EXTRACURRICULARS
God has created all of us in his image with many different talents and skills. Divine Redeemer Lutheran School strives to help children realize their full potential and areas of talent, not only through the challenging curriculum but also, through exciting extracurricular activities. These activities encourage growth and development of the "whole child" and options increase with the student's grade level. Most extracurricular athletic opportunities begin in fifth grade. During the school year, there are opportunities for students in some of the lower grades to participate in pep squad, cross-country, and other events that may be held at Divine Redeemer, local High Schools, and/or other schools in the area. The school's newsletter will list these opportunities for parents to consider.
