Extracurricular Activities

Enrichment Activities

Enrichment Classes are open to all grades. Offered in three sessions throughout the school year, activities are from 3:30-4:30. The activities are led by teachers, parents, and community members and include an array of choices such as LEGO Club, Role Playing, and arts and crafts such as woodworking. Classes are taught in German and English. Contact Andrew Mangan for more information. 

Konzert Band

Konzert Band is for students in grades 5-8 who take music lessons outside of TCGIS. We meet on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30. Please see the TCGIS Band website for further information, or contact Krista Johnson. 

Library Club

Library club members plan a library event, design and set up monthly book-related displays in the library, and "adopt" a bookshelf to keep organized. There are two sessions per year, one in the fall and one in the spring. We meet on Wednesdays.

Girl Scouts

A Girl Scout troop for TCGIS students began in 2015. The troop is multi-level for students in grades K-8, as well as a group for TCGIS alums. The troop has provided services for the school, neighborhood, and community, as well as fun and educational activities. If you are interested, contact Kirsten Holmlund at [email protected]. ​

Math Club

The TCGIS Math team is an opportunity for 6th - 8th grade students interested in additional mathematical challenges beyond what they are experiencing in class. Math team meets once a week from mid-September through the end of April for an hour. This year, the math team will represent TCGIS in three different math competitions: the Minnesota State Junior High School League, Math Counts, and the American Mathematics Competition. In practices, students learn tips and strategies for solving common mathematical problems and hone their skills in mock competitions. At meets, they compete in individual and team competitions. At the end of the season, the team will celebrate their accomplishments with an end-of-the-year party. More information here! Please contact Herr Graf for more information.
