Language
St. Mary's offers after school Spanish language instruction once per week via the Discovery Language Program.
These after school enrichment courses encourage students to build language skills through games, songs, and hands-on activities. Children also increase their understanding of other cultures and their awareness of multicultural issues.
Scouting
Parent volunteers organize Boy
and Girl Scout troops according
to
student interest. Troop meetings typically take place after school
once or twice per month. Several weekend events and activities are
often also included. Students enjoy the opportunity to deepen
their friendships, extend their community involvement, and build their
skills beyond classroom and school.
