Extracurricular Activities

St. Odilia School has contracted with Totino-Grace High School Fine Arts Academy to provide band/orchestra lessons for our students. Partnership with T-G allows us to offer Orchestra from grades 3-8 and Band for grades 4-8. 

Ensembles meet before school one to two times a week. Individual Orchestra lessons are scheduled on Mondays and Tuesdays during the school day. Individual Band lessons are scheduled on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the school day. Schedules are emailed to parents on a weekly basis.

Lego League is a fun and exciting way for students to learn about and come up with potential solutions to real-world problems. Each year there is a "Theme" that teams will need to research and learn more about. From their research, they will identify current problems or difficulties within that "Theme". Teams will then try to develop a possible solution to one of the problems or difficulties and create a 5-minute presentation of their findings. 

Where do the LEGOs fit in? Well, that's the really fun part! From the "Theme," a challenge table is created with many different tasks for the students to complete. Using LEGOs and a programmable brick, students engineer a robot and program it to complete the different tasks!

Any student in grades 4 through 8 is eligible to join a St. Odilia Robotics Competition Team. Students do NOT need to be in the same grade to be on the same team. In order to have more than 2 teams, parents are needed to help coach. No prior technology experience or knowledge is required. Please contact Mr. Booth if you are interested in helping to coach a team.
