C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie means "That's Life" in French and relates to our chez nous French connection. It is a pro-active club that invites students to participate in areas of concern involving life-giving activities from womb to tomb. We do fund-raising for victims of hurricane and natural disasters, for moms and tots at Christmastime, for homeless and poor families at Thanksgiving. We ask guest speakers to come and inform us of needs and we take trips to shelters and places where people are lonely and eager to have visitors
Chez Nous Singers
A group of able and dedicated singers prepare for the yearly Christmas Concert. Students work on refining their vocal techniques in a constructive atmosphere.
Chez Nous Yearbook
Students work towards the production of the Chez Nous yearbook. They learn techniques such as cropping, designing layouts, generating themes, etc. while working cooperatively with their peers.
Drama

French Club
Students continue to expand their knowledge of the French language and are exposed to the French culture in literature, art, music, philosophy, science, film, and theater.
History by Hollywood
Students share companionship and snacks while learning something of the past by watching films (many of them classics) that depict historic periods or events.
Liturgy Schola
Students meet to learn and/or rehearse songs and service music for our regular school liturgies.
Math Club/League
Students work in pairs to solve puzzles, problems, and brain teasers of various kinds. They also do math-in-art projects, other hands on activities and fold origami figures. At the close of each meeting, solutions to the puzzles worked on during the meeting are explained and discussed.
