Student Activities
The extra-curricular program at Saint Ann School is designed to enhance and
support the school's mission and philosophy. The school encourages each
student to become involved and participate responsibly in this program.
Competitive as well as cooperative opportunities are provided to meet the
various needs and interests of the students. Participation in the
extra-curricular program presents students with the means of developing their
powers of leadership and heightening their awareness of the need to render
service to others. Among the organized activities currently offered in
addition to athletics are:
The Saint Ann Junior and Senior Book Clubs
meets during study hall in the library, with the librarian as facilitator.
This club provides an opportunity for student members to read for fun, and to
talk about their reading. Students share their thoughts on books (and life) in
lively discussions, and the literary society evolves into a venue for making
new friends.
Choir - The
choir and liturgical band lead the Saint Ann community in song during our school
wide liturgies and prayer services. They enhance the liturgical experience for
our students by praising God through song in a contemporary style. Members
sing in Afrikaner, Latin, Spanish, Hebrew. Chorus members also sing at the
Grandpals Day, Christmas Program, Catholic Schools Week, International
Festival, and other events both on and off campus.
Membership in the Junior National Honor Society
is nationally recognized as one of the highest honors that can be given to a
junior high school student. Students do not apply for membership; they are
selected as members by a majority vote of the Faculty Council on the basis of
Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Throughout the year, the
members participate in many service related activities.
Service Club is an opportunity for
students to be involved in service to others. Service is a
key part of the mission of Saint Ann School and therefore is strongly emphasized
in the classroom and through the Service Club. Though each class has a service
partner they are involved with throughout the school year, students in the
club have the opportunity to do more and different acts of service.
The purpose of the Student Council is to
promote school spirit, set example, and serve as liaison between students and
different offices in the school. Two representatives come from each homeroom;
classmates elect each representative and the students elect the Student
Council Officers.
Extra Curricular Activities include: choir, yearbook, newspaper, student council, service club, chess club, book club, student video broadcast, GeoBee, Model United Nations, TPAC and Children’s Theatre, Junior National Honor Society, Suntrails Leadership program, Quiz Bowl, music recitals, forensics, scouts and many more
