Student activities are planned throughout the school year to enhance the academic curriculum, build community, promote school spirit and raise funds for those in need. Some of the activities are traditions within individual classes:
  • the kindergarten Thanksgiving feast
  • the fire department’s annual visit to the kindergarten and 2nd grades
  • the 3rd grade peanut butter and jelly factory

Some of the activities are between two classes:

  • 7th and Kinder students have Buddy Activities
  • 3rd grade challenging the 4th graders to a math bee
  • The 2nd grade putting on a puppet show for students
    in surrounding classes
  • the 7th graders having a luncheon celebration for their graduating friends in the 8th grade
  • a student from grades K-8 opens the school day with a personal prayer over the PA system
Some of the activities are religious in nature:
  • each class joins in celebrating a weekly Parish Mass
  • the 5th grade class re-enact the Living Stations during Lent
  • the 2nd graders form the honor guard for the 8th grader who crowns Mary
  • altar servers volunteer beginning in 4th grade
  • several students in all grades participate in the monthly mass and prayer service in church

Some of the activities are academic in nature:

  • Our literary magazine, "Working Minds of Working Children", contains poems, short stories and essays written by students throughout the school
  • The Oratorical contest gives students in middle school the opportunity to begin public speaking.

Some of the activities are done to help others outside of our school:

  • the annual Thanksgiving food drive and mitten/hat collections during the winter
  • the Jump Rope for Heart curriculum unit during February in gym class
  • the Holy Childhood drive during Lent
  • the collection of supplies for Christopher's Place
  • Easter bags filled with candy for guest of food kitchens
  • recycling of cans and cardboard by students in the middle school
  • teacher sponsored decorating contests with money going to local shelters for women with children

Some of the activities are provided by the Student Council such as the egg-a-ramas. Some of the activities are provided by the teachers such as the door decorations at Christmas.

Some of the activities are provided by the Home School Association such as:

  • the Family Picnic to begin the school year
  • Family Bingo, and Spring Gala during the school year
  • Fun Day to end the school year

And some of the activities are meant to bring us all together as a family:

  • Liturgies of the Mass and Celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation
  • Grandparents Day
  • K-2 Halloween Costume Parade for parents and students
  • Advent Prayer Services, Stations of the Cross and May Procession
  • Our morning prayers, read by students over the intercom
  • Student Council, Choir, Band, Chess Club, Scrabble Club, Junior Book Club and Recorder Ensemble
  • Field Day
  • Thursday pizza days and Friday ice cream days
  • Our student talent show
  • Our fall and spring band and choral assemblies
  • Our out of uniform spirit-wear days

Each activity does not subtract from the academics by taking time from the school day. Rather, each one enhances our program by bringing knowledge, enlightenment, camaraderie, spirit, and - we hope - just plain fun.
