Irish Soccer is parent-run, intra-mural soccer program for St. Monica Students in Early Childhood through 3^rd Grade. This low-key commitment is a great way to enjoy St. Monica community and introduce your younger students to the sport! Irish Soccer is only 5 Saturdays in the spring, with practice beginning at 9 AM and games beginning afterward at 9:30 AM. Students are divided into teams, all run by parent volunteer coaches, and team T-shirts are provided thanks to local sponsors. The practices/games take place in the large field behind St. Monica school. Go Irish!

8th Grade students have the opportunity to run for Student Council President,  with 7th and 8th grade students vying for Vice President , Treasurer, Secretary, and Communication Officer each year. Student Council focuses on service projects, pep rallies, and other school-wide, fun activities! The student council aims to integrate service with building community within the school.  

Each year, 4th and 5th Grade students participate in a team competition based on knowledge of books.  Students are assign books to read from January until the competition in March.  The competition is comprised of short-answer, multiple choice, and true/false questions based on the books that they were to read.  The winning team at the school level will advance to the district level which is hosted at one of our local Catholic schools.

United Rocket Football is offered to grades 3rd-8th. This is a club football program that plays in the Kalamazoo Valley Rocket Football League. The team is made up of students from Kalamazoo Christian and Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo.  The league rules also allow for students who attend other private schools or home school and live in the greater Kalamazoo area. 

St. Monica Students have the opportunity to participate with Kalamazoo Parks & Recreation Department for after-school golf, bowling and archery. These provide even more outlets for the different interests of our students!
