Running Club takes place for 6 weeks in the Fall and 6 weeks in the Spring for boys and girls. We meet once a week after school for 45 minutes. This club promotes health and wellness. Students set goals and strive to reach them. Each week students will run longer distances, with the final distance being three miles. We finish our Fall season by running the Turkey Trot 5k and we finish our Spring season by running the Grow Run 5k. Students are encouraged to pay attention to their food choices, start healthy habits, conquer goals, and show great sportsmanship.

The production club is responsible for presenting the MVTV Live morning news each morning.  The production club is open to 6th graders only.  

Crew members must arrive in the production room right after the bell rings. This is so there will be time to set up and do a run through for the show.

There will be five members on each crew.  There will be four different crews for the school year.  Each crew member will start with a certain job and rotate to other positions as the semester progresses in order to gain knowledge and experience in the various production roles.

Safety patrol consists of 5th and 6th grade student leaders who ensure students are safe in the hallways, at car riders, and throughout the building. Safety patrol is a service club. We provide tutoring for younger students as well as webinar as mentors and “buddies”.  Safety patrol completes two service projects per year to provide community service.

What is Battle of the Books?
Elementary Battle of the Books (BOB) is a competition team that encourages students to read by having them read 15 books representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints by prominent authors in the area of young adult literature. Participation in Elementary Battle of the Books allows students the opportunity to improve reading skills, mature in their choices of reading materials, and acquire a broader knowledge base. Our meetings will offer students the chance to practice for the countywide battle in March by answering questions like the ones shown below. The goal is to answer each question by stating the title and author of the book to which the question pertains. We will prepare for competition at meetings by playing games, discussing the books, taking notes and studying key elements of each text such as characters, settings, and plot. 

Examples of Competition and Practice Questions:
In which book does a character state, “Being a mother is like trying to hold a
wolf by the ears”?
Answer: Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

OR

In which book is an alarm set off just for fun?
Answer: Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix

Teams get two points for the correct title and one point for the correct author. If the team answers incorrectly the other team has an opportunity to steal the question and receives two points for the correct title. Using a game format for the competition creates interest and excitement in reading. 

What are the 15 required books for the 2023-2024 School Year? 

This link will show you the books for this year. Students may begin reading the books at any time and are encouraged to read over the summer. At our first meeting, we will set a reading schedule. 

Meeting schedule will be posted here. Please check back.

 Membership: 

Elementary Battle of the Books is open to  fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. Students must be strong, fluent readers as they will be reading about one novel per week. All reading takes place on the student's own time. 

How Do I Make the Competition Team?
Fifth and sixth graders compete on the same team!  Each member of Elementary Battle of the Books must read the 15 books listed on the elementary list.  Each member should attend practice meetings held through December. If students do not keep up with the reading, they will not be able to continue coming to practices. In December, all students will be given a test using the same question format as shown above for all 15 books.  The 6-8 students with the highest scores on this test will become the Elementary Battle of the Books Competition Team and represent our school in the county Battle in March.

The Kindness Club is open to 5th graders at Mountain View. Research shows that when we serve and do kind things for others, we feel better about ourselves and have a more positive outlook. The goal of the Kindness Club is to cultivate a community of students that serve others in a variety of ways, within our school and outside the walls of our building, which in turn will create a positive difference in these students' lives as well. We will meet during the school day so those that typically are unable to join before/after school clubs will be able to participate.
