Clubs and Activities
Saint John Paul II Catholic School firmly believes in encouraging students to participate in activities beyond the normal school day. Doing so allows children to interact with their peers and adults outside of their regular classroom environment, pursue individual interests, and develop new skills. We offer a wide range of activities for all ages, and these programs are consistently popular among the students.
Alive In Faith Club
Alive in Faith Club will be offered this year for grades kindergarten through third! Our first meeting has been postponed to now start on Tuesday, October 11. Thereafter, we will be meeting on the first Tuesday of each month from 3:15 to 4:45 p.m. This year our theme will be putting on the Armor of God! For more information, please see our Alive in Faith Club flyer. For questions, please contact Mary Herpy.

Competitive Sports Teams

There are too many to list here on our Clubs and Activities page, so interested readers should visit our Athletics page for more information.

Drama Club
The SJPII Catholic School Drama Club hits the ground running every school year in preparation for a full-length spring musical. A summer seminar introduces students to the production’s characters, storyline, music, and choreography. The drama club will hold auditions during the first few weeks of school, and cast rehearsals begin shortly thereafter. Student volunteers will join the stage crew later in the fall. One to two afternoons a week becomes devoted to show preparation. There is not likely a busier club on our campus!
Please contact Ms. Haley or Mrs. Holton to learn more about our drama club.

The 2022–2023 theme for LEGO Robotics, Jr. is "Superpowered." Students will explore where energy comes from and how it is distributed, stored, and used, employing their creativity to work and innovate for a better energy future. In 2022–2023, the FIRST® LEGO® League Explore team (LEGO Robotics, Jr. for short) meets simultaneous to the older grades' LEGO Robotics Club, garnering interaction with students more experienced in this activity.
