Craft Club

In previous years, Craft Club has taught students to knit so they are able to add items to the hat and mitten tree for CFO! Mrs. Green is the moderator.

Key Club

Sponsored by Kiwanis International, this organization is a community and school-service oriented group. Their goal is to help others in need. Key Club sponsors four Bloodmobiles per year and organizes Christmas For Others, an all-school project that has collected funds, food, clothing and toys for area needy for four decades. It is Northeast Ohio’s largest student-organized holiday service project.  Click here for more information about Bloodmobile.  Ms. Cook and Ms. Oles are the moderators.

St. Francis School Partnership

Padua students get together with children at St. Francis Elementary School through the Church in the City program — tutoring for older kids and play time with the younger kids.

Teen Institute

Teen Institute, known as T.I., offers activities for Padua students without the stress of alcohol and other drugs. They plan such events as bowling outings, parties, and trips to places like Dover Lake Park and ice skating. Teen Institute is made up of over 100 diverse Padua students who have one thing in common…they are committed to having fun, and they don’t believe in the need for substances to accomplish this task. This group frequently makes trips to grade schools where they peer-teach eighth graders via skits and energizers. Their main objective is to discuss with the kids issues surrounding drugs, alcohol, and high school pressures.  Mrs. Giulivo is the moderator.
