Knight Ambassadors Named at Montgomery Catholic's Middle School Campus

Montgomery Catholic's Middle School has named Knight Ambassadors for the 2016-2017 school year. These students show leadership, good judgment, maturity, honesty, and integrity while upholding their responsibilities of being a student, serving as campus role models. The 2016-2017 Knight Ambassadors are seventh grade students Catherine Aaron, Sadie Bartels, Cecelia Crawford, Angeles Gonzalez-Ansaldi, Mallory Hildebrand, Jake Talbot and Auburn Wilcoxson, as well as eighth grade students Gracie Barranco, David Dean, Cecelia Hoffpauir, Daniel Gacha, Angela Gier, Ines Gonzalez-Ansaldi, Hannah Parrish, Ellie Pool and Eli Starrett (not pictured).

The Ambassadors began their duties at Parent Open House held on August 25, 2016 at the Montgomery Catholic Middle School campus. These students helped parents follow their child's class schedule and answered questions about Middle School life at Catholic. 

Counselor, Mrs. Sarah Rech is the advisor for these young leaders and looks forward to a active year with these outstanding school representatives.

Montgomery Catholic Elementary Campuses Start the Year with Fun

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School's  St. Bede and Holy Spirit campuses start the year off learning the rules and getting to know each other. Mrs. Mary Pear's sixth grade class at the MCPS St. Bede campus kicked off the year with a friendly game of "Dot Math". Nicolas Calandra and Grant Eady compete to see who can win the game by connecting dots to make the most squares and answering fun math questions correctly.  While at the Holy Spirit campus Austin Taylor and Aubrey Sadler from Mrs. Mary Walker's K4 class were the first students to visit the treasure box in Mrs. Ceasar's office. Following the rules is a BIG deal in K4, and these two students were rewarded for being safe, respectful and responsible.

Montgomery Catholic teachers, students and their families are excited about this new school year.

While maintaining our mission, this year will have us introducing new and innovative ideas at all of our campuses and building for the future of  Montgomery Catholic!
