Extracurriculars

Ottauquechee School has a wide variety of extracurricular activities throughout the year. Extracurricular activities give students a chance to engage with their peers and practice CSR behaviors both inside and outside of the classroom. Activities include:

Garden Club We have two sessions of Garden Club; the Wednesday Gardeners and the Thursday Gardeners. Each group meets once a week in the fall season and one a week in the spring season. Students work in the garden, depending on the season, to prepare soil, plant crops, weed, harvest, cook, and learn about how to care for plants in order to produce a healthy and robust harvest. Master gardener, Paul Sadowski, leads K-5 students and tends the garden in the summer months. Learn more at our Garden Club webpage.
Girls on the Run "We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams." Girls on the Run is for girls in grades 3-5 and is coached by our 5th grade teachers, Sandra Rhoades, Nancy Burke, and Special Educator, Erica LaFond. Ottauquechee’s school team typically meets twice a week and trains for a culminating 5K. Learn more at: www.girlsontherun.org
