The Season of Lent has begun! We celebrated our weekly mass on Wednesday in observance of Ash Wednesday with Fr. Mike DeMartinis. The ashes come from blessed palms from Palm Sunday of the previous year to symbolize penance and repentance. May everyone have a blessed Lenten season! #MTA #Lent ✝️
The “S.A.I.N.T. of the Month” program is a way to acknowledge and celebrate individual achievement.

Congratulations to second grade! They raised the most money in the entire school for our Catholic Schools Week fundraiser and chose Happy Bark as their charity. Happy Bark is an amazing organization that rescues dogs from Kentucky and helps them find their forever home right here in the Erie area. Extra special shoutout to Happy Bark for helping Ms. Fuhrman find and adopt her puppy, Lue! Way to go Saints! Your generosity, leadership, and heart while supporting such a great cause are unmatched! #MTA #Community 🐶
We closed out Catholic Schools Week last week with some fun activities!

Second grade learned all about electricity last week! They learned how Ben Franklin proved that lightning is a form of electricity through his flying kite experiment. Ms. Fuhrman dressed up as Ben Franklin to help deliver the message! #MTA ⚡️🪁

Third and fourth graders are learning all about the formation of snowflakes! They made crystals, which are the building blocks of snowflakes, out of Borax, pipe cleaners, and hot water. Lessons on how other variables like temperature and wind affect the shape were also presented. Looking at them through a microscope was especially cool! #MTA ❄️🔬
