Opportunities at Holy Family School

Students at Holy Family School ( HFS ) have been so blessed with the cocurricular activities and classes offered to them during the school year . The co-curricular activities and classes have demonstrated development in various aspects of our students ’ growth .
Art class , Occupational Therapy , Coding , Library , Study Skills , Rhythm & Moves Music and Technology and Design are among many classes the students cannot get enough of . Their creativity , enthusiasm and energy shine in these classes . Just this month , the school began two new programs that have our students excited for more .
Holy Family ’ s very own , Mrs . Hesler began a Public Speaking class . In the class she will be working on increasing confidence , gaining experience and having fun while getting comfortable speaking in front of a group . Although
classes have just begun this month , students are always pouring out of the class with such positive energy , laughing and smiling . One observation has been , that even the most timid of students come out with their heads held high .
Another program that just began is the Soccer program , made available by KidstoPros . As you can imagine , the energy level even prior to the class beginning has been so high . Classes demonstrate teamwork and students who are more experienced do such a great job helping the more novice students with the techniques .
Through the co-curricular activities and classes , the HFS students have exemplified how playing , singing , recitation , speaking , drawing and using technology has given them the ability to express themselves more freely .
