Another exciting line-up of activities is in store for our St. Paul Catholic School’s Alternative Recess Activities (ARA) program! ARA is a program moderated by volunteer professionals that provides elective opportunities for junior high (6th-8th) students during the lunch/recess period.
The program is a wonderful opportunity for students to expand their interests and meet new friends in a relaxed, enjoyable environment. To ensure success, parental involvement and student interest in the ARA decision-making process are critical. To help with this process, a description of each activity is attached. ARAs are commitments for the duration of the electives, so please carefully consider this during the selection process. Please note: ARAs are NOT mandatory (aside from lunch with Mrs. Bellanca and Fr. Jim once per month – these will be required for the boys/girls in each grade level to attend as a group).
