Last week was Saints Celebrate Reading Week! Monday was Hats off to Reading Day, Tuesday was Snuggle up With a Book Day, Wednesday was Mismatch Day, Thursday was Team Up for Reading Day, and Friday was Literary Legends Day. Each day, students and teachers dressed up according to the theme. On Tuesday, students enjoyed playing reading-themed Kahoot!, while on Thursday they read and colored bookmarks with buddies! It was an amazing week celebrating the power of reading! #MTA #SaintsCelebrateReading 📚

Fifth grade completed their “Mini Life-Size Figure” projects in Mrs. Rodgers art class! Students worked in groups to create figures that could be placed around the school. Their figure had to show some sort of motion. They had so much fun making these, and it was even more fun seeing the rest of the school's reactions to the figures when they appeared in the windows out front of the school and in the office! #MTA #Art 🎨🖌️
Our boys basketball team was invited to watch the Lake Erie Jackals play at Edinboro’s McComb Fieldhouse this past weekend! The team had the opportunity to meet the players, take pictures, and get autographs. The Jackals are a professional team that plays in the Basketball Super League. #MTA 🏀
Student Council recently hosted a dress down to benefit the Anna Shelter. Students had the opportunity to tour the shelter, meet the animals, and present the check on Friday. Great job, Saints! #MTA #Community 🐶🐱

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 ✝️

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!

The Catholic Schools Week fun continued as students dressed up as their future career! It was amazing to see all our futures, nurses, teachers, athletes, artists, and scientists! #MTA #CSW2026
For Catholic Schools Week, Cathedral Prep’s AFJROTC came over to help our elementary students celebrate our nation! Our students learned about the “13 fold” used to honor our flag, practiced commands, and played a game to highlight all the great things they learned! #MTA #CSW2026
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 ⚡️🪁
