Extracurricular Activities

Even though learning in the academic areas is the primary purpose of any school program, extracurricular activities are also an extremely valuable area where students share accomplishments and learning experiences beyond those which occur in the classroom. A wide variety of activities are available at Indian Trail Middle School, and we strongly encourage all of our students to become involved in one or more of them. Clubs provide many opportunities for continued learning and making new friends. Most Clubs meet on a regular basis and accept new members throughout the school year.

Art Club
Art Club is open to members of any grade level at any time. In this organization, students can explore the fine arts outside the regular curriculum. Currently we are working on masks, however, plans for the year also include workshops with local artists, competition opportunities, and other small hands-on projects. Art Club meets every Thursday from 2:45-4:00 in room 11.

Science Club
Science club is open to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students and typically meets once a week. We do experiments, take care of our prairie outside of the building, and investigate many fun science activities. In February, we participate in the Science Olympiad. We develop bridges, catapults, cars, compressed air bottle rockets, and boats to take to the Olympiad competition. We also participate in some events that do not need pre-planning. It is a fun club to belong to!

Please contact Eric Boe sponsor of Science club, for more information.

Intramural Sports
Indian Trail Middle School offers five intramural sports for sixth through eighth graders. These sports are scheduled to follow the time of year when the skills for each sport have been taught in our P.E. classes. Intramural sports include: softball and flag football (September and October); indoor soccer (November and December); basketball (January and February); and volleyball (March). All students are encouraged to participate in one or more intramural sports. There are no participation fees and sports physicals are not required. Intramurals are coed activities held after school two or-three days per week. Teams will be divided into two separate groups - one for sixth and a second for seventh and eighth grade students. Sixth grade games will typically be played on Tuesdays and seventh and eighth grade games on Thursdays. If there are large numbers of students and/or shortened school weeks, games may also be scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Please contact Lori Bakhaus, sponsor of intramural sports, for more information.

Student Council
The Indian Trail Student Council provides students with an opportunity to work together to plan special events and service activities for our school and community. Student council representatives are volunteers who commit themselves to attend weekly student council meetings held before school and to assist with programs and activities. The student body elects student council officers (President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer).

Please contact Sylvia Cantu, Student Council Sponsor, for more information.
