Extra Curricular Activities

A rich Nativity experience includes learning and development beyond the classroom. The wide range of extra-curricular programs offers something for everyone:

• Service and Leadership
• Athletics
• Fine Arts
• Academic Enrichment

These activities also help students foster positive relationships with their classmates, adult volunteers and the school staff. Parents play an important role in this effort and are encouraged to become involved in and support both school and extracurricular events.
