Extracurriculars

As a way to promote physical activity and teamwork, Passmore Elementary provides both basketball and cheerleading clubs to our 4th and 5th grade students. Sponsored and led by teachers from our campus, these clubs provide an outlet for the development of the whole child through extracurricular activities such as these. Students develop grit and endurance through teamwork and practice.

The Cyber Security Club will prepare students with an understanding of Cyber Security foundations. The content is taken from UTSA’s Cyber Security teams CIAS Game so that the club can culminate in inter-district competition using the card game. Cyber Threat Defender (CTD)is a multi-player collectible card game designed to teach essential cyber security information and strategies. CTD is an easy-to-play, engaging game regardless of age or skill level. Players must protect themselves from attacks while building robust networks in order to become a true Cyber Threat Defender!

The Passmore Project ACORN Garden Club helps capture our students' love of gardening in our own "urban gardens" here on campus. The club received funding through the Texas Department of Agriculture to expand our combination gardens of fresh food (vegetables) and native plants (pollinator friendly) so all teachers can use these areas for inquiry-based science and nutrition lessons. We will host a Spring family event to share our harvest and demonstrate how to install gardens at home. This year we received additional funding to participate in Project FeederWatch under the Cornell Lab or Ornithology, as well as install bird feeders, learn proper use of binoculars, and participate in a field experience at Mitchell Lake on March 27th.

STEM Sisters is a 8-week STEM program being offered at Passmore and seven other elementary campuses. We focus on "Engaging Girls in Engineering" by teaching the Engineering Design Process, presenting weekly STEM challenges, and allowing the girls to act as engineers. The goal is to positively impact our students by helping them to realize they have talent and potential for designing and improving technologies.
