Basketball and Pasta


It was a wonderful way to end the winter sports season. Basketball players, cheerleaders and their families joined together for a pasta dinner to celebrate the children's efforts. All participants were honored and presented with a medal. Graduating 8th grade students were also given a trophy and sweatshirt. We will miss you next year!

Confirmation


The cool drizzle didn't dampen our spirits. Almost sixty 7th and 8th grade students accepted the gift of the Holy Spirit when they made the Sacrament of Confirmation. This newly confirmed student shown here with Sister, was eager to share his joy with all.

St. Patrick's Day


First grade couldn't celebrate St. Patrick's day without making Irish potatoes! Everyone had the opportunity to roll them and dip them in cinnamon. They packaged the potatoes to go home. They can't wait to share the treats with mom and dad!

Yoga fun for PreK

What a great way to enhance learning the letter of the week! How about bringing in a yoga teacher for "Y" week? The little ones had lots of fun stretching and reaching and learning about yoga.

Music from MAC


Today, our K-2 students were treated to a special program courtesy of the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts. As part of MAC's Music Education Program, they brought the John Philip Sousa Living History Program to our students. The program places a strong emphasis on the value of music and encouraging young musicians. A costumed living history character portraying America’s March King entertained and educated the children.
