Both girls and boys in grades K-3 may participate in our Upward's Football Program that CLS opens to the public over the summer.
Robotics Club: Open to any 6th - 8th grader, it meets twice a week after school starting after Labor Day until their final competition in December. They design and build robots from LEGO's and use the computer to program them to complete certain tasks for competition. Every year our Robotics Club has earned the right to compete at the Indiana State competition.
Cub Scouts: This program is for all boys from 1st - 5th grades. Cub Scouting means "doing." Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.
Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.
Boy Scouts: This program is for boys 11 years of age and older.
The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and through nearly a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
Junior Congregation: This group is made up of 6-10 eighth grade students that want to serve others. Application is made after school starts. Primarily, they assist the school in its worship life. Their responsibilities include ushering at the chapel services, seeing that the chapel banner is displayed, deciding where offerings are sent, heading up canned goods drives, and helping with adopted Christmas families.
Student Council: This group is made up of 2 students from each junior high grade. They are elected by their classmates. Their duties include being a voice for the students, planning fun days at school, organizing community service projects, and plan junior high dances.
Other Student Opportunities: At various times during the school year, CLS will advertise any opportunities for students to join. Girl Scouts, sports leagues, and others frequently submit information that parents and students can find in the weekly school newsletter.
