Beachside Elementary has expanded its offering of clubs and activities in its aim "to foster a love for learning, creativity, and personal growth among our students," Principal Leigh Prokop said in a statement to the Observer.

The new school's new Flag Corps marched in the Ormond Beach Christmas parade in December. Prokop said this allowed students to showcase their skills and school spirit to the community.

"Their participation not only highlighted their hard work but also brought a sense of pride to our school," she said.

Beachside also established its first National Honor Society Chapter this school year, recognizing students who are excelling academically and demonstrate leadership qualities. The chapter

provides students with opportunities for community service and leadership skill development.

Additionally, Beachside's new Robotics Club won first place in the district competition. 

"This achievement is a testament to the dedication and ingenuity of our students and their mentors," Prokop said. "The club provides a platform for students to explore the fascinating world of robotics, coding, and engineering, preparing them for future careers in STEM fields."

The school also continues to maintain its existing clubs, which includes the Garden Club, the Cooking Club, its Beachside Beats music club and Art Club.

Beachside offers several morning programs for students, such as the Reading Lab and its Triple F fact fluency club which reinforces math skills.
