SMART GIRLS LEADERSHIP TRAINING Wednesdays: 8:45-9:45am Ms. Sellergren.

Art Club: Tuesdays 3:30-4:45pm Ms. Hoverstock. Based on student interest, we will work our way through a variety of mediums and techniques, complete with visits to local studios and with local artists! Only 20 slots available, sign up now!

Bike Club: Wednesdays 3:30-5:30  Ms. Powers. Casey Bike Club meets every Wednesday to ride, learn new cycling skills and learn basic bike mechanics. Students will also have the chance to race against other middle schools and to attend overnight mountain bike camping trips. Over the winter, we will meet indoors to learn bike mechanics. In the Spring, we focus on mountain biking. Students of all abilities are welcome. You don't even need a bike! We have bikes to lend and students who participate regularly and do not own a bike will be given a bike and helmet after attending 10 Bike Club sessions.

Photography: Wednesdays 3:30-5:00pm Ms. Pierpont.  Are you a photo freak—someone who takes pictures of everything and everyone--or would you like to become one? Then the after school Photo Freak Workshop is for you! We’ll take a walking or bus tour around town each week and focus on a theme or idea, such as “It’s a Small World,” where everything you photograph is tiny. You’ll learn how to use the macro (extreme closeup) setting on our Nikon cameras to keep the bugs, blades of grass, stones, and anything else you photograph in focus. Then we’ll come back to campus, download your images and use editing tools to enhance them, and that’s just one week! Classes meet from 3:30-5 each Wednesday afternoon and the cameras are provided. You’ll need parent permission to leave campus—we’ll have three New Vista High School photo freaks joining us each week. Sign up now—there’s a 15 student limit. First meeting is Jan. 11 in the library. Commit to all 20 workshops,  10, or just 5. Sign up with Ms. Taylor in the office.

Cheer Team: Wednesdays 3:30-5pm. Go Casey Go! Learn cheers, dance moves and have lots of fun supporting the Casey Cubs! Taught by Boulder High School Cheerleaders.

360 Leaders: 1st/3rd Wednesdays of the Month 7:40-8:40 Ms. Wheeler. "360 Leadership" is designed to help develop leadership skills by offering students opportunities to engage in real-life projects that build a stronger Casey community and support a positive school culture.  Skills students develop include:  mentorship, creative problem-solving, organization, public-speaking, commitment, and teamwork. While this class is designed for Casey360 leaders, all Casey students interested in this opportunity are invited to attend.

CU Science Discovery: Physics of Flight, Thursdays 3:30-5:30pm. Jan 23-March 16th.
Build frisbees, kites and paper airplanes! Learn the aerodynamics of flight as we build our own flying objects. Using the Bernoulli’s principle and other laws of physics, we will investigate helicopters, boomerangs, and other things that fly, float and soar.
