Our Student Council is part of the Arizona Association of Junior High Student Councils. The AAJHSC strives to develop leaders through the following five goals: leadership, academic achievement, school spirit, diversity, and school/community involvement.

Fitness Club
Megan Ward, Coach
Fitness Club provides our elementary students with a fun, active, and supportive environment where they can develop the skills and confidence needed to prepare for our school athletic programs while building lifelong healthy habits. The club emphasizes the importance of physical fitness as part of a well-rounded education, helping students understand that staying active benefits both their physical health and overall well-being. Students participate in a wide variety of engaging activities designed to improve strength, endurance, coordination, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Activities may include hiking, yoga, dance, kickball, obstacle courses, fitness challenges, relay races, cooperative games, and other age-appropriate recreational activities. By exposing students to many different forms of movement, Fitness Club encourages every child to discover activities they enjoy and can continue throughout their lives. In addition to promoting physical activity, Fitness Club helps students develop important life skills such as perseverance, responsibility, goal setting, leadership, and respect for others. Our goal is to foster a positive attitude toward health and fitness while creating a fun, inclusive environment where every student can be active, build friendships, and experience success. Whether students aspire to participate in school sports or simply want to lead a healthier lifestyle, Fitness Club provides a strong foundation for lifelong wellness.

 

8Th Grade Club 
Mrs. Candace Paine, Advisor 
Eighth Grade is a special year at Pine Strawberry School. There are privileges and responsibilities that come along with it. The Eighth Graders meet Wednesday mornings from 7:30-8:00am to discuss class activities and fundraisers. We have class officers that run the meetings and lead the activities. They will be taking several campus tours throughout the school year. They will have one big end of the year trip to SeaWorld in May. The fundraisers go on throughout the year to help with the cost of the end of the year trip. The class will celebrate the culmination of their elementary education at the Promotion Ceremony in May. Parents are encouraged to participate with the planning and set up of promotion. We need parent volunteers all year to help with the various fundraisers. The biggest event is the Fall Festival. We need candy and prizes for that event, and we accept donations of candy and soda for the snack bar all year.  Please email Mrs. Paine if you would like to help or if you have any questions.

 

Visual Arts Club
Mrs. Aimee Manjarres
The Pine Strawberry Visual Arts Club is a volunteer-based after-school program for students in grades 4–8 who have an interest in creativity, artistic expression, and visual arts exploration. The club provides students with opportunities to learn and develop skills in drawing, painting, mixed media, graphic design, photography, and other creative art forms through hands-on projects and collaborative activities. Students will explore a variety of artistic styles, techniques, and creative processes while building confidence, problem-solving skills, and self-expression in a positive and supportive environment. Throughout the year, club members may participate in artist studies, group projects, guest artist opportunities, and an end-of-year student art exposition to showcase their work and celebrate their creativity. The Visual Arts Club meets weekly during the school year and is designed to encourage imagination, collaboration, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
