Assemblies

Assemblies are held for children throughout the school year.  The assemblies are planned in conjunction with the principal, faculty, and the PTG with a focus on education.

Altar Servers

Students in grades  4 through 8 have the privilege of serving on the altar.  Students who choose this privilege are expected to fulfill assigned responsibilities and be on time.  Servers are expected to be in the sacristy ten minutes before the Liturgical service.

Basketball

Basketball is offered at all levels, beginning with instructional teams in the primary grades and continuing with separate boys' and girls' developmental, junior varsity and varsity teams at upper levels.  Fund raising for all teams is provided almost entirely through refreshments sold at games and during the summer programs and tournaments.  A general organizational meeting is held in the fall to acquaint parents and students with the basketball program.

Band

Band instruction is available for a fee for interested students from grades 4-8.  The Diocesan Program dictates the monthly fee annually.  The instruments are rented with the option to buy.  Small group lessons are provided one period a week and practice is held once a week.  The periods are rotated so the same classes are not missed too often.  However, it remains the responsibility of the student to make up missed work.  A meeting is held at the beginning of each school year to provide more information for interested parents.

Student Council

Student Council consists of students from grades four through eight.  Election of officers and commissioners will be held in the fall of each school year.  The organizational goal is to foster good morale through student planning and implementation of school activities. The Student Council sponsors social events, such as dances, and pep assemblies. They raise money for various charitable causes, such as Chimbote, Catholic Charities, and the Holy Childhood Association.

Forensics

The forensic program is designed to foster confidence and self-esteem in public speaking.  Students in grades six through eight are eligible.  The students compete as a school and individually at three main tournaments each year.  There is also a final round and an all-star tournament as well.  Once a year, new students who would like to try forensics are invited to a novice tournament.

Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science

 PJAS is a science experimentation program. Students in grades seven and eight participate in a local competition at school first.  Those that qualify compete in the regionals.  Depending on the results at regionals, they may compete at the state level. Students in grades four through six also have the opportunity for competition at the school level. 

Volleyball and Bowling

 Volleyball and bowling are two extra-curricular activities that are for recreational purposes only.  Bowling is for students in grades six through eighth grades, and volleyball is for grades four through eight
