BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB:
The Book of the Month is a "student run" club under the supervision of Mrs. Baumann and Mr. Barona. Participants get together at the monthly meeting and participate in an in-depth discussion about the novel read. Club members vote on future selections, which are distributed at each meeting. There is no cost for the books and membership remains open throughout the year.

CHESS CLUB:
Chess Club is off to a great start this year. We have a wide range of skills in the club, including some students that are just learning how to play right now. So far we're practicing our skills and sportsmanship and looking forward to some "in-club" tournaments. There's even talk about using timers sometimes to speed the games up! With close to forty members, Chess Club could hold bragging rights as the most popular club!

MATH OLYMPIADS:
Math Olympiads advisor is Mrs. Johnson. Math Olympiads meet on Wednesday from 3:30 – 4:30 through March. Math Olympiads practice challenging math word problems and have competitions once a month. The high-scorer will receive a trophy at club’s end.

JOURNALISM CLUB:
Journalism Club has begun with much enthusiasm this year! All 25 journalists are working hard to complete the monthly newsletter. This year the Pulaski Press will be published for all students! The newsletter will include articles about Pulaski Street School, school and community sports, community events, poems and short stories. The club advisor is Mrs. Hubbard and they meet on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:30 PM.

TECHNOLOGY TEAM:
The Technology Team advisor is Mrs. Gorman. Technology Team meets on Mondays from 3:30 – 4:30. Mrs. Gorman reports that students have gotten off to a good start but that there is still lots of work to be done. Students are learning about web design and animation with Macromedia Flash. We also create web pages on staff and students.

We will need:
Student work – including poetry, short stories, art work
WE NEED DONATIONS – used ink cartridges (laser or desk jet)
& old cell phones for our recycling program. Don’t throw it out; give US a SHOUT!

NATURE CLUB:
Pulaski Street School’s Nature Club took it’s last outing of the year by hiking through the Cranberry Bog County Park. This nature preserve is also home to New York’s largest remaining coastal plain Atlantic white cedar swamp. This was just one of five outings that included an exploration of sea animals at the Peconic Bay Beach; a beach cleanup at Reeves Beach on Long Island Sound, an afternoon of bird watching at Indian Island County Park, and a hike through a forest that has grown on the sediment that was deposited during the ice ages at Penny Pond. The Nature Club is sponsored by RCSD and Cornell Cooperative Extension. The Nature Club, which is for 20 very committed 5th graders, met after school from 3:30-5:00 PM for five weeks. The students involved love it!
