Clubs and organizations are a great way to help develop character and the skills that will benefit you in school, your career, and in life. Skills like commitment, leadership, effective communication, and being able to work successfully in a group all come from participating in a club or organization. Joining a club is a great way to make friends, develop leadership skills, and boost your college resumé.
Oakland Park Elementary offers 4 clubs.
Coding Club
Code/Art clubs are creative coding clubs that meet weekly either in person or online and are for 3rd-8th grade girls and non-binary students. Club participants learn web and mobile app development, 3D modeling, game design, and tools for digital art and design.

Spanish Club
The Spanish Club at Oakland Park Elementary promotes awareness and/or appreciation of Hispanic culture. It provides exciting experiences for our students inside and outside the school like in The District Elementary Academic Competition where every year our students have the opportunity to participate in declamation, dancing, acting, create projects and posters, demonstrating knowledge of the Spanish language and culture they are learning. Bravo OPE Spanish Club!
SECME Science Club -
What does Secme stand for in school? Science, Engineering, Communication, Mathematics and Enrichment (SECME) club and STEM activities for competitions. Some of our students will compete against other schools by designing and building Water Bottle Rockets and Mousetrap Cars
VEX Robotics Club- Students will build a robot and compete against other schools. All students are natural scientists and engineers. They love to question, tinker, experiment and play. VEX competitions foster these skills and capitalize on the motivational effects of competitions and robotics to help all students create an identity as a STEM learner. VEX competitions are also a great way to expose students to valuable soft skills like communication, collaboration and time-management in a fun and authentic way.
