Enrichment

St. Mel School offers an extensive extra-curricular athletic program, primarily through the PAL (Parochial Athletic League). The boys in sixth, seventh and eighth grades can play flag football. Boys and girls in fifth through eighth grades are able to participate in cross-country, volleyball, track and field events, while students in sixth through eighth grades can participate in golf and bowling. We have basketball teams for boys and girls in first through eighth grades. Soccer is available to all of the children and is administered by the Fair Oaks Soccer Club.
