the solution. It takes about five months to solve a problem. At the end of five months, teams meet at a regional competition. All the teams who solved the same problem compete for 1st or 2nd place. If a team receives 1st or 2nd, it goes on to the state competition. If a team receives a 1st at states, it goes to the final competition, the worlds. Everyone at Crofton Woods is very proud of our DI teams!
Reading Incentive Program
Each year Crofton Woods implements a variety of schoolwide reading incentives. Though the theme changes each year, the goals remain the same; to motivate our students to read for pleasure and to develop life-long readers.
The Guest Reader Program
Many teachers at Crofton Woods have a guest reader program. Convenient days and times are coordinated with the classroom teacher and the parent volunteer. Please contact the reading teacher if you are interested in learning more about being a guest reader.
