Yesterday, Ms. Nolan’s room had a room transformation while the eighth graders turned into detectives. Students solved several clues to complete the “Slope Murder Mystery!” #MTA #Math 🔎
Several eighth graders volunteered to teach second grade with a stations activity. The eighth graders practiced great leadership skills. The theme of the activity was math concepts relating to future careers. The first station, led by Savanna and Rebekah, was carpentry and practicing measuring. The second station, led by Marquis, Bianca, and Makenzi, involved a variety of jobs. They were teachers and corrected papers, cooks making equal equations, builders building towers with blocks. When they completed their jobs, they earned money for them to shop. The third station, led by Ashton and Emele, was all about clocks and telling time. The final station, led by AJ, Monet, and Lanayla, included subtraction as a countdown. #MTA #Math
Second grade kicked off the new year with penguins! The class learned that penguins have a special waxy coating on their feathers that keep them dry while they swim in the ocean. To recreate this, students used crayons to color pictures of a penguin, then sprayed water on them. The class made observations about how the water droplets rested on top of the crayon and didn't seep through. Their colored penguins stayed completely dry just like real penguins do! #MTA 🐧
Happy New Year! As we begin this new journey in 2025, we thank you all for truly making a difference in our students' lives, not just in 2024, but always! Thank you for your continued support and generosity in 2025, and may the new year bless you with health, prosperity, and happiness. #MTA #HappyNewYear 🎆

Our third annual “Winter Wonderland” holiday concert was held last Thursday.

Happy holidays everyone! #MTA #WinterWonderland 🎄❄🎅🤶⛄
The “S.A.I.N.T. of the Month” program is a way to acknowledge and celebrate individual achievement. It helps create a school culture that values academic success, as well as elevates awareness of student contributions to the learning environment. We are very proud of the students chosen for the months of November/December! #MTA #Family 🔵🟠⚪
We wish everyone in our Saints community a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. We are deeply grateful for the positive difference each of you makes in the lives of our students! #MTA #HappyThanksgiving 🦃
Our winners of the MTA Pumpkin Patch are in! Throughout the month of October, students created their very own pumpkin designs in Mrs. Rodgers’ Art classes. Together, they looked at many examples of ways pumpkins are decorated, from carving to painting, and everything in between. Our students' pumpkins have lined the walls of MTA and allowed for students to view and vote on the ones that were their favorites. Student took part in class critiques, where we got to discuss the pumpkin works and help one another decide on our voting. We have loved seeing their creativity, and we can’t wait to see what we have in store for the rest of the year! #MTA #ArtFun 🎃🎨
Students and faculty collected items for “blessing bags” to be delivered to those less fortunate in our community. Each bag included toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, hand sanitizer, granola bars and warm socks. Student Council packed the bags, and they were then delivered to the Erie City Mission, where their outreach team will distribute them to those in need. #MTA #Service #Community 🧡💙
