Chess Club- IC is proud to offer our Chess Club experience. Chess Club gives students the opportunity to develop their skills through practice and sharing of knowledge. Students in grades 2 through 5 are encouraged to come for fun. Students in 6 through 8th offer their insights as chess counselors. This year, our hope is to bring in guests who will help expand and strengthen student skills.
Choir- This year we will have 2 school choirs; a primary choir for grades 2-5 and a junior high choir for grades 6-8. Students will participate in leading our weekly masses. In addition they will participate in prayer services and other school events. Students will practice on Friday mornings before school.
A Sunday Children’s Choir has also been established for children (grades 2-8) in our parish to sing at the monthly family mass.
Drama Club- This exciting club has been developed for those in grades 3 through 5. The Drama Club will meet on Tuesdays each week in the school library. The students involved work on drama skills and create a final presentation. Additional Monday practices are held as the performance date approaches. During the school year, two sessions of Drama Club are offered. The Fall session runs from September through November. Our Spring session will begin in February and end in April.
High School Math Prep- The High School Math Prep class is designed to help 8tth graders prepare for their high school entrance exam. Students will spend the time reviewing Pre-Algebra and Geometry concepts that are part of the course curriculum.
Math Minds- This after school session will appeal to students who enjoy math and are interested in working with mathematical challenges. Those students who want to participate in the ICHS and Fenwick Math Contests can come and sharpen their skills as well. The students will review concepts and further skills with higher level problem solving.
Spirit Club-This club is specifically for lower grade students. Those who join will be considered ICGS Good Will Ambassadors. They will participate in a wide variety of activities as representatives of our school.
