Student Life

A rich St. Michael experience includes learning and development beyond the classroom. We offer a range of opportunities for our students to get involved through extracurricular activities.

Extracurricular activities can help promote community, self-esteem, and teamwork - contributing to each student's total development. Parents play an important role in this effort and are encouraged to become involved in and support both school and extracurricular events.

These include:

• Athletics. Visit our Blues Athletics site to view the calendar and learn more about   participating in 
  • Volleyball (5th - 8th grades, intramural)
  • Boys Basketball (4th - 8th grades, intramural)
  • Girls Basketball (4th - 8th grades, intramural)
  • Baseball/Softball (7th & 8th grades)
  • Golf Club (5th - 8th grades, boys and girls)
• Clubs/Activities. A wide range of activities hopefully provides an opportunity for any/all students to become involved in something of interest including: 
  • Robotics, band, book club, chess club, Christmas program, dances, flag & safety patrol, spring musical, art fair, and Student council.
• Spiritual Life. Living the Gospel message permeates our school day and is reflected in the nature of our activities. Throughout the year we promote events and activities links for our school community to learn more about - and demonstrate - our Catholic Christian values. These include:
  • Catholic School's Week, Children's Mass, First Communion, First Reconciliation, Graduation Mass, Living Stations, May Crowning, and prayer buddies.
• Special Annual Programs
  • Grandparent/Special Person Day is held in the spring each year. Students invite a special person to Wednesday morning Mass with refreshments and activities to follow. It provides a nice opportunity for our students to connect with the through our School.
  • Veterans Day: On Veterans Day each year, we celebrate those who have served in our military, both past and present. We celebrate with a special program in the gym including speakers, tributes, patriotic music, a history of the flag and flag folding ceremony, and prayer; we also invite family veterans to join us for the program, and we honor them with a special tribute.
  • Eagle Bluff: Every year, sixth grade students attend Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Lanesboro, Minnesota. This is a 3-day, 2-night trip. The class may decide to organize and participate in fundraisers to help cover the expenses for this trip.
  • Washington D.C.: Every year the eighth grade students spend MEA weekend exploring our nation's capital. The class may decide to organize and participate in a fundraiser to help cover the expenses for this trip.
