Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this initiative a success. Your support reflects the spirit of compassion and community that defines our school. #MTA #Community

Last Friday was our first night of Holiday Care Club. Everyone had a blast! We played many games, did crafts and coloring, watched “The Grinch,” enjoyed pizza and popcorn, and had a dance party! #MTA #HolidayCareClub 🎅

Saint Nicholas made an early stop at MTA today! Some of our seventh and eighth graders walked around to each class and shared his story. Students learned about his generosity, his life, and how they can follow his example by showing God’s love to others. K–2 even set their shoes out in the hallway and found candy canes waiting for them, and every grade enjoyed a special treat from St. Nick. A joyful way to prepare for his feast day tomorrow! #MTA

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 🦃

Students had the opportunity to view “The Man of the Shroud Exhibit” in St. Peter Cathedral last week. The exhibit featured a full-length photographic replica of the Shroud of Turin, along with 31 display panels that guided viewers through both the science and the sacred history surrounding it. Miss Carlson and Mrs. Rodgers spent time during their classes for students to experience the exhibit. Students and teachers alike left in amazement of seeing the Shroud and all of the incredible information shared. #MTA

What better way to lead into Thanksgiving Break than dodgeball?! It was a battle between the faculty and student body. Everyone had a blast! We hope everyone has an amazing break! #MTA #Dodgeball

Eighth grade enjoyed some time as a class yesterday at Elevate Trampoline Park! Everyone had a blast as they geared up for Thanksgiving break! #MTA

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Northwestern Pennsylvania are hosting their 37th annual Thanksgiving dinner, and they invited all MTA students to help by create cards to include in every meal bag. Fourth grade had the special opportunity to hear from Sr. Mary Drexler and Mrs. Almi Clerkin about the dinner, their service to the community, and the positive impact our students can make through something as simple as a heartfelt card. We loved having them here with us! Their visit was both inspiring and greatly appreciated. #MTA #Community

To review proportional relationships, seventh grade rotated among four stations to solve Thanksgiving-themed math challenges. One of the stations required students to find the number of cups of cocoa needed for a variety of people, and they were surprised with hot cocoa to enjoy! #MTA #MathFun ☕

Our seventh and eighth graders just wrapped up their unit in Religion on the sacraments and were excited to share what they learned with our first and second graders!

They worked hard to create posters, mini-lessons, and interactive games to teach the younger students about the seven sacraments. Everyone had fun and grew in their understanding of Jesus and His sacraments! #MTA #Faith ✝️

Second grade has been bringing in their completed “Turkey in Disguise” projects this week! Students have two weeks to create a disguised turkey and write a persuasive essay to convince their audience they are NOT a turkey. It is a perfect way to get in the Thanksgiving spirit! #MTA 🦃

We recently closed out the first quarter of the school year. Yesterday, we held our first-ever Honor Roll Ice Cream Social! We acknowledged students who earned first and second honors in the first quarter. Congratulations to all! #MTA #Honors

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 🎃

Middle school girls attended Nurturing Hearts, Inc’s 14th Annual Beautiful Girls Workshop held at Gannon University. It was a two-day experience of education, empowerment, inspiration, and fun! #MTA #Community
