The Choir includes children from 4th_ 8th grade. We meet 2 – 3 times a month after school in the music room to learn songs for Mass. We sing these songs for the School Liturgy which is once a month. All grades must attend the monthly Mass and sit with their class. The Choir sits together while singing the songs they learned for the Mass.

The Cooking Club for students in grades 3-5 meets once every quarter. Students follow recipes to prepare, measure, mix, and bake.
