In May, the students participated in a stamp design contest. The winning design from each grade level was printed by the stamp company and presented at a national convention in California. The students correspond among themselves and are responsible for sorting and delivering the mail. Parents are encouraged to use the mailbox in the main office to send messages to their children. An active Student Council and Junior National Honor Society serve the school through projects that include skits, dances and other activities.
Students participate in academic and athletic events.
Cheerleading, basketball, baseball and intramurals are offered for physical development. Participation in the Johns Hopkins search for talented youth is encouraged for qualifying students. Annual events such as the Knights of Columbus essay contest, the math league, the Optimist oratorical contest, the nationwide spelling bee and the geography bee, enable students to participate in challenging activities that build strong academic skills. Parents are committed to total development of their children. Between September and November of 1996, over 800 hours of volunteer services were donated by parents.
