We work hard daily towards the mission of our school—to guide our students to become respectful, responsible, and productive citizens through quality academic instruction that is grounded in Catholic teachings and tradition. With you as your child’s primary and most important teacher, we are here to help you build a solid foundation of academic and leadership success.

Art
Our Students will practice using the elements of art and principles of design through various art projects throughout the year with Ms. Cier. Students will explore the history of art and art’s place in different cultures. During this process, students will meet the following four Visual Arts Core Standards: Creating Art, Presenting Art, Responding to Art and Connecting Art to the many facets of the world in which they live.
Drama Club
Drama club is for students in 5th-7th grade. If you are planning on trying out for a part in the play, keep Thursday after school open for rehearsals. Watch for tryouts in September. For more information you can email Mrs. Lacombe at slacombe@cosgriff.org
Shakespeare
Our eighth grade students perform one of Shakespeare’s many works each year. Students learned how to audition, memorize and block their scenes, and support each other. Students are also provided classroom instruction about Shakespeare’s life, his plays, the Globe Theater, life under the reign of Queen Elizabeth; including: occupations, customs, dress. Students have a part in the show and several hold additional roles including: sound effects, props, costumes, hair and makeup, stage manager, vocal performance, piano performance, dancing, and assistant director.
Cosgriff offers band to both beginners and more advanced players. We teach a variety of instruments including, but not limited to Trumpet, Trombone, Clarinet, Saxophone, Flute, Violin, and Percussion. Look for more information from Mr. Downes to come.
