Intramural Sports: Intramurals is an after school sports program open to all fourth and fifth grade Heatherwood students. The program expands the fourth and fifth grade physical education curriculum to provide students, who so choose, an opportunity for further skill application in a more competitive setting. This is a time for students to appreciate their personal skill level as they learn more about blending with the diverse skill levels of their peers in a competitive game situation.

Science Fair and Learning Fair: All students are highly encouraged all to participate in the Science Fair in January and the Learning Fair in April. The Science/Learning Fair creates an atmosphere of inquiry and exploration. Students proudly present their scientific projects to reviewers, other students and parents. The quality of experiments and conceptual knowledge of science learning is very high. Students do a wonderful job of presenting their data and conclusions. Science Fair projects follow the format of asking a question, forming a hypothesis (an educated guess about the answer), testing your hypothesis with a procedure using certain materials, documenting your results and coming to a conclusion about your question. Science Fair packets are available from your child’s classroom teacher. Science Fair boards are available in the office for $3.00.
Learning Fair projects present interests that students have in a certain subject or area beyond science. Students might demonstrate how you perform creative dance movements, write your own songs or present what you know about a specific subject such as rocks and minerals. Students also may become involved in community service projects. Many community service projects take planning and coordination to provide a service to those in need. Examples of previous projects are: Bonfils Blood Drive at school, Beads for Life, Supplies for the Homeless Shelter, Adopt a pet at the Humane Society, Supplies for an orphanage in China and many other community service projects.

Grade Level Field Trips: To participate in field trips, a permission slip will be sent home with each student for every field trip. This slip must be signed by a parent and returned to the teacher prior to the outing. Students without signed permission slips will not be allowed to participate in the trip. Parent volunteers are usually needed to help accompany students on these excursions. Parents who will be driving students will need to complete and return to the office a BVSD driver form, along with a copy of their driver’s license and their insurance declaration page. For insurance reasons, siblings are not allowed on class field trips.
