Students in our Intermediate Unit (Grades 3, 4, & 5) participated in Social Studies Quizzo! The student teams were mixed across grade levels so that each student had an equal chance to be an "expert" on a topic from their unit's Social Studies curriculum. This activity helped students prepare for upcoming Terra Nova standardized tests and fostered collaboration across grade levels. The friendly competition was fun for all!
Congratulations to our Grade 2 students who received the sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time - the initial step on the exciting path to their First Holy Communion next spring!
In its second mock trial, Holy Trinity School 7th and 8th Grade students took on the roles of attorney, plaintiff, defendant, and witnesses, with 6th Grade students and faculty members acting as jurors. The trial is the culmination of a five-week Mock Trial Club sponsored by Holy Trinity School and made possible by four attorney volunteers: Cori Martin, Esq., Corryn Kronnagel, Esq., Keith Halloran, Esq., and Joseph Pargola, J.D. Ms. Nancy Hecker worked with the students throughout the duration of the club as a mentor. The Honorable Michael W. Petrucci presided as the judge for the mock trial. In addition to preparing their cases, the students also learned the ins-and-outs of a courtroom, discussed the trial process, and discovered various careers in the legal field as part of the afterschool club. Holy Trinity School would like to extend a special thank you to the courthouse staff for allowing our students to utilize this facility for the trial and to the attorneys who volunteered their time to bring a wonderful experience for our students!
