Student Life

Posted by Joshua Naquin on November 13, 2008 under | Comments are off for this article

There are many opportunities for boys and girls to participate in activities at St. Elizabeth School. We ask you to take some time to discuss these possibilities with your child. One of the difficulties we often encounter is that children do not honor their commitment to a club or team. Often they see no reason for missing a meeting or activity without a good excuse. We ask you to help us teach them that commitments are important and their contributions add to the success of the team or club’s undertaking. A form will be sent at the beginning of the year stipulating regulations for each of these clubs. We would like you and your child to sign them if interested. Parents are responsible for the transportation of their child.

Note: Students are to follow all school rules and regulations on behavior when participating in extra curricular activities for or at SES.

4-H Club
Any boy or girl from the 4th-8th grade may join the 4-H club. They are asked to enroll in certain projects of interest to them. Parents can help to see that they keep accurate records and encourage them to be faithful to working with their projects. Achievement Day is held once a year in spring during which individual members compete for ribbons and trophies in various contests. Dues are paid annually.

Cheerleaders
Students in 8th grade may be cheerleaders. Try-outs are held each May. Scholastic rules apply to cheerleaders. (2.0 GPA and a “C” in conduct.) An “F” in any subject will disqualify them for that nine weeks period.

Choir
Different classes will serve as the choir as assigned.

Athletics
Boys from 5th-8th grade may sign up for cross country and basketball. Girls in 5th-8th grade may sign up for basketball, volleyball and cross country. To participate, students must have permission of parents, health insurance, pay the Diocesan participation fee annually, and meet the academic requirement (2.0 average and “C” in conduct). No “F” (including conduct) will be permitted.

Student Council
Student Council members are elected from grades 5th-8th. They assist the school in various leadership rolls during the school year.

Beta Club
Any student in grades 6-8 in good academic standing, may be invited to participate in the Beta Club. Activities include Bake Sales, area competition and attendance at the Beta Convention in Lafayette.
