Enriching the Student's Experience through Extracurriculars
During the academic year, opportunities for students to enrich their experience are wide and varied.
Academic enrichment classes includes art, classroom music, physical education, computing, Spanish language, and religious and sacramental programs.
Academic extracurricular competitions include GCCMT math, St. Ed's Classroom of Champions, the annual science fair (winners compete within the district at St. Edwards and regionally at the University of Akron), Diocesan Spelling Bee, National Geography Bee, and the Computerized Thinking Cap Quiz Bowl.
In Music, Instrumental Band and Choir are offered to all students. Students perform in Winter and Spring concerts.
Drama and Fine Arts are encouraged through two full-school theatre productions and fine art exhibitions. Students also visit the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Palace or State Theatre, the Cleveland Playhouse, and the Western Reserve Historical Society. A theatrical or ministry group often performs in school for students.
Extracurricular athletics include intramural (K - 3rd grade) and CYO (4th - 8th grade) soccer, volleyball, basketball, football, wrestling, fast-pitch softball, baseball, bowling and cheerleading. For St. Adalbert Athletic Boosters information, click here.
Extracurricular student and social organizations include Girl and Boy Scouts, the school newspaper, SMAD - Students Making A Difference, Ski Club, the Young Astronauts program at NASA, and community service events that bring students together with each other and the community.
Students Making a Difference (SMAD) In our Academy, every discipline integrates the social justice principles of the Catholic Church. The Catholic student is taught specifically to care for the needy and those marginalized in society through projects and programs. At the Academy of St. Adalbert, we have SMAD - Students Making A Difference. In this organization composed of 4th - 8th graders, our students are learning the importance of volunteering their talents and participating in numerous charitable works to help them understand their role as Catholic Christians in society.

Theology of the Body for Teens
A Free Informational Evening on...
Theology of the Body for Teens
Theology of the Body for Teens presents the two hottest topics on the planet - God and sex - and "marries" them through Pope John Paul II's compelling vision for love and life. It speaks to the deepest meaning of why we were created, the purpose of love and sexuality, and the meaning of life. These topics are important for all, especially teens. They're yearning for answers to life's deepest questions, as well as a positive portrayal of their sexuality. John Paul II's vision for the meaning of our bodies and our sexual desires is a topic that connects with teens in a way that speaks to the deepest desires of their hearts.
Theology of the Body for Teens helps them unlearn the misguided teachings of the modern culture and provide them with the very key to life-the key to happiness and peace. It helps them discover the ultimate purpose for which God created them-communion with him.
Come hear Damon Owens, an acclaimed speaker on TOB4Teens. He is an incredible presenter for the Theology of the Body Institute who will share an overview of Theology of the Body with us! Mark your calendars & plan to attend!
WHEN: Friday, March 12th, 2010 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
WHERE: St. Raphael Parish Lunchroom, 525 Dover Center Road, Bay Village, OH 44140

Disability Awareness
During the month of January, our students learned a lot about how others WALK WITH JESUS as they face various challenges in their lives. Our 7th and 8th graders, under the direction of their teachers, Mrs. Sebastian and Mrs. Bernardone, developed PowerPoint presentations about various disabilities which they shared with the rest of the students in our school. They shared information on Down Syndrome, Autism, Muscular Dystrophy, Tourette's Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dwarfism. Talyah Bernardone, an alumnus of the Academy of St. Adalbert and currently a student at John Carroll University, shared her journey with muscular dystrophy.
In addition, stations were set up in the gym where students were able to experience various physical and learning disabilities:
All School Bowling Field Trip
On Thursday, February 4th, the students will be attending an "all school" bowling field trip to celebrate Catholic Schools Week! We thought it would be a nice way to encourage all of the students to participate in a fun activity together.

The students will be provided with 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, and a hotdog lunch with french fries and a drink. They will be transported to Brookgate Lanes and back to school by school bus.
