The school day does not end at dismissal because students may choose to participate in a plethora of extracurricular activities. The St. Francis Children’s choir is a perfect way for any child to express his or her musical talent. The choir sings for special masses and travels to local destinations, such as the State Capitol and Charleston Town Center for seasonal concerts and ends each year with a dramatic Dinner Show. The musical possibilities do not end with singing. St. Francis is proud to be the only elementary school in Kanawha County to offer a band program for fourth and fifth grade students. If your child has a yearning for the stage, the theater arts club might be just what you’re looking for. Check Mate! We offer students the opportunity to be a member of a competition chess team, whose many trophies sit proudly in our trophy case. Our championship basketball teams practice in the school’s full-sized gym (the only elementary school in town with a full-sized gym). The reputation of our highly-skilled basketball players is well-known and much respected in the basketball community.
