Our 8th graders savored an afternoon of food, bowling, laughter, and camaraderie, triumphantly closing one school chapter and boldly embracing the next!

Yesterday's May Crowning celebration was a significant highlight. Appreciation is extended to Fr. Don of St. Catherine, who graciously led the procession and delivered meditative reflections, and to Holly Amodio, our 4th grade religion teacher, for her outstanding work and planning. Congratulations to all our First Holy Communicants.

The students in our 5th-grade history class had to select a significant invention from the pre- to post-Civil War era, research it, and present their findings. Here are some of their creative projects.

Students in the American History and Literature Course have not only read novels and speeches to understand the power of words, pored over maps, and studied past and current historical events, but thanks to fabulous guest speakers they have also engaged in hands-on learning outside the classroom, scrutinized primary historical documents in the classroom,
and been introduced to the power of images from the White House and around the world to create narratives and influence people.

Dr. Carl Amodio came to speak to Mrs. Amodio’s 6th grade anatomy class about how to protect their brains from harmful food ingredients. He also discussed the dangers of environmental toxins we are exposed to daily and how the foods we eat can help protect our brain.
