Extracurriculars

Chamber Orchestra is an extracurricular orchestra for any 6th, 7th, or 8th grader who already plays a string instrument and who would like the challenge of playing more difficult music. Please email Ms. May at mays@hawthorn73.org with any questions, or stop by the music suite before or after school.

In game club, students will compete in various competitions and play fun board/card games with their peers. There will be a featured game for each meeting, but students are more than welcome to play other available games. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to play Chess, or improve their existing skills.

Math Team is for students who love to think "out of the box" to tackle challenging math problems. High-level reasoning skills are part of the rigorous preparation for math team competitions. Top competitors will be selected to participate in the competitions.

The Illinois Science Olympiad is a fun and exciting competition where middle school and high school students from all over the state come together to show off their science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills. Teams from different schools compete in a bunch of cool events—like building towers, launching planes, solving crimes (like real detectives!), and answering science questions.

Each team has around 15 students, and everyone gets to pick events they’re good at or interested in. Some events are tests, others are hands-on challenges, and some involve building things ahead of time.

The goal? Work together, learn new things, and have a blast doing science! You even get the chance to win medals and trophies—and if your team does really well, you can move on to the state or even national competition!

Meetings: TBD

Come get creative with sewing, knitting and crocheting while meeting friends after school!

Get involved at MSS and help make a difference! We will be organizing the Veteran's day breakfast, along with a few other special fun events throughout the year. We also help run the School Store!
