Three new additional extracurricular activities are in the works to be rolled out for this year.

Please make sure to see the Boosters table in the auditorium on Wednesday evening, during the Open House, to get more information about each.

CANS Basketball

We will be rolling out this winter with practices to start in November and games to start shortly after. Practices will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Chase School gym.

Games will be held on Saturdays at the CRC gym. To participate your child has to be in 2nd grade.

We are looking for parent volunteers to coach and help on game days. To signup to help volunteer or to receive additional information about registration please see the Booster table during the open house or contact Boosters at Cansbooster@gmail.com

Girl Scouts

We will be starting Girl Scouts in October. We are currently in need of parent volunteers to help with leading troops. Students K-5 can participate.

We were looking to have meetings held on every other Friday after school, but may need to move to different day and time based on parent volunteer availability.

Please see the Booster table during the Open House if you are interested in your daughter participating or if you are interested in volunteering. If you can’t make it to the open house please contact boosters at Cansbooster@gmail.com

Cub Scouts

We are partnering with the Clifton Boy Scouts troop, one of the oldest troops in the area, to offer Scouts to your sons and daughters and is open to students K-5. Clifton Cub Scouts serve youth living and going to school in the neighborhood of Clifton in Cincinnati, Ohio and the surrounding area.

New Parents: check out the Parents page on their site and the Parent's Guide in the Files area for more information about Scouting and the Pack. www.cliftoncubs.org

Meetings are typically at Calvary Episcopal Church (Red Door), 3766 Clifton Avenue
