Arts

Band creates responsibility, nurtures self-expression, improves academic performance, teaches perseverance, and creates a sense of achievement. Instrumental ensemble practice and performance is beneficial to our future leaders. The Band program at All Saints Catholic School allows students to grow as a collective unity by developing cognitive skills, building lasting friendships, and strengthening abilities needed for success in all areas of life.

Orchestra creates responsibility, nurtures self-expression, improves academic performance, teaches perseverance, and creates a sense of achievement. Instrumental ensemble practice and performance is beneficial to our future leaders. The Orchestra program at All Saints Catholic School allows students to grow as a collective unity by developing cognitive skills, building lasting friendships, and strengthening abilities needed for success in all areas of life.

The All Saints Catholic School Choirs are a positive musical experience for all members. Choir is not only a place to learn, grow and express musically, but it is also a place to build character through cooperation, responsibility and respect. Many students discover that being in a choral group is like having an extended family, as there is a special bond that is created among people who make music together. Singing in choir also helps improve mental discipline, enhance social interaction, as well as develop teamwork and pride in one’s work.

  • Students who are involved in the choral program should be aware that being a member of choir is different from being in any other class. We perform. That being the case, your work is evaluated on two levels: the process (rehearsal) and the product (performances). As we grow together in our rehearsal process, please remember that having a safe, supportive, and fun learning environment is our goal as we prepare the product–a wonderful performance for an appreciative audience.
  • Students in All Saints Catholic School Choirs will:
    • Learn about and use correct vocal techniques
    • Sing in unison, 2- and 3-part harmony
    • Study music from other historical eras and cultures
    • Sing with a variety of expressive qualities
    • Understand basic music theory concepts
    • Develop sight-reading skills using Solfege
    • Perform in 2 concerts
    • Optional events will also be available (i.e., Christmas caroling, Six Flags Music in the Parks and others)
  • Concert Dates:
    • March 2, 2024–WSMA Solo and Ensemble Festival (OPTIONAL)-JI Case HS (Racine)

The arts are part of a well-rounded education. Students at ASCS have the opportunity to learn all about the theater in various ways: singing, dancing, acting, sound and lighting, stage management, and costuming. Theater allows students to express themselves and build friendships with their peers. Many students go on to incorporate theater into their high school and college lives.

  • Middle School Musical in the Fall
  • Grade 5 Musical in the Spring
  • Grade 3 Nativity Play at Christmas

“We must all do theater, to find out who we are, and to discover who we could become.” -Augusto Boal

Clubs

All Saints Catholic School offers many teacher guided student clubs. Club meetings are held both during and after school.

Get inspired to create your own projects: scarves, placemats, hats, purses, phone cases etc. The youth of America are getting more and more hands on. Join the growing rise in crafting—plus get inspired to create your own crochet or knitting projects. Crocheting/knitting skills have shown to strengthen fingers, improve handwriting/fine motor function as well as enhance math & problem solving skills.

Students in grades 5-8 interested in joining ASCS Crochet/Knitting Club should fill out the attached form return it to Mrs. Capelli. Then accept the invitation to join the club’s Google Classroom.

Club meets on 12 scheduled Mondays from 3:15-4:00 pm in Room 204. Join for Fall, Spring, or both. Add the dates to your calendar, as no confirmations will be sent.

Students will need to purchase yarn and a crochet hook before the first club meeting. To start, I recommend crochet hook sizes H/8-5.00 MM or J/10-6.00 MM and skeins of Hobby Lobby’s 100% Fundamental Cotton from Yarn Bee for making a placemat. Choose various colors.
