We are the St. Isidore Grizzlies!
All St. Isidore activities are supervised by volunteers who have undergone mandatory training under the Pennsylvania Child Protective Services Law and Archdiocesan Policy for the Protection of Children & Young People.
Sports
A fun physical education program is part of the St. Isidore curriculum. We also have healthy, family oriented events such as a 5K fundraiser and Field Day, but we also offer opportunities for competitive team play.

We have teams for both experienced and beginning players. For more information call Joe Volpe at 215-407- 7111 or email LCicehockey@comcast.net.
Music/Band
Every student receives music instruction as part of the St. Isidore curriculum which leads to two concerts each year: one before Christmas and one in the Spring. Early Childhood classes have a separate concert from our Elementary and Middle school students. Some Elementary and Middle school students have the opportunity to be cast for lead speaking, performing and/or dancing roles. Recent productions have included selections from musicals such as Annie, Godspell, and Disney’s Cinderella.
All Third grade students learn and perform with recorders as part of an introductory musical instrument program. Instruments and instructional scores are provided by our Parents As Partners organization (PAPA). They perform at the concerts and during special events such as the Thanksgiving Feast.
In addition, parents can sign children up for group music lessons through Northeastern Music Programs starting in Third grade. Instruments taught include flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, percussion and violin. These musicians are also featured in our biannual concerts. Instrument rentals are available through Menchey Music.
Fourth and Fifth grade musicians are encouraged to audition for the Archdiocese Festival Band. Sixth through Eighth grade musicians can audition for Honor Band. More information is at Archdiocesan Elementary Music.
