Join our DND club!

The club is open to students in grades 3–5, and all students are welcome! It is also bilingual-friendly and will meet on Wednesdays from 3:10–4:10 PM, beginning October 14, 2026.

There will be four sessions throughout the school year, with 8 student spots available per session.

D&D Club gives students a fun and safe space to use their imaginations while building skills in social-emotional learning, reading, speaking, writing, problem-solving, and mathematics. Students will have the opportunity to work together, make creative decisions, tell stories, and embark on their own fantastical adventures! ✨🐲🗺️

Students do not need to bring anything with them. Ms. Aragon will provide all of the supplies they need. If they would like to have their own set of seven D&D dice, they are welcome to bring one, but this is completely optional. Dice sets can be found at stores such as Barnes & Noble, WZKD, and Duke City Games.

All they really need to bring is themselves and their imagination! 💙🎲
