Athletics & Activities
Athletics & Activities
In the Kennewick School District, we recognize athletics and activities as integral parts of the total school experience for our students. Students learn sportsmanship, integrity, teamwork, competition, cooperation, innovation, ingenuity and so much more through these programs.
Athletics and activities also help build pride in our schools and community, and they can make the overall school experience more enjoyable and successful for our students.

The Buddy Club provides opportunities for teens with disabilities to form friendships with teens without disabilities in their school. In addition to providing recreational opportunities, the club's purpose is to bring inclusion for teens with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the general population of their schools.

The "buddies" have the prospect of gaining additional friendships, social skill development and increased independence.

Scottie Adventure - Florida: Want to experience history or science in a hands-on way? Scottie Adventures has been traveling to Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, etc., since the 2008-09 school year. Our goal is to help students learn about our government and nation through real life encounters. Setting foot on the land where the Battle of Gettysburg occurred, walking into Congress to see where the decisions are made in our government, visiting the National Archives to see our founding documents – they're all priceless and more than you can ever experience from a book.
We make student safety our top priority, and parents are always welcome to attend the trip with us.
We are currently embarking on a Science in Motion adventure. Students will be able to have lunch with an astronaut, go into a simulator to discover what it is like to be a part of space travel, go behind the scenes at Disney and learn the physics behind roller coasters, see Florida’s vegetation and animals in their natural habitat, get up close to alligators, and even participate in more than 100 interactive science exhibits that will spark the imagination at Wonder Works.
