The Student Council presents a forum for learning the democratic process and for developing leadership skills. They also sponsor fund raisers to earn money to pay for assemblies, field trips and other special events. At lunchtime students may play on the playground or participate in interest clubs. These clubs pursue interest in computers, ecology, yearbook, team games and jump roping. The clubs sponsor school wide events including recycling, Rain Forest preservation, the National Heart Association Jump Rope for Heart event and tournaments.
Students also have the opportunity to attend parent sponsored clubs that meet after school.
These include Odyssey of the Mind groups, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. Trips away from the school site also provide rich learning experiences. Fifth grade classes attend a week of Outdoor Science School in the Santa Cruz mountains and sail in a Tall Ship in Monterey Bay. Fourth graders visit San Juan Bautista Mission, engage in on hands activities at Cooper Molera Adobe and Custom House, and participate in a Gold Country Expedition in the Mother Lode Country. Students with academic or behavior problems may be referred to the Team for Educational Assistance.
