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.

Pickleball

Pickleball is fun, social, and friendly!The rules are simple, and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a fast-paced, action-packed game. For those and many more reasons, we have decided to bring Pickleball to Cooper City Elementary school. Our 4th and 5th grade students will get the opportunity to be in our Pickleball club. We will be beginning in October and will start on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 am. Stay tuned for more information! -
Safety Patrols
Sponsors: Mrs. Kastler, Mrs. Josack, and Ms. Bushing
Cooper City Elementary is excited to offer the 5th graders the opportunity to be a Safety Patrol. The primary purpose of this character-building program is to enhance the safety of our students and build positive relationships in the school. In addition, this program promotes the development of leadership skills and good citizenship qualities. A safety patrol's job is to model for students the safety rules that have been taught in the classroom, to assist students in safe transitions throughout the school, and to keep students safe on campus by communicating in a positive manner.
The duties of all patrols are to:
§ Compliment students observed following safety rules
§ Fulfill the duties at their designated posts
§ Remind students of safety procedures on school grounds
§ Report for duty on time with their belt clean and worn properly
§ Know and follow Cooper City Elementary’s school-wide expectations
Safety patrols are selected at the end of their 4th grade classroom with input provided from teachers. Consideration is based on leadership qualities, commitment, responsibility, self-discipline, high academic standing and attitude toward others. Being a member of the Safety Patrol is considered "special" and members are expected to
arrive early to school, maintain excellence in their academic studies, and commit to setting an example on and off duty.
* Members of the Safety Patrol must remain in good academic standing in all subject areas and model good behavior choices to remain a Safety Patrol.
