Activities
In the years since opening the school, Christian Fellowship has added numerous extracurricular activities for the students. In the fall, boys soccer and girl’s volleyball is offered. Students as young as sixth grade are encouraged to become involved. In the winter months, boy's and girl's basketball along with both varsity and junior varsity cheerleading are offered. The spring months include girl’s soccer, a coed golf and a coed track team. All of Christian Fellowship School’s sport's teams compete against other Christian high school teams throughout the state of Missouri. At the end of each season, the teams go to Joplin, Missouri to compete in the state wide competition of Christian schools. Other activities that Christian Fellowship School offers its students include the yearbook team and drama team. Each year the drama team performs a play for the school and community. Also at the end of each year, students compete in the ACSI state-wide competition. Numerous academic areas are included in this competition including art, science projects, musical pieces and performances, written work, and mathematical competitions.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
