Activities/Clubs

National Elementary Honor Society is a service club that offers the chance to our students to give back to their school and community. Hosted by monthly meetings, the club strives to make as much of an impact on those around them as it does to the current and past members. Long running traditions are collecting food for those less fortunate, and cleaning up the St. Johns River. Requirements to be in the club are tough - students need to hold at least a 3.6 GPA and also have all 1's in conduct with their teachers. In addition, students are selected by teachers and approved by administration. Those that are NEHS members know they are setting an example for everyone at the school in order to participate and shape themselves for the future that lies ahead for all of us. For more information, contact Mrs. Matthews, club sponsor. 

Before school each day, the GME Media Center runs the morning News Show. Student duties include technology skills, such as working with iMovie or running the news show, as well as responsibilities like reporting the announcements in a timely and accurate manner. Students on the news crew report daily to the entire school and record the program before school begins each day. News crew members are selected by teacher recommendation and are primarily fifth grade students. Interested students should contact Mrs. Adkins, the News Team sponsor.

Safety Patrol members are 5th-grade students who have the duty and responsibility of serving the school and its members. The patrols are assigned a post in the morning and in the afternoon. On post, they must politely remind students of BARK expectations and help enforce all rules and regulations fairly. To maintain their status as a Safety Patrol member they must maintain satisfactory grades in all classes and have no discipline or attendance issues. They serve for the entire school year and each patrol is a student role model of appropriate and safe behavior. For more information, contact sponsors Mrs. Cambron or Mrs. Pegler.

In 4‑H programs, kids complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. For more information, contact club sponsors Mrs. Pekala or Mrs. Moyer.
