The mission of St. Francis of Assisi School extra curricular programs is to provide all students an equal opportunity to learn and achieve the fundamental skills and develop the basics of an activity within the context of a quality program. Providing a foundation for future life skills, participants will also learn teamwork, responsibility, dedication and good sportsmanship. Co-curricular activities will be open to all students who desire to participate and meet the eligibility requirements, and all participants shall learn how to represent their school and community well and extend the mission of the Diocese of Des Moines and St. Francis Of Assisi School.
