Explanation of Club’s Activities

TUTORING

For all students that are failing, tutoring is mandatory.  For students that are falling behind or having difficulties with a subject, tutoring is available.  Every subject has its assigned tutoring day where teachers will be available.

STUDY HALL

Students that simply seek a quiet place to finish homework can go to study hall.  If a student is not signed up for a club but is at the school after 4:15, they will be assigned study hall until their ride home is available. 

SPORTS

This year Pegasus has added several sports to its after school program.  We have already began practice towards volleyball and 7-man football and we be participating in basketball and soccer in the spring.  Practice dates are different for each sport.

WEEKLY CLUBS (You can choose clubs from this list)

There are several clubs conducted by teachers that are available once a week on a certain day.  In these clubs, students can sign up and participate in a range of activities.  Participation in these clubs are mandatory as there are only a limited number of spots in most clubs.  The following is a description of each club.

MONDAY

Chess (4-8): In chess students can learn the game as well as sharpen their chess skills.  Opportunities to compete in separate school, city-wide and state tournaments throughout the year are also available.

Sewing (4-6): With veteran high school art teacher Noel Naverrete, students will create and design their very own pillows and quilts while learning the joys of using threads and needles.   

Spelling Bee (4-8): Preparing students to compete in separate city-wide and state-wide spelling bee competitions, students can practice words and strategies for spelling competitions.

TUESDAY

Piano (4-8): Open to all students regardless of their music class, Piano club will give students the time to learn piano basics as well as increase any prior knowledge.

In this club students can receive additional practice on their string

instruments.  The club is available for both students and non-students

of the Strings class. 

Literature/ Crafts (4-6): Students will work on building arts and crafts that will correlate with the children’s book at that time.  The club will spend half of its time reading and the remaining time working on art projects based on the book.

Youth & Government (7-8): Limited to select students, Youth and Government is a Y.M.C.A. sponsored event that introduces students to the legislative branch of government.  Students will prepare a new law and present the bill at S.M.U. in front of a mock congress consisting of junior high students.  Winners from the district and regional competition will have the opportunity to compete against the other regional winners on the Capitol floor in Austin.

THURSDAY

Portal Production (4-8): The portal is the weekly newsletter sent to parents concerning school events and headed up by history teacher Amy Fryer.  In this club, students can gain required community service hours as they help in the necessary production of the newsletter.

Art (7-8): Art enthused students from beginners to advanced can come after school to receive more personal attention as well as have the opportunity to compete in several art contests. 

Downtown Discovery (4-6): Each Thursday students will walk to different locations downtown to sketch in their sketch book.  They will visit different buildings from the old court house to the Grassy Knoll.   Because the club is off campus students cannot be picked up until they return at 5:00.

FRIDAY

Swimming (4-5): With the luxury of having a full size competition pool on the first floor of the Y.M.C.A., Pegasus will continue to offer swimming lessons and practice to its students.  The fee is one dollar a practice and students can learn the basics of all of the different swimming strokes.  However, in order to participate, a Physical Examination must be completed at a doctor’s office and submitted to the school.  

Movie (4-8): If not participating in swimming, a movie is available to watch on Fridays.  Each week a different movie will be played in the computer room.
