Extracurriculars

Cardboard Arcade is a tuition-based after-school program for 2nd grade students in Northside Independent School District. It is an engineering program where students work in teams or individually to design, test, redesign, retest, and eventually create a working arcade-type game. Students consider game design, rules for playing, and prior science knowledge when designing their games. It's a great opportunity for students to use their imagination and bring it to life!

The Boldt Maverick choir meets once a week on Tuesdays from 3-4:15, preparing for performances for both Veteran's Day and the Winter Fine Arts Night. This group mainly focuses on singing.

Boldt ES's eS2S Military Kids Club is designed to ensure inclusive, quality educational opportunities for all military-connected children affected by mobility, transition, deployments and family separation. As a campus-based military liaison, Mr. Gomez is responsible for serving as the point of contact and working collaboratively between military-connected students and their families and the campus. He and his team attend yearly training to learn and understand topics related to the transition of military-connected students and their families. Both counselors assist with campus-based supports such as small group counseling. The counselors provide services  to military-connected students based on their unique needs, including their high mobility and deployment rate. 

At Boldt Elementary School, whenever a new military family is identified by our office staff, our Military Kids Club Ambassadors step into action. The following are the responsibilities the eS2S Classroom Ambassador  have:

* Giving new students a tour of the school with the help of one of our eS2SSchool Ambassadors.

* Explaining the class rules to a new student.

* Showing new students the ins and outs of how the classroom functions.

* Sitting with the new student at lunch and helping them feel welcome at our campus.

* Helping the student develop an immediate sense of belonging by playing with him/her at recess.

* Introducing the new student to other friends they may have on campus.

Flight Club is a tuition-based after-school program for Kindergarten and First Grade students in Northside Independent School District. It is an engineering program where students work in teams or individually to design, test, and modify 4 tools that interact with air - kites, parachutes, paper airplanes, and simple rockets. Students learn about the basic principles of flight and design when creating each of these tools. It's a great opportunity for students to challenge their thinking and gives them hands-on ways to see how these tools are built and how they work!

Tomorrow’s innovators practice imaginative thinking and teamwork. Guided by adult Coaches, FIRST LEGO League teams research a real-world problem such as food safety, recycling, energy, etc., and are challenged to develop a solution. They also must design, build, program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology, then compete on a table-top playing field.

It all adds up to tons of fun while they learn to apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts (STEM), plus a big dose of imagination, to solve a problem. Along their discovery journey, they develop critical thinking and team-building skills, basic STEM applications, and even presentation skills, as they must present their solutions with a dash of creativity to judges. They also practice the Program’s signature Core Values.

S.N.A.G. is an acronym for Starting New At Golf which is the equipment and curriculum we follow for our Boldt golf club.  The goal of our program is to introduce and expose third grade children to the sport of golf. One of the best reasons to get your child, son or daughter involved with golf is to introduce them to a game of honor and integrity that can be played for a lifetime!

Our golf program will be designed to provide our children with specific skills and rules that insure that participants are introduced to golf in an enjoyable manner.  

 All students who are selected will take part in the decorum of the game. There is an unspoken etiquette that most golf courses have a dress code to play golf.   All club members are required to wear a collared Boldt golf club polo shirt that is tucked in during practices.   Students should wear this polo shirt on Wednesdays.  The only fee associated with this golf club is the purchase of the shirt.

Our program will be comprised of short discussion of golf concepts and demonstration of golf skills using “modeling” techniques and activity based learning. We will have 2 sponsors, Coach Mireles and a parent volunteer from the community.

 Due to equipment availability, we will accept applications for the program.  Applications will then be selected by random lottery draw.The first 10 applications drawn will be eligible for  the Fall Semester and the next 10 drawn will be drawn for the Spring Semester

Respectfully,

Coach Mireles – Boldt
