Clubs

Get involved and try something new.

Knights through and through

Medieval knights adhered to a code of chivalry that required them to be courageous, honorable, courteous, and to work for justice. These are some of the same qualities that students learn through their participation in the clubs offered at St. Mary's. Our teachers are encouraged to share their passions with students through a variety of clubs, creating experiences for students that tap into their interests and help them discover new possibilities. ​ All students are encouraged to get involved and try something new.   

faith builders leadership club

FaithBuilders Leadership Club is open to any students in 5th through 8th grade that are interested in promoting and sharing their faith at St. Mary’s. Through our two main projects, The Living Nativity in December, and The Living Stations of the Cross during Lent, the students work to deepen their own faith as they encourage those around them to follow in Jesus’ footsteps each day. The students also help as needed with Prayer Services, Retreats, and other faith-based activities throughout the year.  Anyone interested in joining FaithBuilders Leadership Club should contact Mrs. Obergefell for more information.

girls scouts

Girl Scout troops are organized for girls in grades K-8. Troop information is distributed in the beginning of each school year.  As a Daisy, Brownie, or Junior, girls will have the opportunity to earn cool badges and fun patches, run their own cookie business, make new friends, and go to camp to experience the outdoors.  Girl Scouts can do anything!  With scouts, girls will have an awesome time exploring the world, learn about science, discover nature, and lots more.  Highlights of being a Girl Scout at St. Mary's include overnights at Camp Timberlane, International Day, guest speakers, service projects, and working the fish fry during Lent.

knightly news

The Knightly News is a daily news show produced by our 7th and 8th grade students. It is recorded in the school's production studio and then shown daily at 7:41 a.m. to each classroom via closed circuit television. There are approximately fifty students involved annually. Participating students have the opportunity to be an anchorperson, director, cameraperson, or copy-scroller on their assigned day. The Knightly News staff learns to work together as a team in front of the camera and behind the scenes to communicate daily announcements to the rest of the student body.  News segments on each show are Daily Observance, Weather, Student/Teacher Birthdays, Lunch Menu, SMA Sports Report, Daily School News, Today in History, Saint Feast Days, Prayer, Pledge of Allegiance, and Joke of the Week.

science olympiad

St. Mary's Science Olympiad team is open to all students in grades 5 and 6. The first meeting is typically in January, and practices run from February-April.  The John Carroll Catholic Schools Elementary Science Olympiad is held in April.  ​Science Olympiad is a phenomenal and fun experience for students.  It's wonderful to see so many young minds working together to do their best in their chosen events.  It is a day filled with friendly competition, hands-on activities, science demonstrations, team building, and excitement. Although students will have the opportunity to prepare for events during the scheduled sessions after-school, it's important that students also spend some time practicing at home.
