Clubs & Activities

Throughout the year, staff members offer a variety of activities to broaden children's experiences. These are done on a voluntary basis by our staff.

At Kirkness we offer the following activities and clubs:

AMA Safety Patrollers

At Kirkness School students participate in the AMA School Safety Patrollers program. The Kirkness School AMA Student Patrollers are in grade 5 and 6 and are responsible for instructing, directing, and controlling the safe passage of Kirkness School students at the crosswalk at the beginning and end of the school day.
