Last week, we had a special visit from Sister Margaret Rose Adams, Assistant Superintendent of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Sister Margaret Rose spent the morning with us at Holy Trinity School and it was a full agenda — a meeting with Mr. McCusker and Msgr. Eckert, a tour of our buildings, and visiting with each class. Sister Margaret Rose was very impressed with our school climate, and found our students to be very welcoming, and each room passed her quiz of the different flags. PreKA even shared their caroling songs and did a little performance. Sister Margaret Rose also thanked all of our teachers and staff for their dedication and commitment to Catholic Education. We thank Sister Margaret Rose for her continued support of Holy Trinity!
