Extracurricular Opportunities: K-12 Overview

Extracurricular Opportunities: K-12 Overview

One goal of ESM’s Youth Development and Leadership Team is for all students to participate in one or more extra-curricular clubs or activities. Involvement fosters connections and helps students develop positive relationships while offering an opportunity to use communication and collaboration skills. We offer a variety of age-appropriate opportunities based on current student interests to encourage involvement. This list is for general purposes and is subject to change. These are examples of extracurricular activities and sports that may be offered at ESM:

  • Each elementary school offers different co-curricular and extra-curricular activities ranging from serving on the Banking Board for the Bank at School program to student council, intramurals, academic and fitness-oriented clubs. Check with your child’s school to see what is offered. There are also programs offered outside the district through separate organizations that include East Syracuse Minoa Youth Sports, East Syracuse Minoa Little League and ESM Pop Warner Football/Cheerleading as well as local YMCA, Scouting and other programs.
