Lourdes students participate inPARA league basketballand volleyball for both boys and girls in grades 4-8. Our Lady of Lourdes also offers a 6 week ski and snowboard program on Friday afternoons for students age 8 and up.
Every year the Home and School Association hosts a Reading and Writing Fair and a Math and Science Night for all students and their parents with wonderful activities that allow students to show off their talents and have a great time doing it.
Every other year, middle school students put on a History Fair. They take on the persona of an historical figure, dress in period costumes and stay in character throughout the night. The students prepare multi-media presentations about their character and time and, staying in character, answer questions about themselves and what their life is like.
Our Lady of Lourdes also participates in MATHCOUNTS® a national math enrichment, coaching and competition program that promotes middle school mathematics achievement. MATHCOUNTS challenges students' math skills, develops their self-confidence and rewards them for their achievements.
Our Lady of Lourdes also hosts Girl Scouts, beginning in first grade, where girls can develop qualities that will serve them all their lives; qualities such as leadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.
Students are also afforded the opportunity to develop their leadership skills through activities such as Student Council, Family Groups and Yearbook. Those on student council take the lead in developing and implementing service projects and school betterment projects for their own classes as well as for the entire school. In Family Groups, eighth grade students head a “family” of students, typically one student from each grade. The family groups gather once a month to do a fun and worthwhile activity as a group. Yearbook is another activity that lets students explore their talents, creativity and technical skills in writing, editing, photography, art and layout.
Middle school students enjoy numerous other activities designed just for them including dances with the other Catholic Schools, special retreats and a year end field day.
Through our Extended Day Program, students of all ages can participate in a number of enriching afterschool activities without ever leaving the school. These include Chess, Dance, Yoga, Karate and Piano lessons.
Service to others is an integral part of Catholic School education. At Our Lady of Lourdes everyone in the school participates in numerous different projects and efforts throughout the year where they give their time, their talents and their treasures to those in need.
