Marshdale Singers is an extracurricular choir, led by Mrs. Gaffney, for 3rd-5th graders at Marshdale. We sing, we move, we perform, and we have a lot of fun! We perform for parents and Marshdale students.

A program designed for students who enjoy building LEGO® sets independently. Each week, students choose from a wide variety of themed sets, or dive into our "free build" LEGO® bins to create from their own imagination. Builders work independently or in small groups while Camp Brick instructors offer guidance, tips, and support. Occasional fun challenges add a social element, and students wrap up each class by sharing their creations.

Led by Coach K, this is an action-packed, hands-on club where students build essential real-world habits through active movement, interactive skill labs, and play!

Overtime Athletics (OTA) uses multi-sport programs & camps to benefit children physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Our program introduces the fundamentals of 20 different sports (including Pickleball this year!) in a non-competitive environment. Children in Overtime Athletics routinely gain greater confidence and learn to combine fitness with fun.

Students become game designers for nine weeks. They build a character out of craft supplies and give it a power, design a game level with obstacles and a goal, play the part of enemy AI by following if-then rule cards, invent an AI-powered power-up, and design a boss with three phases. In a few sessions the instructor photographs their builds and the class watches an AI try to identify what it is seeing. The session ends with Game Launch Day, a gallery walk with awards and certificates. NOTE: Students are never on devices. There are no tablets, no laptops, and no accounts. The only screen in the room is the instructor's, and no child touches it.

The Audubon Society offers Explore More!, a 7 week program for students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Each class consists of a short nature-based lesson followed by games, art projects, nature journaling and hikes, of course! Meets in a designated school location and then heads outside to explore.
