Student Clubs

 

 

Art Club, is a unique creative outlet designed specifically for students in 3rd through 8th grade!

Art Club provides a tactile, studio-style space where students can step away from screens and immerse themselves in the physical world of creation.

In Art Club, we embrace the beauty of the creative process. It is a vibrant space where students have the opportunity to think creatively, work collaboratively with peers, solve unique design problems, and—most importantly—get messy!

Throughout the year, our young artists will expand and build a large repertoire of visual art-based skills. They will dive into a diverse range of artistic styles and techniques, including:

• Drawing and Painting
• Printmaking
• Fiber Arts
• Sculpting

Art Club is more than just making crafts; it is about building confidence, encouraging critical thinking, and fostering a lifelong appreciation for the arts. We look forward to seeing the incredible masterpieces and growth our students will achieve this year.

The History Explorers Club is designed to help students develop a love of history by learning about and visiting the many historic sites in and around Volusia County.

Online club meetings will be used to plan upcoming site visits, which will typically take place on Saturday mornings. Families are encouraged to participate in these visits together. The more participants we have, the more enjoyable the experience will be for everyone.

Permission forms will be required for Volusia Virtual Solutions (VOL) students. Families are responsible for providing transportation and supervising their students during all site visits.

Some locations may charge admission fees. These fees are the responsibility of each family and are typically paid directly to the site on the day of the visit.

Activities and learning experiences at each location will be led by Mr. Dunaway and student leaders. While attendance at site visits is encouraged, we understand that families may have prior commitments. Students are welcome to participate whenever their schedules allow.

We look forward to exploring the rich history of our community together!

Meeting dates: Every Tuesday schools in session.

Lego Club is for LEGO lovers and provides a unique opportunity for ALL students (K – 12) to engage in creative play. Led by an instructor this club includes a variety of free build projects and LEGO kits to inspire challenge, fun group activities, and free play. Through Lego, students explore the possibilities of creativity, problem solving and challenge-based engineering activities while having fun! Students can choose to work independently or with a partner or group to design and create their Lego inventions. Every Lego Club day has a theme, and students are encouraged to build a creation based on that theme. (Note: If they want to ignore the theme and do their own thing, that's fine, too. We support creativity!).

The National Honor Society membership is by invitation only and has been the true mark of student achievement for over 100 years, but it goes far beyond a report card. By empowering, championing, and recognizing well-rounded students, NHS provides schools with a values-based framework to elevate a culture of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

FIRST LEGO League introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to children in grades 2-8 through fun, exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's students and teachers build a better future together. The students work out a solution to a problem related to the theme (changes every year) and then meet for regional, national and international tournaments to compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.

In this club, students will work in groups to build a robot, learn to drive/control the robot, and add attachments to make it more resilient in a brawl against others. Just like the tv show Battle Bots, students will compete against other teams within Volusia County to see which robot will take the trophy home.

VOL Run Club – Now Open for Grades 6–12! 

We are excited to launch the VOL Run Club for Volusia Online Learning students in grades 6–12!

The goal of the club is to give our students another way to connect with other VOL students, stay active, set personal goals, and have fun outside of the virtual classroom.

Most of our club interaction will take place through our private VOL Run Club group on Strava. After a student completes the registration form and is approved to participate, they will receive information about joining our Strava group.

Students will be able to use the group to share their runs, walks, and other activities, encourage one another, track their progress, and stay connected between our in-person events. Our VOL Run Club Strava group is private, and membership will be limited to students who are invited to join.

Registration is required:
VOL Run Club Sign-Up – Fill out form

Monthly In-Person Group Runs

We also plan to hold monthly in-person group runs at 9:00 AM throughout the school year.

Because VOL students live throughout Volusia County, we do not plan to use the same location for every run. Instead, we will look at where our registered participants are located and select a centralized meeting location for each monthly run with the goal of making it convenient for as many students and families as possible.

Upcoming group run dates are:

November 7 • December 5 • January 16 • February 13 • March 13 • April 17 • May 8

Locations will be announced in advance after registration numbers are reviewed.

Students do not need to be experienced runners to participate. Walking, jogging, and running are all welcome. Whether a student wants to start being more active, improve their running, train toward a personal goal, or simply meet other VOL students, we want them to feel welcome.

We hope the VOL Run Club becomes another opportunity for our students to make friends, reach their goals, and have fun while building a stronger VOL community.
