CLUBS

Here are some potential ideas for clubs. Students and teachers will work together to figure out which clubs can benefits students. Even though they will be extracurricular activities, clubs will fit within the school mission statement, culture and values.

QUESTIONS:

What else should we offer?

What would you want to lead?

WHAT ABOUT SPORTS?

If Borman splits into two, what will happen to sports? This is a very serious question that needs further discussion.

Here are some potential possibilities:

1 - No sports program, but students can participate at another middle school in the district. The down side is that we would end up missing out on some of the great school spirit and cohesion needed for our school.

2 - A smaller sports program, offering fewer sports, but still allowing for us to be very competitive. (For example, in the fall, we would offer soccer or volleyball, but not both - or we would only have a varsity team for both sports, but not a junior varsity team). The down side is whether there is the money to start a whole new sports program and whether we can build the necessary infrastructure to make it happen.

3 - Finding a way for Borman and our school to become a combined team for sports only. The down side here is whether this would be allowed during restructuring. It might not qualify in the areas of separate facilities.
