Congratulations to the students in PreK through Grade 8 who were celebrated at today's S.T.A.R.E. Luncheon. This month, students were recognized for being enthusiastic learners.
Our 4th Grade students wrote a heartfelt "Dear My ______" message to a special person in their life. Their book was published and each student has received a copy. Miss Fichter, our 4th Grade teacher, hosted a tea party so the students could share their messages and illustrations with the subject of their essay. What a special event for all involved!
Congratulations to this year's Invention Convention winners from Grade 5: 1st Place - "The Duo Cup" (Thomas Reynolds); 2nd Place - "Funnel Vision" (Henry Payne and Ryan Yura); 3rd Place - "The Life-Saving Skirt and Belt" (Savannah Pierre and Troi Moore-Blake); Students' Choice - "The Movie Marathon Helper" (Anabelle Hunnicutt and Gabriella Velez). The event was covered in a segment on NBC10 - hope you caught it!
To mark the 100th Day of School, our Kindergarten teachers were replaced for the day by their 100-year-old counterparts, Miss Pearl and Miss Helen. The students had an awesome day celebrating all things 100!
Congratulations to the winners of the Grades 5 to 8 Catholic Schools Week 2020 Religion Bowl! The students were so well-prepared and had studied so hard that they exhausted all questions posed to them - how wonderful to know your faith so well! Kara Loeffler (Grade 5), Abigail Lobis and Sophie Loeffler (tied in Grade 6), Jolene Morath (Grade 7), and Dakota Poland (Grade 8) were the overall classroom winners.
The Holy Trinity Girls Junior Varsity CYO basketball team captured the Region 19 championship, finishing the season with a 14-3 record. Congratulations, girls!
Our faculty and staff spent Valentine's Day on retreat at the St. Rita of Cascia Shrine in South Philadelphia. The day was spent in prayer and reflection, with "Catholic Quizzo" thrown in for some fun. Spending time together to pray and learn is always appreciated by our staff, and allows all to return to the students refreshed.
Thank you to all the very special people who attended Grandpals' Day - a wonderful event that allows our students to share their school with their loved ones! From the Grandpals who danced in the cafeteria, to those who tried to "escape" the 5th Grade classroom, to the trivia whizzes in 8th Grade, a good time was had by all!
Students in Kindergarten through Grade 2 were visited by Officer John Yeager of the Falls Township Police Department as part of the Cops 'n' Kids of the Delaware Valley literacy program. The students were read to by program volunteers and got to choose a book to have autographed by Officer Yeager that they will add to their home libraries. Once again, WPVI Action News was there to cover it all! Thank you to Mrs. Raudenbush for coordinating this visit and to the volunteers from the AAUW (American Association of University Women) Makefield Area Branch who brought the program to Holy Trinity School again this year.
