Wood Acres offers a variety of age-appropriate clubs and after-school activities to our students. Offerings for the 2009-2010 school year include chess, chorus, drama, private music lessons, and Junior Beta Club.
Wood Acres students are also eligible to participate in a variety of national academic honors programs starting in the Fourth Grade.
The Wood Acres School provides the Tree House Club (before and after school care) for students enrolled during the academic year and/or summer camp. This program is provided as an optional service to families and offers supervised time for play, special activities, and study on all days when school is in session.
The Wood Acres Honorary Junior Beta Club membership is by invitation and application for Wood Acres 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who possess the desire to join this great national organization.
Beta Club members become campus leaders and Wood Acres representatives in our community and state. What a great way to learn some amazing life lessons!
The Wood Acres School Chorus is offered to Wood Acres students starting in Third Grade.
Auditions are held in the band & chorus room in the Multi Purpose Building. Parents are welcome to attend, too!
We will have a concert at the end of the first semester, complete with bow ties and cummerbunds and great music to share with our adoring audiences!
Welcome to “Trotamundo”, the The Wood Acres School’s theatrical troupe!
“Trotamundo” literally means traveling the world in the Spanish language, as theatrical troupes did in Europe, the Far East, and in the Americas during the beginning years of entertaining audiences. What a perfect name for our Wood Acres troupe as they begin their dramatic journey to perform a worldwide selection of plays and musicals for our enjoyment. Move over, Alliance Theater! Trotamundo is about to take the school performance world by storm!
Fourth through Seventh graders are invited to audition. Note that we will be extending the Drama Club to the Third Grade in the second semester of the 2009-2010 school year.
Wood Acres is proud to offer quality, private music lessons for your child as part of “The Woods” after school program for the 2009/10 school year.
Private lessons in piano, guitar and band instruments (to complement the 5th, 6th, and 7th grade bands) are offered to your child. These unique, interactive lessons are 30 minutes in length and meet once each week.
In addition to weekly lessons, your child will have the opportunity to perform in a Spring Recital.
Chess makes kids smart, we make it fun!
Kid Chess is the most popular after school program in metro Atlanta. It is taught on the Wood Acres campus after school.
Chess is a gymnasium for the brain. It builds confidence and provides children with quality time to learn and be with friends. Furthermore, it develops a wide range of cognitive skills including analysis, planning, problem solving, focus and memory. Chess also empowers children to feel accomplished.
