Sixth grade worked in groups to create a 3D animal of their choice. The students used rectangular prisms to create the animal. Then, students measured each body part’s length, width, and height to calculate the volume and surface area of their animal. Animal choices included a panda bear, turtle, pig, axolotl, pufferfish, and wiener dog! 🐼🐢🐶🐷
Fourth grade had their traditional Fort Day to celebrate all their hard work this year! They had so much fun building forts, watching movies, and eating delicious snacks! #MTA #EndofYearFun
Last Friday, we celebrated the graduation of our kindergarteners, Aloha-style! Students received a special award and gifts from Mrs. Vella and Mrs. Thomas and celebrated their memorable first year at Mother Teresa Academy with their families! They also joined Mrs. Jauss and sang a few songs to their families, including our very own MTA theme song! We are so proud of them and cannot wait to see what they accomplish during their time as Saints! We would also like to extend a special thank you to Valerio's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria for providing the food for the event! #MTA #KindergartenGraduation #Luau 🌸🎓

Last Friday was a fun-filled Sports Day for our students!
Our Middle School students kicked off the day at the Hagerty Events Center (HFEC) to compete in field sports against one another. Each middle school homeroom teacher had a team! Mr. Conley was grey, Ms. Rohm was blue, Ms. Nolan was red, and Mr. Cox was black. Students competed in volleyball, tug-of-war, and other sports.
Elementary School students joined in on the fun at HFEC. Balloon toss, dodgeball, and sponge relay were just a few highlights from their day! We were so blessed to have such a beautiful day to spend with our students having fun! #MTA #SportsDay🏈🏐👟
