SAVE (Students Against Violence Everywhere) Promise Clubs provide a space for young people to show their leadership, creativity, and passion for protecting their peers, schools, and communities from violence.  SAVE Promise Clubs are student-led and, therefore, a powerful and empowering approach to violence prevention.

Girl Power Club

We envision a world where all girls believe in their power.​ We inspire the power in girls by teaching them the skills to thrive and believe in their ability to be unstoppable. Our core values of respect, kindness, responsibility and courage will start at school, and at home and throughout the community. We are committed to integrating these values in all we do to inspire and empower each girl to reach their fullest potential. The Girl Power Club meets every Thursday at 12:30pm.

Debate Team

Sponsors: Mr. Foster and Mrs. D. Campbell

The Plantation Debate Team competes with other schools throughout the Broward County School District. Students are required to prepare and debate both sides of an issue through multiple rounds at the tournaments.  The team collectively researches issues and students practice with one another before competing. Being a member provides many academic and personal benefits, including research, writing and public speaking skills. 

Tiger Cheer Squad

Sponsor: Ms. Hobbs

Cheer Club is designed to give 4th and 5th grade students the opportunity to learn dances, cheers, chants, and team-building activities, as well as perform at various school-sponsored and community events.

Lady Tiger Step Team

Sponsor: Ms. Forde

A Step Team is a team that performs a unique dance art form that originated in Africa. Stepping is a form of percussive dance in which the participants' entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken work and hand claps.

The purpose of the Lady Tigers Step Team is to create an atmosphere of unity and diversification through stepping and group creativity. The team’s primary responsibility is to entertain, give back through community service projects, develop a sense of pride, gain leadership skills, and develop camaraderie between their teammates. 

Tiger Talk Morning News Team

Sponsor: Ms. Morris

The Tiger Talk Morning News Team is streamed every morning at 8am at Plantation Elementary. Each classroom on campus has access to receive updates about what is going on in and around Tiger Nation. This can include upcoming school functions, new programs that are being offered, and who our Students of the Week are.

The news program is run entirely by our students. They anchor the show, operate the cameras, control sound mixing, digital mixing and computer graphics through PowerPoint.

Students who participate learn the value of teamwork as they work cohesively to accomplish the task of publishing a consistent and entertaining morning news show. Students also take turns learning and using every piece of equipment in the studio so that they gain a better understanding of all the elements involved in broadcast television.

Plantation Tiger Garden Club

Sponsor: Ms. Clacken and Coach Jacques

Plantation Elementary School’s Garden Club provides a great way for students to learn about gardening and gain hands-on experience growing their own food and tasting the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labor. The students learn planning and patience, and most of all, a spirit of adventure. It started off as a project within the project. We are striving to create several gardens. We already have the "Positive Vibe Fruit and Vegetable Garden" We have named our butterfly garden, "Plantation Tiger Butterflies, Birds, and Bees" (PTBBBs). The students meet 1^st and 3^rd Fridays from 2:15-3:15pm.
