No student is turned away or cut from the teams. We also have a newspaper club that create a newspaper for our Connell community several times a year. Depending on student interest, we have also provided a chess club for our students. The girls also can take part on the cheerleading team that is assembled each year. We have some of our older students participating in a mentoring program with our primary grades.
Students have the opportunity to join our chorus, and or band.
Children also can join our Boy and Girl Scout affiliates. JoAnna School is now in the midst of running several fund raisers for the purpose of building a new playground for our students and neighborhood community. The neighborhood school concept is followed in the Erie School District. Theme schools, however, allow students to select a different school environment to attend. Special needs students attend their neighborhood schools unless their Individual Educational Plan indicates a need to provide transportation to another appropriate site to meet their instructional plans.
