Middle School Electives
DEBATE:
Our Debate elective invites students to sharpen their critical thinking, communication, and public speaking skills in a fun and supportive environment. Students learn how to research topics, build strong arguments, listen actively, and express their ideas with clarity and confidence. Through structured debates, collaborative discussions, and friendly team competitions, students grow in their ability to think thoughtfully, speak respectfully, and engage with differing viewpoints. This elective empowers students to become articulate, informed, and confident communicators—skills that benefit them far beyond the classroom.
DRAMA:
The Drama elective gives students the opportunity to explore creativity, build confidence, and develop strong communication skills through the world of theater. Students learn the basics of acting, stage presence, character development, and storytelling while participating in engaging activities such as skits, improvisation, and scripted performances. Through teamwork and hands-on practice, students discover their unique talents, support one another, and grow more comfortable expressing themselves in front of an audience. This elective encourages imagination, collaboration, and joy as students bring stories to life on stage.
ROBOTICS:
Robotics is an exciting program that allows students to be problem solving in a very hands-on environment. Trinity Lutheran School’s robotics program includes an introduction to basic robotic coding and Lego design. Robotics students will be utilizing Lego Mindstorm kits and various Lego robotics materials. The objective of this course is to build robot programming skills as well as problem solving strategies. Students will work hands-on in teams to design, build, program and document their progress.
YEARBOOK:
Our Yearbook elective gives students a hands-on opportunity to help create Trinity’s annual yearbook from start to finish. Students learn essential skills in photography, layout design, editing, and storytelling as they work together to capture the school year’s most meaningful moments. This class encourages creativity, teamwork, and attention to detail while allowing students to develop confidence in both technical and artistic areas. By the end of the year, students can take pride in producing a keepsake that reflects the heart of our school community.
