Grade 3, 4 and 8, participate in Urban Gateways, an extra art class that is included in their curriculum. The class is for seven weeks and students work on various large art projects.



School-Our involvement in science competitions: Our 7th and 8th graders have found math and science competitions a fun way to meet new people, learn new skills and really delve into new concepts and materials. They also are able to compete with students from other area Catholic schools. The competitions encourage teamwork and allow students the opportunity to learn how to work together in a competitive arena.



School-Technology in our classrooms: All classrooms are now wired and wireless, and teachers incorporate technology in the classroom. Last year our school participated in a grant given to Notre Dame High School for girls to integrate technology into elementary school classrooms. Our 8th grade teacher, Ms. Dzurovsak, jumped right in and received training on new tools she would incorporate into her classroom. An example is a robotic invention kit. The robot is intended to run on a chain of commands that the students build. They can have the robot dance, spin, dance even follow a predetermined course.
