Activities/Clubs

Mrs. Bliss, Mrs. Corradini and Ms. Jenkins run our SGA. There are two classroom reps from every homeroom in grades 5-8 and an Officer Board which consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary Treasurer and Sargent at Arms. These positions are elected positions which adhere to a strict Student Senate Constitution for Behavior and Conduct. For more information contact Mrs. Bliss.

Mrs. Baden has brought back our Art Club. This was open to all 8th graders and will meet monthly afterschool in the Art Room. One of their first projects will be a mural in our Middle School Wing.

Please contact Mrs. Beckles or Mrs. Byrd for more information.

Students in grade 8 represent our school to use their knowledge and battle against other schools. Questions cover such topics as math, science, history, and current events. The team will practice during lunch/recess throughout the school year.

The St. Pius X 2nd and 3rd grade Book Club meets once per month. We begin with a prayer, eat a snack provided by parents, complete an activity, and discuss the book. The prayer, snack, activity and discussion all relate to the story in some way. Most books are part of a series so that if a student enjoys the book, they may want to read others in the series! Contact Ms. Feronti at eferonti@stpiusbowie.org or Miss Cavanagh at ccavanagh@stpiusbowie.org.

Meetings are monthly on Fridays from 3-5pm in the Library

Moderator: Ms. Farina

Chorus, Grades 5-8, Wednesdays after school

This is the general Chorus. We rehearse every week and put on concerts for the school and for parents twice a year, at Christmas and in the Spring. We usually have about 70 members.

This year we plan to once again accept the invitation to march in the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in Washington DC in April. We will join approximately 600 other kids from around the country and march as one big youth chorus, stopping to sing together at two or three places along the route. It's very exciting for us all.

Honors Chorus, Fridays at 3-4 pm

Honors Chorus is an audition group. Only 20 chorus students are in the Honors Chorus. Honors represent the St. Pius School and chorus at events when the general chorus would be too large, such as school assemblies and special events like the Catholic Schools Open House. Occasionally, Honors is invited to sing outside the school, too, and they represent SPX beautifully every time.

Honors also fill in to help the Liturgical Choir when there is a need for more voices at our all-school masses.

Liturgical Choir, Thursday mornings at 7:30

Liturgical Choir is made up primarily of 8th graders, with a few Honors Chorus members supporting when necessary. We usually have about 15 members. This group sings at the all-school masses and for any other liturgical events where needed. This is a ministry, as opposed to a performance group, and the students involved serve the school in a wonderful way, by leading their fellow students in prayer through song.

The SPX Green Team is a collaboration of students and parent volunteers who promote environmental stewardship through educational awareness and eco-friendly initiatives. A few ongoing initiatives include recycling crayons, markers, paper, and printer cartridges. For more information, please check NewsNotes.
