Cross Country

In the fall, the weather cools, the colors change and the Chance School cross-country team takes off!  Comprised of second- through fifth-graders, team members practice several times a week and compete against area elementary schools in races at the local and state levels.

This is Chance School’s only competitive team – where individuals set their own goals, support their teammates and benefit from a team experience. A fine training ground for further competition at the middle and high school levels, this program helps students develop an enjoyment of running and physical fitness.

Roots and Shoots Chance School Chapter

The mission of Roots and Shoots is to foster respect and compassion for all living things, promote understanding of all cultures and beliefs, and inspire each individual to take action to make the world a better place for the environment. Part of Dr. Jane Goodall’s global environmental and humanitarian youth program, the group is comprised of 22 third- through fifth-grade students, who want to learn about and impact the world beyond their textbooks.

The group meets after school twice a month and participates in various service projects that benefit both Chance School and the community at large.

Girl Scouting at Chance

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts have the opportunity to explore their interests and develop leadership skills while building their community. We offer Girl Scouting to all age levels: Daisies for kindergarten and first grade; Brownies for second and third grades; and Juniors for fourth and fifth grades. After girls graduate from Chance, their Girl Scout Troops stay intact so they can continue to develop the skills they have worked on throughout their Girl Scout experience. Troops meet once or twice a month, and are let by trained volunteers from the Chance community.
