Clubs & Activities

Meets every other month.

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is a non-profit organization led by middle school students who have dedicated themselves to outstanding scholarship, service, leadership and character.  The purpose of this organization is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, to develop character, and to encourage good citizenship in our students.

Next school year, STMS will be having a Student Ambassador Program.  The purpose of the club is for these learners to have an active leadership role in welcoming new learners and creating and maintaining an accepting student environment.  Below, I have listed some possible tasks/expectations of the Ambassadors:

Members will:

1. Provide an introduction for new learners starting during the school year that includes:
   1. A tour of the building, following the new learner’s schedule
   2. Help locating locker and opening if needed.
   3. Provide guidance with Empower, Office 365, and Teams.
   4. Be a buddy at lunch for new learners first several days.
   5. Take extra steps to ensure the student(s) feel connected to our school and are meeting other learners.
2. Assist with materials used to welcome upcoming 6^th graders (possible video to be shown to 5^th graders).

The Zach Holtzman Art Academy, sponsored by the HANNA Education Foundation, is open to 7th and 8th grade students who love art, enjoy being creative, and who are interested in exploring a variety of art forms.

Math Counts is a national program designed to promote middle school mathematics achievement. At our school, students in the Math Counts Club meet to practice problem-solving skills through activities such as Math 24 and other math-based games. These sessions provide opportunities for students to strengthen their speed, accuracy, and critical thinking in preparation for the annual Math Counts competition. Selected students represent the school in a regional contest, competing against peers from other schools.

The Science Fair club is an extracurricular activity that students can volunteer to participate in. The main goal of our science fair is to question the world around us, so we can conduct scientific method procedure to collect data and come to an understanding about our questions we ask ourselves.

Currently, our STMS Science Fair is grounded at Susquehanna Township Middle School, but we are currently working on expanding our horizons to take our students to participate and compete in the Capital Area Science & Engineering Fair.

Game Club allows students to have fun and participate in creative, cooperative games. Our main focus is Dungeons and Dragons, which allows students to work together to overcome challenges collaboratively. Students will be given the opportunity to be creative and create an alternate version of themselves as a character in a fantasy setting.
