We have great news to report. Our Academic Decathlon team won first place at the Cathedral High School Quizbowl and our decathletes went on to win first place at the Archdiocesan Regional event on March 4 at St. Monica School. As of this writing, the team is working diligently to prepare for the National event, which takes place at the end of March.

We continue our CYO sports season with softball and track. Go Direwolves!

We are well into this season of Lent and continue to attend Stations of the Cross on Thursdays. Our 8th graders will be re-enacting the Stations of the Cross on Wed., April 5 before we are dismissed for Easter vacation. Our 2nd graders celebrated their First Reconciliation on March 18.

Our school is full S.T.E.A.M. ahead for our Science Fair this month. After our Science Fair, students will begin to prepare for our Geography and Religion Bees. Happy Easter, everyone!

Immaculate Heart

By Kellyn Lanza 12th Grade

Happy Spring from Immaculate Heart!

During the busy month of March, our Genesians theater company staged a successful production of “Alice in Wonderland.” Following the play, Immaculate Heart hosted a welcome breakfast to celebrate newly accepted students and their parents. To conclude the month, the sophomore class embarked on a one-day retreat at Camp Bob Waldorf.

Students are now ready to enjoy a two-week Spring Break. During their time off from classes, more than 80 students will visit Japan with faculty chaperones on the trip of a lifetime. Students and faculty look forward to enjoying cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji, noodle bowls and unique shrines and other sites during their adventure.

Additionally, throughout the month of April, students and faculty will continue prepping for Mary’s Day, a beloved Immaculate Heart tradition that honors Mary, the mother of Jesus, as well as women across the world! The theme of this year’s event on Fri., April 28, will be “Mary, Gate of Dawn” to celebrate new beginnings.

The Willows

By Simone Meltzer 8th Grade

For all middle school students applying to high schools, early March was a charged time. For months students’ minds, and schedules, had been filled by essays, tests, interviews and tours. On March 10, we huddled around our laptops, anxiously refreshing emails and anticipating news that would determine our future as students.

At The Willows Community School, the 8th grade class had been preparing to receive this news. A meeting was held on the Thursday before to remind all students to be respectful and conscientious of our peers while going through this vulnerable time.

Fortunately, the following Monday was celebratory for the grade. I know that no matter where we end up next year, we’ll be split up and scattered to various schools. So, what matters is enjoying the time we have now, here, with the people that helped us get through it all. Because as far as I know, until September, we have no high school essays to write, no entrance exams, no tours or interviews. We are free to spend the rest of our time together without the stress of acceptance or rejection.
