Extracurricular Activities

We recognize the importance of and are particularly proud of our wide range of extracurricular programs. These programs include academic, cultural, and athletic opportunities for our students.  Samplings of these are:

• Student Council
• Choir
• Academic Olympics
• Art Portfolio Production
• Concerts and Performances
• Basketball and Soccer Programs

Under the direction of Mr. Stephen Fraser, students in grades 3 – 8 who participate in the SMCS Choir learn how rewarding it can be to work together to create something beautiful that is bigger than themselves
.
Students sing for family mass at St. Margaret of Cortona Church and at area choral festivals, as well as adding their voices to the Christmas pageant and talent show at school.

Mrs. Policello, our fantastic art teacher, highlights our students’ creativity by posting their art work here. Here are some examples of our students’ work.
