Co-Curricular Activities

Co-Curricular Activities

Students can participate in activities that allow them to discover new interests, solve problems, think both critically and creatively, all while developing their self-confidence as learners.

Details and sign-up information provided below. Registration links, where available, are found below the activity's description.

Band

Music Education Services offers all children the opportunity to join the school band beginning in 4th grade. In September, students have the opportunity to attend a performance during which all of the band instruments are demonstrated and explained. Students then have the chance to try two instruments as part of a hands-on exploration of their interests.

The STS Band students play several evening concerts throughout the year, combining with more than 150 other students from six local Catholic schools, and participate in both a solo festival and an honor band festival. In addition to the curricular concerts, students play at the Veterans Day assem

bly, Christmas concert, all school music concerts and several masses per year.

St. Theresa School recognizes the importance of music in the development of the whole child, and will offer two opportunities for students praise God with song. The choirs will sing at

St. Theresa School's Choirschool mses, liasturgies, and at other school functions throughout the year.

Drama (Musical)

Each year students participate in a musical - check back at a later date for more information regarding this year's school musical.

After School Art (grades 1-8) In a nonthreatening atmosphere where creativity can flourish, students are inspired by unusual projects and experimentation with different media. This class is perfect for beginning, intermediate and even advanced students. Students focus on line, form, positive and negative space, relationships of one object to another, composition, color value and texture. Lessons encourage careful observation while stretching ability to focus. Register below - Registration is limited!

Chess-Ed Instruction (grades 1-8)

Chess is a fun and magical game. Students will receive professional chess instruction in how the game is played, opening ideas and theory, middle game tactics, plus end game combinations. There will also be time to play games and receive analysis. This activity uses both analytical and critical thinking skills. The life skills learned in playing chess include problem solving, decision making, patience, concentration, focus and more. All students are welcome grades 1-8.

3D Printing (grades 4-8) In this class, students turn their dreams into 3D reality. Students are taught how to create Computer Aided Designs (CAD) that will be printed on in 3D out of plastic right before their eyes.

NEW Sticky Fingers Cooking Class (grades K-5)

Young chefs will have SO much fun discovering how easy and enjoyable it is to cook (and gobble-up!) tasty, healthy globally - inspired recipes! Classes incorporate S.T.E.A.M., culture, language, geography, history, and more. Children will explore exciting pairings and master culinary skills that will nourish the bodies and minds.

Cub Scouts (Boys & Girls Grades K through 5)

St. Theresa charters Pack 91, which is designated as a Family Scouting Pack. When you join the Scouts, your family becomes a part of a local group called a pack that meets once a month for adventures, activities, and recognition of achievements. Pack events are open to the entire family. Within the pack, your Cub Scout will be a part of a smaller group, based on grade and gender, that meets a few times each month for age-specific activities.

Pack 91 Cub Scouts and their families go on amazing adventures! Engage in STEM activities, go on hikes, and learn to fish and camp all while developing lifelong skills and memories. Scouts take part in activates within the school, church, and local community such as food drives, service projects, and honoring our Veterans. The whole family can participate in well-known annual Scouting events such as the Pinewood Derby and Rain-gutter Regatta miniature boat race.

Scouting builds character, responsibility and friendships that last a lifetime. If you would like to Register, click HERE. For more information or to join Cub Scout Pack 91, contact: [email protected]

Athletic Programs St. Theresa School provides the development of the WHOLE person - the religious, moral, social, and academic dimensions. We believe that participation in athletics is an important part of the student's physical development. Through participation in the STS Sports Program students may develop life-long skills and positive values. These values include leadership, healthful living habits, self-discipline, integrity, teamwork, respect for rules and regulations, and the ability to participate with dignity and grace.
