The
Bloomingdale Elementary School Student Council initiated the idea to expand our
family concept to teams across grades K-5 and on specific days throughout the
year there would be Team Activities Day. On December 21, 2017, the faculty and staff
organized a Team Craft Day. The entire day
was centered on activities the students did with their team members from the
different grade levels. Older students
helped younger students and children grew relationships with children of other ages through shared learning experiences.
Bloomingdale School is divided into 10 teams and names include: The Bears, The Hurricanes, The
Unicorns and The Angels. The activities
included decorating Sugar Cookie Ornaments, stained glass window decorations
for winter carnival and tree ornaments.
The classes also included a Movement class where younger and older
students helped each other on scooters as well as a Robotics/ Coding class
where students learned to program their own computer applications. Through all this activity, the students were
able to have a time to hear a story and have a cocoa break. Tops Markets provided the hot chocolate for
this very successful day. As the students took their different finished products home to share
with their families many said ”This was the best day ever!” Bloomingdale School is looking forward to
many other successful student initiated activities in the future.
There are many pictures from this day in the Photo Gallery Page. Take a look!
