Pupils have two class parties each year, one before the winter break and one on the last day of school. Teachers organize classroom activities instead of parties on other holidays, encouraging young learners to get involved in the classroom community.

In addition to providing a variety of fun activities, Champions offers the safety and convenience of a high-quality in-school program.
The school offers the Vanguard program as a Gifted and Talented resource for young learners in kindergarten through fifth grade. Students are selected based on classroom performance, standardized test scores and teacher recommendations. Students are also able to apply for dual language programs.
The Ray K. Daily Elementary School offers its young scholars a well-rounded education with various opportunities for advancement.
