Specials Classes

Physical Education 

Students in all grades, preschool - 5th grade take gym class each week. The students enjoy working with Mrs. Russell on skills from learning to jump rope to the rules for soccer!  Students learn that being a good sport is what Jesus expects of us! 

Art

Miss Ercolani meets with our 4 year-old preschool and older students for art each week.  They explore different forms of art from a faith based perspective.  You might see students painting under desks like Michelangelo or outside sketching some of God's beautiful creations!

Music

Mrs. Schmieder brings boundless energy to her music classes and our preschool through 3rd grade students enjoy learning about rhythm and beat as they sing, march, and play instruments with her. Students learn many of the songs we sing at Mass each week so they can become better participants in the liturgy. 

Guitar

Our 4th, 5th, and 6th  grade students are learning to play the guitar! Our guitar teacher, Mr. Jakubowski, is meeting with our oldest students twice a week to share his love of stringed instruments. The students are striving to learn this instrument so they can play at Mass!

Orchestra

We are blessed to be able to offer orchestra for our 2nd and 3rd grade students! Miss Bellamy, our orchestra teacher meets with the students who have elected to take orchestra each Wednesday, after Mass, for a 45 minute class. Students are able to choose between the violin, viola, bass, and cello. 

Spanish

Learning a foreign language is an important part of including others in all that we do.  When we can welcome people in their own language, we are able to include them in ways that we could not before. Mrs. Doyle, our Spanish teacher, has been teaching Spanish for over 20 years and is able to teach our students to understand and use this language,  in a very natural manner.

Library

Currently, our library is in boxes as we await the new library space that will be created over the next year! Students will take field trips to the Ada Library several times this school year as well as borrow books from the extensive classroom libraries until our new space is complete. 

Proverbs 3:13 “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.”
