International students from Marymount Academy, St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School, and St. Charles College had a fun afternoon of bowling at Plaza Bowl this past week. The event gave students a chance to meet new friends, catch up with familiar faces, and enjoy some friendly competition.

The day ended with a delicious lunch, allowing students to relax and connect with their fellow international peers.

“It was great to see our international students having fun and connecting with each other,” said Brittany Goldsborough, Secondary Consultant. “Events like this help bring our school community closer.”

In celebration of World Water Day on March 22, students in Mrs. Fowke’s Grade 1 class at Holy Trinity School completed a beautiful and meaningful art piece titled Protect Our Water, Protect Our Planet. The artwork served as a reminder of the importance of preserving our environment, especially our water, for future generations.

This collaborative project allowed students to reflect on the significance of water conservation and environmental protection. The completed piece was proudly displayed at the school, symbolizing the students’ commitment to safeguarding our planet’s resources.

“We were so proud of how the students came together for this project,” said Mrs. Fowke. “It was a wonderful way to raise awareness and inspire action for our planet.”

Holy Trinity School remains dedicated to fostering environmental stewardship and empowering students to be future leaders in conservation.
