GCCMT Competition Fun

Power of the Pen

Chess Club

Students in grades K - 8 may participate in a chess development program from Progress with Chess. Sessions include interactive lessons and structured open play opportunities.

Morning Announcements

Students in 5th grade and up may audition to be part of the Morning Announcements crew. The announcements are filmed weekly and are viewed by each grade level in the morning.

Earth Ambassadors

Earth Ambassadors should read “Students in grades 3- 6 can be part of the Earth Ambassadors Club, a group that is tackling environmental issues here at school and beyond.  They are in charge of school-wide recycling efforts and plan the school-wide Earth Day Celebration.  They live out our call to care for God’s creation.

X-STREAM Games Challenge

Students may participate in the X-STREAM Games Challenge sponsored by the Diocese of Cleveland.  Each school year, students have opportunities to create STREAM projects that are entered into a Diocese-wide competition.
