    Bowie Baysox Reading Incentive Program 

    The Bowie Baysox baseball team sponsors this annual reading incentive program that takes place in early Spring and culminates at a ball game in May.  Students in grades K-5 who read four books receive two free tickets to the ball game. Other family members can purchase tickets at a discount and make this into a family event.  Participants get to walk on the field before the game and be recognized for their reading.  Fireworks and the running of the bases ends the evening.

    SeaPerch   

    This science enrichment club is for students in grade 5.  Student-led teams build and operate underwater robotically-operated vehicles (ROVs). The junior engineers cut and drill PVC pipes, waterproofed motors, and solder wires and a circuit board. Teams present their ROV at the Elementary Expo at the National Electronics Museum in Linthicum, MD. 

    Dance Club   

    This after-school club is for students in grades 4-5 interested in dance.  Participants will learn various styles of dance throughout the year.  The dance company will perform at the annual countywide Dance Festival in February.  

    STEM Fair   

    The STEM Fair at CES is an opportunity for students in grades K-5 to develop a scientific display that shows the results of a science question or engineering problem that they conducted.  The school fair is held in the spring and the first-place winners in grades 3-5 go on to compete in the countywide STEM fair.  

    Girls on the Run

    Girls on the Run is a physical-activity based program that inspires our 3rd through 5th grade girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using fun lessons which creatively integrate running.  We want every girl to know and activate her limitless potential and boldly pursue her dreams.

    We value standing up for ourselves and others, nurturing all parts of our health, embracing differences, recognizing our power and responsibility, expressing joy in our thoughts, words, and deeds, and leading with an open heart.

    During our sessions, we focus on life skills like cooperation and open communication to enable each girl to reach her fullest potential.  We run, but it is a small part of what we do.  We begin to find out who we are and who we have the potential to be.  We also work on the courage to live up to that potential.  We find our place in the world and work to embrace it.
