Enrichment Zone

The Higley Unified School District is pleased to offer a schedule of Enrichment Zone activities with a focus on age-level activities. The programs offered strive to promote physical activity, fitness, skill development and sportsmanship. Please take a moment to view the program schedule and select an activity that meets your child’s interest and/or needs. Once a club has begun, no refunds/credits will be given for unattended days. Prorating for a club due to the inability to attend certain classes is also not condoned.

Enrichment Zone Programs

Centennial Reptile Club

Reptile Club will be a 6-week long collaboration between Students and the Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary. Each week, PHS Staff members bring a set of animals to a classroom of 15-25 Students for one hour. One week may focus on aquatic turtles, another week on non-venomous snakes, a week of crocodiles, and so on!

Reptile Club concludes with an open-house style presentation day. Each Student chooses a reptile that fascinated them at some point. They then research, prepare a visual aid, and present their findings on the last day of Reptile Club. Past Reptile Clubs have invited other students/grades, parents, and school administration members to learn about what they now know.

PHS staff will make sure that material covered is age appropriate and aligned with that level of science knowledge. Topics that are covered each week include encouraging co-existence, myths, reality, adaptations, life history, ecological roles, conservation status, and much more! Reptile Club is ideal for schools or classrooms that do not want a one-time presentation and want to expose their students to as many animals as possible in their own school setting.

Join us for an up and close, hands-on experience with LIVE reptiles.
