We have new classes this Fall, such as Rock City by Bach to Rock Redmond, Discovering Dinosaurs, and a class exploring dragons, crowns, and knights using Legos. For our older students, we offer Ukelele, cooking (students bring home dinner at the end of each class), and a puppet-making class. Karate, soccer, and chess are back as well. All classes have a grade requirement, and your child must be in the grade listed to attend. This grade requirement ensures that your child receives the best class experience.

Upper Elementary Homework Club Home + Work = Homework. This is one of the most famous equations that all students instinctively know, and yet they sometimes have trouble solving it or finding enough time to do so. To help, Eton School is offering a weekly Homework Club for the Upper Elementary students. Fourth- and fifth-grade students can come to Casa III for Homework Club. They will find a relaxed and academic environment where they can catch up or get ahead on their work. Staff will be available to answer questions and encourage everyone as needed (as well as provide a tasty snack). Homework Club is a drop-in service; so while it is nice to know who is coming, there is no need for advanced notice.

Day/Time: Wednesdays, 3:30-4:30 p.m.

Location: Casa III

Wonderful Writing Club (Grades 4–5) This club to supports the development of basic writing skills in a calm and fun way. During club time, students write all kinds of ways to make it fun but also paying attention to grammar, writing skills and expand the depth of the writing. This more relaxed environment facilitates each student to go beyond their current comfort levels to develop creativity and skillful composition.

Days, Time and Location: TBD

Board Game Club (Grades 5–8) When thinking of board games, many go back to childhood days of playing Monopoly, Sorry!, Risk, and many others; those are still popular, but it is quite remarkable how far the board game industry has come in the last few decades. Games are rich in strategy, probability, reading comprehension, storylines, teamwork, and more, and they fit all of that into a cardboard box that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.

To celebrate and enjoy these delightful games, students from fifth to eighth grade gather once a week for Board Game Club. The students generally learn a new game each week, and then spend the rest of the time playing and bonding with their classmates. It is quite a fine way to spend an afternoon, and we are fortunate that Eton students, families, and staff support and appreciate such endeavors.

For any questions or comments, feel free to contact Pete Kashevarof (pkashevarof@etonschool.org).

Days, Time and Location: TBD

Middle School Homework Club (Grades 6–8) The Middle School Homework Club provides a supportive learning environment for students to complete their homework in a peaceful and quiet after-school setting.

Advanced notice of attendance is appreciated, however, drop-ins are welcome with a note from a parent.
