The Rambler visited MTA today! Our first graders shared candy, and every grade joined in with fist bumps, high fives, and plenty of “Roll Ramblers!” It’s been a great day of fun and school spirit! #RollRamblers #MTAPride

Unfortunately, first and second grade’s field trip to Port Farms was postponed due to the rain today. However, that didn’t get them down! They decided to take advantage and decorate their own pumpkins! Happy Halloween! #MTA #HalloweenFun 🎃

Our students had the opportunity to attend the Manufacturer & Business Association’s Manufacturing (MFG) Day at the Bayfront Convention Center yesterday.

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 month of September! #MTA #Family 🔵🟠⚪

Second grade had a blast making apple volcanoes in science today! Learning about chemical reactions has never been so fun (or so fizzy)! #MTA #ScienceFun 🍎🌋🧪

Last Friday, we celebrated the feast day of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, also known as Mother Teresa. She spent her life serving the poorest of the poor, showing everyone that even the smallest acts of love can make a great difference. To honor her, one student from each grade was chosen to bring forward a flower to place in front of Mother Teresa’s statue. These students were selected because they, too, have shown the virtues of Mother Teresa in their lives—by caring for others, serving with love, trusting in God, standing up for what is right, and showing humility.

May Saint Teresa of Calcutta continue to inspire us to look for ways, big or small, to serve others each day and to let God’s love shine through us. #MTA

It has been a great start to the year at MTA! Today, Middle School science classes had to solve a mystery in class. They had to use microscopes and look at unknown slides to determine if evidence collected was plant or animal cells. #MTA #Science 🔬
