Extracurriculars

Maddux Elementary offers many extracurricular opportunities to students to empower them to explore a wide variety of interests and develop life skills. Several of these activities are financially supported by the PTO.

Student Council

Student Council is made up of fifth and sixth grade students who meet regularly before school throughout the year. They have many opportunities for leadership through service projects, school spirit activities and fundraisers, including raising funds to create awareness of and support charities. Past activities have included supporting local food pantries and organizations that support those in need.

Good Apples

Good Apples are sixth-grade volunteers who help others at school. Once a week, these students develop leadership skills and an awareness of others in need by volunteering where needed. Many students choose to help former teachers with classroom needs, read with younger students or assist in the main office.

End-of-Day Bus Helpers

Bus helpers are sixth-grade students who help ensure student safety by helping teachers watch school doors, students and sidewalk activity during arrival and dismissal times.

Maddux Runs

Started in 2012, the Maddux running program has grown each year with students in grades three through six participating. Students, as well as many staff and parent volunteers, meet after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from February through May to prepare to participate in the Forest Hills Foundation’s 5K in May.

Enrichment Activities

The Maddux PTO offers a wide variety of after-school enrichment opportunities that change throughout the school year. Please visit the PTO website for up-to-date information on current activities being offered to students. An example of some typical programs include Spanish, Better Babysitters and pickleball.
