Getting the Beaches Ready for Memorial Day

Organized by the local chapter of the Kiwanis club, seventh and eighth grade students formed two brigades and picked up litter from the beaches on Friday, May 23rd. The children collected a variety of items, but most interesting was this “Road Closed” sign which was found in the dunes.

Student wins Wildwood Alumni Scholarship

Each year, the Wildwood Catholic High School Alumni & Friends Association awards a scholarship to one incoming freshman. Students enter the contest by preparing a short essay explaining why they want to attend WWC. We are proud that an OLSOS student was the recipient of this scholarship valued at $4000.

"Y" is for Yoga

How can our pre-school teacher reinforce this week's letter of the week? By taking her students to a yoga class, of course. Miss Rechner invited a local yoga teacher to come to the school and teach a class. The pre-school students invited Kindergarten and 1st grade to join them. They sure had fun!!

Ready for First Communion

The 2nd grade students are counting down. Only nine more days until their very special day, the day they celebrate the sacrament of First Eucharist. Today, they were practicing the songs they will sing during mass, they want everything to be just perfect!

Finding our Path

Today, the 5th-8th grade students were honored by a visit from Kate Fourqurean. As a high school student, Kate participated in the Camden diocese's Summer in the City program. This program opened Kate's eyes to the blessings and gifts she has been given and made her realize that her path leads to helping others. Recently returning from 2 years as a Peace Corps worker in Zambia, Kate will continue following her path when she begins work for a non-profit organization that helps refugees.

The Bard's Birthday

Anyone visiting the 8th grade classroom today might have thought they had been transported back to the 16th century. Today was the day to celebrate Shakespeare and all things Shakespearean. Some students from the 7th and 8th grade language arts classes performed dramatic readings (such as the famous witches' scene from MacBeth, shown here). Others chose to recite, sing and even dance to themed music. The finale to the birthday celebration was tasting many of the student prepared desserts which all were based Shakespeare's favorites - apples!
