📣 Catholic education needs your voice — TODAY.

House Bill 2632 in Harrisburg would cut back and ultimately eliminate the EITC scholarship program — the lifeline that permitted the families of 4,248 students in the Diocese of Allentown – 49% of all students – and thousands more families across Pennsylvania to afford a Catholic education for their children during the past school year alone.

The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference warns HB 2632 would cut $102 million in funding, tie the program up in red tape, and could force some Catholic schools to close. The children hurt most would be those who need the help most.

✅ Take 2 minutes. Tell your legislators to OPPOSE HB 2632.

🦅🦌🐢🔥 Fourth grade students visited Waterloo Village for their end-of-year field trip, exploring Lenape Village on Winakung Island!

Throughout this school year, our 4th grade classes learned about the history and Indigenous peoples of Pennsylvania. Their field trip brought those lessons to life as students discovered the importance of essential resources like water and fire through hands-on experiences and interactive activities. From playing corn toss and learning Lenape words and phrases to matching animal prints, our students had an unforgettable day of learning and exploration!! 🐾🦉🌿💙💛

☀️ 😎 🌊 Today, we celebrated the culmination of a school year we will never forget. Students and teachers gathered for Mass as we recognized our May Virtue of the Month recipients, honored for their love, compassion, kindness, and grace in imitation of Mary, Our Blessed Mother. 💙💛

We also presented our end-of-year awards. The Sister Patricia Cullen Award was given to 2nd grader Harper H. and 6th grader Bryce N., while the Kathy Maziarz Community Service Award was presented to 7th grader Amalia C.

In addition, 7th graders Logan O. and Riley S. received flowers and special gifts in recognition of their extraordinary dedication to assisting our Kindergarten through 3rd grade students with reading at Mass throughout the school year. Students were also recognized with the Diocese of Allentown Religious Award. Congratulations to all of our award recipients on their well-deserved honors!! ✨

Our 2nd grade classes enjoyed a special getaway without having to leave their classrooms as Mrs. Camasta’s 2A students transformed their room into the beach, complete with luaus, crafts, and beach themed snacks!! ⛱️ 😎 🌺

Meanwhile, in Mrs. Dashe’s 2B class, students turned their desks into personal campsites featuring good books, yummy snacks, and fun activities. They even gathered around the “campfire” together for storytime!! 🌲⛺🔥🔦
