Clubs at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School
St. Anthony of Padua offers several extracurricular activities for students through club programming. Some of these opportunities include the following:
Rosary Club
Each week, a group of students join together with a parent volunteer during their recess time to pray the rosary either in church or the chapel.
Girls on the Run
Girls on the Run is a physical, activity-based, positive youth development program that inspires girls in grades 3-5 to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The program ends with a 5k run for a celebration of all our girls.
Musical/Theater
Each year St. Anthony of Padua middle school students have the opportunity to participate in a musical and a play. There are opportunities for starring roles, back up roles and backstage work. Performance schedules vary each year, but are always fantastic. Recent shows have included Annie Jr., The Wizard of Oz, and Artist Retreat.
Scouts
St. Anthony of Padua sponsors several troops in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of Michigan to promote duty to God, country and civic engagement. Cub Scouts is offered for boys in grades 1-5; Boy Scouts, for boys 11 to 17-years-old; Daisies, for girls in grades Kindergarten & 1st; Brownies, for girls in grades 2nd & 3rd, and Girl Scouts for girls in grades 4th-12th.
Little Flowers
New for the 2024-2025 school year, Little Flowers will be offered after school for 1st – 3rd grade girls. Little Flowers Girls’ Club® is a Catholic club for girls ages 5 and up that teaches virtues through scripture, saints’ biographies and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Yearbook
Middle school students and staff join together and develop a one-of-a-kind yearbook each school year. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn the ins and outs of writing, photography and project management.
Walking with Purpose: BLAZE Bible Study
New for the 2024-2025 school year, 7th and 8th grade girls will invited to participate in a 20 week Bible Study one time per week during their lunch/recess period. BLAZE provides girls with the tools they need to hear who God is calling them to be over and above all of the other voices coming their way. BLAZE builds a foundation from which they can continue to grow.
