Clubs at Washington Elementary
Washington Elementary offers various clubs for our students in addition to activities and clubs sponsored by the community. The clubs are offered at various times through the school year.
Orchestra
The Mount Vernon Community School District is fortunate to have a strong orchestra program for 4th through 12th grade students. Stringed instruments are demonstrated to 3rd grade students in the spring. Students and parents decide which instrument to learn so lessons can begin in the summer and continue through the 4th grade year. Please contact our orchestra teacher, Tabitha Rasmussen, at trasmussen@mvcsd.org if you would like to learn more about the program.
Drum Club
Washington Elementary music teacher, Kristi Keast, and the middle school music teacher, Kristin Anderson, began a drum club several years ago for students in 3rd through 6th grades. The students typically meet twice a week for about six weeks in the late fall. Please contact Kristi Keast at kkeast@mvcsd.org or Kristin Anderson at kanderson@mvcsd.org.
Chorus Club
Our music teacher, Mrs. Keast, also sponsors a chorus club for 3rd and 4th grade students in January and February. Students meet in the music room after school once a week. The club ends with a concert for the community to enjoy.
Archery Club
Fourth grade students have the opportunity to participate in archery club with middle and high school students. Practices begin in November. You may email the club organizer at mvarchery1@gmail.com.
