Lego Club Grades 1-3
Tuesdays 2:40-4:00 p.m.
Parent Volunteer(s):  Needed!
Contact Info: Email [email protected] if you are interested in volunteering. With more volunteers, we could possibly expand the program two sessions to include K-5.
Come and explore creativity and design through Legos.  Every week kids will experience an exciting new project - build a spaceship, skyscraper, free play, etc.  The kids will be encouraged to create whatever they want based on the theme.  Each child will be given the opportunity to do show-and-tell with their creation to the class. Sunnyside's Lego Club was started in 2010 by a very dedicated Mom and team of parents.  It continues to be parent-run and is always looking for more parent volunteers.
