Nativity of Mary Catholic School's mission is to "foster academic excellence and spiritual growth." As part of this mission, students have the opportunity to join various clubs. Clubs and activities empower students to learn more about their own personal interests and strengths. Here is just a sampling of active clubs to enrich the mind and soul at Nativity. Don't see a club that interests your child? Make a suggestion! Clubs are started based on student and family interest.

Theater 

K-8: Nativity of Mary students participate in various theatrical experiences. The Kindergarten class produces Los Posadas each year. The 6th grade class does a winter play. Middle School produces a spring musical. Watch for auditions and information for these various productions throughout the school year.

Students in 7th grade prepare for the Minnesota State Science Fair by researching their own project. Students showcase their projects at Nativity and are judged by outside science experts. Selected students will go on to compete both Regionally and in the State. In 2016, we had a Nativity student win three distinguished awards at the Minnesota Science Fair. Mrs. Flynn coordinates the Science Fair project.

Mr. Bohman coaches the Nativity Math Team. Students in Middle School meet in the morning to learn key skills to compete. They attend various competitions throughout the year. In 2016, we took 2nd place in our Region.
