Kindergarten’s Backwards Bootcamp has begun!! Yesterday, for “Z” day, they went to the zoo. First grade even tagged along! It was a great day! #MTA #BackwardsBootcamp 🐒🐢🦏🐗🐅🦁
Monday was Earth Day! What better way to celebrate than cleaning up the grounds and planting flowers! #MTA #EarthDay 🌎🌷
Third and fourth grade had an opportunity to see what AFJROTC is all about! Students were able to watch a demonstration, ask questions, and play a game of knockout to practice following commands. Congratulations to Damon ’29 and Gemariah ’28 for winning knockout! #MTA #AFJROTC
Eighth grade put in work in the STEAM Lab! They created their own 3D printed nightlights wired with LED lights. #MTA #STEAM 💡

Our big brothers and sisters from Prep held a “Bunny Bash” for kindergarten, first and second grade! Students were able to partake in Easter games and coloring activities! It was a great way to spend the day before break! #MTA #Easter #Family 🐰🐣
Yesterday, we celebrated the upcoming solar eclipse and dressed in a blackout across the school! Students received their solar eclipse glasses so they can safely view the astronomical highlight of 2024! Have a wonderful spring break and remember to watch the solar eclipse on April 8! #MTA #SolarEclipse2024
Today, eighth grade used Cheez-It crackers to prove the Pythagorean Theorem! They determined it took 16 crackers to fill the area of square a, and nine to fill the area of square b. All the crackers were then used to fill the area of square c, proving why the Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+ b^2= c^2. #MTA #Math 🧀
Second grade has been working on poetry portfolios for the past month and they just wrapped them up today. They worked so hard and completed eight different poems to add to their portfolio! #MTA #Poetry 📖
As we gear up for Easter Break, we wanted to take some time to reflect on Saints Celebrate Reading Week that kicked off this month! We are so grateful to the many readers we had stop by to read us all the fun and amazing books! #MTA #SaintsCelebrateReadingWeek 📚
In honor of Catholic Schools Week in February and to celebrate the theme of the week, “United in Faith and Community,” we had school-wide penny war. The students in the winning classroom were promised the opportunity to donate all the funds raised to a local charity of their choice. First grade pulled out the win and chose to donate the total funds raised throughout the school to Emma’s Footprints. Earlier this week, we presented the organization with a check for $864.53. Great job, Saints! #MTA #Community

Kindergarten did not catch the leprechauns! They did, however, trashed our room, made our toilets green, took our coins and lucky charms! They also wrote us a note in rainbow popsicle sticks, "You can not catch me!" They left us magic rocks telling us better luck next time! The magical rocks were washed off with the leprechaun's magic water, and they bubbled up and revealed our coins!! Next year leprechauns...next year! #MTA #StPatricksDay ☘
Middle school completed an escape room today! They had a leprechaun visit and destroy the room before classes! Students had to team together to complete different challenges to help trap the leprechaun. Challenges that included authors purpose, text structure and context clues! Students who completed the challenge helped trap the leprechaun, while those who didn’t had to help clean up the mess he made. #MTA ☘
