GENDER DEFENDERS
A club for 5th and 6th Grade Boys!!!!
Next Meeting- Monday, November 24th
3:00-4:00 in RAS Library
Do you enjoy hanging out with the guys?
Are you looking for something to do after school with other 5th and 6th grade boys?
Do you feel you are a leader in the school?
Do you want to become a leader?
Maybe make some new friends?
Do you have some ideas about things we could do in the school and out of school that would be fun?
If you answered YES…then the Boys’ Gender Defenders Club is for you.
We will meet twice a month after school (days to be determined)
Some ideas for the club include:
·
Organizing sporting events- 3-3 basketball tournament, flag football, kickball, etc
·
Wii Gaming Tournament
·
Activities that will let everyone else know how great guys are- maybe volunteer at a senior citizen home, find a way to help the homeless, etc.
·
Guy Talk- conversations about things that matter to 5th and 6th grade boys
·
“Field Trips”- go on a local hike, maybe a visit to a place like funplex?
These are just some ideas but ALL of the ideas will ultimately be decided on by the boys who join the Gender Defenders.
I will be heading up this club this year and am very excited about it. Any 5th and 6th grade boys who are interested, should attend the informational meeting next week. The form with the permission slip is attached to this webpage. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Speaking of Reading...Do you know the difference between a Caldecott Medal Winner and a Newberry Medal Winner?

Last year, a student gave me a book titled 1,001 Ways to Save the Earth by Joanna Yarrow. Each time I update my page, I will also update a tip on how we can GO GREEN!!!!!!
Turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth saves up to 10 quarts of water each time. Assuming two brushings a day, that adds up to more than 500,000 quarts of water in a person's lifetime.
