The Mayor's Cup is an academic competition with eight events: Quick Recall, Future Problem Solving, Individual Written Assessments in five subjects, and English Composition.

About 60 JCPS elementary schools participate. Schools are divided into districts based on test scores, population, and geography. Students can participate in up to three events, with a limit of two individual written assessments.

Intermediate students have the opportunity to learn to play instrumental music through band and orchestra classes. These classes are held twice a week, and a certified teacher from a nearby high school offers instruction. Performance experiences are also provided.

This is a fifth-grade leadership opportunity. Selected students act as positive role models for other students. They maintain and promote excellent safety standards within the building.

Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) is a club of students in upper grades who are avidly interested in technology and want to strengthen their leadership skills by taking on extra projects within our school and/or community. Each year, STLP will focus on one big project to plan and carry out and other smaller projects throughout the year. Our first-ever project was creating a Sensory Room for the school; it was a huge success! STLP members serve as classroom leaders by helping their teachers and other students with technology issues. All STLP meetings are built into the school day and normally occur during the students' special area time.

Students in third through fifth grade have an opportunity to participate in the Student Council. Elections are held each fall to select the class representatives. Parent volunteers guide the student representatives as they plan and implement community service projects. The Student Council’s motto is “Dunn Kids Care.”
