Middle School Challenge
Program
Sponsored by the Wenatchee Central Lions Club
Bulldog
Challenge - Orchard Middle School
Falcon
Flyers - Foothills Middle School
Pioneer
Challenge - Pioneer Middle School
Although the Challenge
Program is slightly different in each of the three middle schools,
the primary goals are the same:
• Success
in academics
• Citizenship
• Participation in school, community or family service
• Participation in school or community activities and/or sports
• Development of leadership skills
• Career exploration
All middle school
students are invited to participate in this challenging program.
Besides the satisfaction of achieving high goals, some of the incentives
are seminars, medals, trophies and field trips.
Each building
offers seminars that inspire students to set goals for future achievements.
Seminar topics may include: Programs at the Wenatchee High School
in the Visual and Performing Arts, Clubs and Activities, Directed
Study, and Preparing for Honors and Advanced Placement Classes.
Field trips are
also a part of the Challenge Program. Students who complete the gold
level of achievement will be able to go on a field trip at the end
of the year that is educational and fun. Sixth grade students will
take a field trip to Central Washington University to tour the campus
and the Chimposium, a primate research lab. At the end of 7th grade, students can
look forward to a trip to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle
and a tour of the University of Washington campus. Eighth graders
will spend a day exploring marine biology on a research ship in Puget
Sound.
The program receives
some funding from the Wenatchee Central Lions Club.
