The first ever STEM Olympics event was held today at St. Benedicts for some lucky Olympians from Holy Cross and St. Francis schools.
The event was organized by teacher, Loretta Cuda and involved four rotations – involving structures, catapults, boat construction and trivia.The morning began with Student Council President Adriana Cimino handing the opening ceremonies complete with the National Anthem.
Gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded to students with the gold medals going to the “Black Bears” team of John Cunningham-Dunlop, Nicholas Bodnar, Summer Bayer and Samuel Grossi at Holy Cross.
Remembering as a campus – K to 12 students at Holy Cross and St. Benedict join together to honour those who served in war.It was a collaboration with one goal – to help students remember authentically.
Kindergarten to grade 6 students at Holy Cross provided the choir, the art work and the laying of one wreath.St. Benedict 7-12 students provided two more wreaths along with the poignant readings.
Cadets who attend the high school also assisted with the playing of the bagpipes and the formality of the service, along with two representatives from the Canadian army. The service was orchestrated by Chaplaincy Lead Rob Pappin.

When do tomatoes taste absolutely out of this world? Ms. Visentin’s Gr. 2 students at Holy Cross Elementary School will soon find out. The children put their green thumbs to work by conducting a tomato seed experiment with two sets of tomato seeds. One package of seeds had been placed on a space station for a period of six weeks while the second package of seeds remained on Earth. The students had to predict which tray of plants had been exposed to outer space, prior to their germination. Every morning, the class leader collected data by counting the number of plant germinations and then watered them. Close observations were made by the children with the use of magnifying glasses to see if one set of seedlings appeared to grow differently than the other. The children will soon find out which were actually the “space seeds”. Our Grade 2 scientists will then bring the plants home to see if they produce “out of this world” tomatoes over the summer break.
In order to better understand the needs of living thing, students in SK/Grade 1 at Holy Cross Catholic Elementary School have planted a variety of seeds and have been tracking their development through the life cycle. Students moved their plants to the garden in the Kindergarten yard where they will continue to track their development.
Holy Cross Catholic Elementary School Grade 5 students Anthony and Raul participated in the 6th Annual PEO Sudbury Mathletics Competition at Laurentian University.
This competition introduces the wonders of mathematics in day to day life of the students, creating a passion for the application of mathematics by solving scientific and engineering problems. The competition introduces different facets of mathematics, providing hands-on experience with solving real-world problems.
The students represented Holy Cross in the junior division (Grade 5 and 6) and competed against 13 other teams of students from across the City. The two boys worked as a team to answer 30 math questions, given only 2 minutes for each question. Through great teamwork and communication, Anthony and Raul successfully placed 8th out of the 13 teams. The boys enjoyed the challenge and are looking forward to competing again next year. Congratulations on a job well done boys!
