Green screen technology allows us to embed photos and backgrounds. Prerecorded segments are interwoven with live segments to share birthdays, awards, as well as keep our students up to date on projects and field trips.

Honor Choir

Beaver Tech Honor Choir is an auditioned group of sixty 4th and 5th graders. Students rehearse after school on selected days throughout the year.

Joining a choir offers a multitude of benefits beyond the joy of making music. From stress relief and increased confidence to the cultivation of lifelong friendships and the ability to positively impact your community.

Singing in a choir not only adds the beauty of music to you and your child's life but also helps to build strong character traits and increased self esteem.

Art Club

Beaver Tech Art Club students share a love of art, self-expression, and a passion for creating their own artistic personal style. Students are involved in school and community projects to enhance their sense of self while helping others.

It is a place for practicing artists to hone in on their skills, develop their techniques and portfolios, collaborate with other artists, and learn how to work together through group projects that will beautify the school and community.

Beaver Blazers

Beaver Stars, both boys and girls, get fit in the after-school running club.

Students and staff log laps as they total up their heart-pumping miles as they run, walk or jog the school course.

Being a Beaver Blazer helps to build heathy habits and well-being, gain confdence, build camaraderie among students and staff and most of all to have fun.

W.O.W. Time

Each month students visit the W.O.W. Room for thirty minutes of W.O.W. Time with our school counselor. W.O.W. stands for Working on Wellness.

Students learn life-long skills to cultivate their emotional wellness and academic growth. Monthly topics include friendship-making skills, positive self-image, emotional regulation, calm-down strategies, study skills, and many more.

Safety patrol

Each morning and afternoon when you bring your students to school, you will be greeted by our 4th and 5th grade Safety Patrol students in bright orange vests.

Safety Patrol is designed to provide our students with a chance to serve in leadership positions. Members learn to treat each person with courtesy and respect. Safety Patrol's top priority is helping each student arrive and dismiss safely.

The students who participate arrive each morning at 7:25 ready to start the day. Besides the curb patrol position, students man inside stations at key locations. After school, Safety Patrol assists with afternoon dismissal for our bus riders and car riders until 3:45.
