Clubs & Activities

Clubs & Activities

Lynnwood School supports the development of the whole child and offers diverse extracurricular opportunities for student participation. Activities are teacher and student driven and are created based on staff and student interest. The specific clubs and activities offered will vary from year to year. Some examples of clubs and activities that have run in the past are: 

We also have many field trips and guest performers that support curriculum. Our Parent Council assists to subsidize both field trips and guest performers through School Council fundraising activities.

Student Leadership

Students at Lynnwood School are provided with many opportunities to be leaders in the school. Some of those options are: school patrols, milk sellers, intramural referees, student announcers, CLS mentors, and classroom leadership opportunties. 

Community Service

Our students, staff and families support and organize many local and international community service projects throughout the year. Some of the community service projects completed in recent years include: Terry Fox Run, Santa’s Anonymous, Jump Rope for Heart, Edmonton Food Bank, Poppy Sales, Operation Candy, Valentines for Seniors, collecting hats and mittens to donate to children at other schools, and the Mustard Seed.

Character Education

Lynnwood School has been incorporating the work of Michelle Garcia Winner and the program she designed called Social Thinking (socialthinking.com). This methodology assists with teaching students important social competencies including:

• Self-regulation
• Social-emotional learning
• Executive functioning
• Perspective taking
• Social problem solving

This in turn assists our students to have increased awareness of themselves in the present moment, to feel positive about themselves, others and property, and to act instead of react.

The Social Thinking curriculum is explicitly taught through targeted lessons as well as integrated into Alberta Education curriculum through cross curricular opportunities. Social Thinking is also provided as an intervention for students who may need one on one or small group assistance.
