Activities

  • Thank you for your interest in this activity. 

    Any Woodside student may join Builders Club, even 6th graders! 
    It is a club sponsored by the Times Corner chapter of the Kiwanis organization. This is an organization steeped in the belief that we are all capable of making the world a better place for all children by doing service projects. This is exactly what we do in Builders Club. We explore the needs of children in our immediate community. Members take the initiative to identify the most pressing needs of children and create service projects to fill those needs. 

    Of course we do have fun while doing this! So come join us and make a difference. 

    Builders Club will meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 2:30 - 3:30 P.M.
