Students in Second Grade have outdoor recess each morning and afternoon. Physical activity is so important! We also supplement learning through special projects and field trips. The fall field trip is to A Time for Science in Grifton. In March, we visit Sylvan Heights Bird Park. In May, we visit Beaufort (also known as "the best field trip ever").
We also have several celebrations through the year for various holidays along with an and End of the Year Party. We do not have a Halloween Party because of our school's massive and fabulous Halloween Carnival.
Second Grade students get to participate in what we call NUT Days (No Uniform Today) each month during the year. Students also get to have an extra NUT Day during their birthday month.
Other activities the students get to enjoy include service projects, the Scholastic Book Fair in the fall and spring, Veteran's Day Mass, Grandparents and Special Friends Day, Catholic Schools Week, Pastor's Day Prayer Service and Breakfast, Spirit Week in February and Field Day in May.
