To create graduates who are concerned about others, leadership opportunities and a range of exposures are introduced. Pairing older and younger students in buddy classes, and assisting teachers through the Future Teachers Club, all provide opportunities for students to lead and start "making a difference" in our school community.

With small class sizes, St. Michael School can be flexible to meet the changing needs of students with various additional opportunities or resources. Fortunate to be located in communities where enrichment for children is a priority, students are encouraged to participate in programs such as their local civic centers and libraries.

 

Student Council

Student Council is an organized group of students sharing in the life of the school, including planning a Veterans Day Tribute Mass and coffee social each year.

 

Smiles Program

The Smiles program has been a long-standing tradition for first graders at St. Michael's School. It is a one-on-one reading program that partners a student with a volunteer senior citizen. Every other Thursday, the first-grade class meets with their Smiles reading partner. The volunteer readers begin the year by reading to the students and by the end of the school year, the students are reading to the volunteers. This program was designed to improve reading skills in a relaxed and fun environment. Our first graders look forward to this program. In addition, Smiles will form friendships that we hope will last a lifetime.

​

School Choir

The school choir is open to any student regardless of musical training in the third thru eighth grades. Students sing, play bells, or play other instruments to lead or accompany singing during the liturgies.

 

Power of the Pen

Power of the Pen is a statewide competition for creative writers. Each school enters one team of six students for seventh and eighth grades. Writers compete at the district, regional and state levels.

 

Rosary Club

The St. Michael School Stay & Pray Rosary Group meets every Thursday after pick-up (@ 2:35pm) in St. Michael Church. Students ranging from our littlest preschool Blue Angels to our Middle Schoolers are given an opportunity to share prayer intentions, lead prayers, announce mysteries or simply participate as they grow in familiarity with the rosary.
