Montgomery Catholic’s 9th graders enjoyed “Freshman Escape Day” on Thursday, October 2. The day began with Mass in the chapel before students headed to Reality and Truth Ministries for a morning of service. The freshmen class rolled up their sleeves to sort clothing, organize the donation intake room, clean bathrooms, and more. At Montgomery Catholic, we believe we are called to serve others and we love weaving service into the heart of education. In the afternoon, the students enjoyed lunch together and celebrated with some well-earned fun at the Montgomery Zoo. Pictured: Montgomery Catholic students Ellie Wallcok, Charlotte Brooks, Hudson Howell, Brady Cox, Evan Crimi, and Liam Skala having fun while serving at Reality and Truth Ministries during Freshmen Escape Day.

Math Night at Bear Exploration Center is always a fun, family-friendly event where students get to engage in hands-on math activities. Bee Bot Circus, Shape Architects, Binary Bracelets, Ratio Skittles, and 3-D Printing were just some of the fun learning activities families participated in. This year volunteers included the Bear PTA, the Alpha Rho Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and the Brew Tech High School Rambassadors (many of which were former Bear students). Anyway you add it up, Math Night was a hit with students and their families!

On Monday, October 6, Montgomery County Commission welcomed seniors from Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School for a special visit to the County Commission Chambers after they attended the Red Mass at St. Peter Catholic Church in Downtown Montgomery.
The Red Mass in Montgomery, Alabama, is an annual tradition hosted by St. Peter Catholic Church to mark the start of the judicial year for the Alabama Supreme Court. The Mass invites legal professionals of all faiths to pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit in the administration of justice.
Montgomery Catholic seniors learned how county government operates and heard from elected officials and County administration staff about public service and community leadership.

The art students at Success Unlimited Academy competed recently at the Alabama National Fair under the direction of local artist and teacher, Barbara Grimes. Twenty-six students in grades three through twelve submitted 52 entries in both the photography and visual art categories, taking six First Place ribbons, seven Second Place ribbons, and four Third Place ribbons. All the students received ribbons of merit! Mrs. Grimes said that it was “a pleasure to work with students who have such a passion for art!” She was so impressed that while none of these students have had any formal art training previously, they do have quite a bit of natural “God-given” talent. Mrs. Grimes has definitely been able to help mold these young Picassos into winners! Congratulations to these SUA artists!

Montgomery Christian School’s 1st grade class had a fantastic time on their field trip to Cornfield County Pumpkin Patch. The students enjoyed outdoor adventures, played in the corn pit, and each picked the perfect pumpkin to take home. It was a fun-filled day celebrating the joys of fall and all the seasonal wonders it brings!

Montgomery Christian School’s ballet program is in full swing, and the excitement is dancing through the halls! Students received their ballet shoes, sparking joy and enthusiasm. Our 2nd–4th graders are learning the grace of classical ballet, while 5th and 6th graders are exploring the energy of jazz. We are incredibly grateful to Jesus City Church for generously providing the funding for the ballet shoes. Their support has brought both confidence and bright smiles to our students.

Fall quarter at Success Unlimited Academy has been very productive. For the quarterly service project, the student body collected over 440 lbs. of dog and cat food and treats for the Montgomery Humane Shelter. In keeping with our guiding scripture (1 Corinthians 3:7) and theme this year, “In His Hands, We Grow,” we wanted to help animals to thrive while they are waiting for their forever homes. Activities Director, Bethany Odle, who sponsored the drive “was so impressed with the outcome of our service project. When SUA comes together for a cause, big things happen—our 440 lbs. of dog and cat food shows just how much heart our school has for helping others, even our furry friends!” The senior high campus gathered over 250 lbs. and the homeroom with the largest amount was Mrs. Rhonda Wilson’s senior class. Please consider this project for your school this season and help feed God’s creatures in need.

Montgomery Catholic High School’s annual House Olympics brought an unforgettable day of energy, teamwork, and friendly competition to campus as students from all four Houses—AMDG, Viva Cristo Rey, Verso L’Alto, and Memento Mori—battled it out for top honors.
The day kicked off with a House mascot race, followed by a fast-paced round of Ships and Sailors to get the competition rolling. From there, students jumped right into a lineup of hilarious and high-energy events, including the hula hoop relay, cup stacking, t-shirt relay, three-legged race, potato sack race, and chicken pass. Each event brought big smiles, loud cheers, and some serious House pride!
In the afternoon, the action moved to the gym for the grand finale—dodgeball, tigerball, and the ultimate test of strength and spirit: tug of war! The energy was electric as Houses battled it out, with classmates cheering from the sidelines and every team giving 100%.
After a full day of teamwork, laughter, and friendly rivalry, Viva Cristo Rey came out on top, claiming the title of 2025 House Olympics Champions! Congratulations to all our students for making this day such a blast—your spirit and enthusiasm truly make Montgomery Catholic shine!

Fifth grade students from Montgomery Catholic’s Holy Spirit Campus spent an exciting week immersed in hands-on science and engineering at STARBASE Maxwell, a unique and innovative Department of Defense (DoD) STEAM program.
Over the course of five days, students explored a wide range of scientific concepts — from engineering design and Newton’s Laws of Motion to chemical reactions, density of matter, and even fingerprinting. They experimented with identifying and measuring liquids, calculating volume and mass, and discovering the difference between physical and chemical changes.
Through creative, interactive projects, students experienced science in action. They programmed Mars rover models to navigate a course, engineered a safe landing system for a fragile egg “astronaut,” and capped off the week with an exciting rocket launch.
STARBASE Maxwell encourages curiosity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving — all essential elements of a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Our Holy Spirit Campus 5th graders returned inspired, confident, and ready to reach for the stars!

The Drama Department at Success Unlimited Academy took us “Under the Sea,” Friday, October 17, with Disney’s “The Little Mermaid, Jr.” under the direction of Kaylee Baker and Kaden Blackburn. Ms. Baker also choreographed the production’s many dance numbers. Through special arrangement with Music Theatre International this beloved fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen and adapted for the stage by David Weinstein was brought to life by a talented cast and crew. Students in grades three through twelve performed the 70 minute musical, singing favorites such as “Kiss the Girl,” “Part of your World,” “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” “The Scuttlebutt,” and “For the First Time.” Theatre students served as stage and tech crews, working hard to assist with scene changes, sound and lights. These actors are not finished yet though! They began rehearsal on Monday, October 20, to take this remarkable show on the road to the Walter Trumbauer Festival Theatre Competition, November 1st in Opelika, AL. Break a Leg!

Congratulations to Montgomery Catholic’s two outstanding Mock Trial teams for their impressive performances at the Regional Youth Judicial Competition! Competing against 20 other high school teams from across the region, our students showcased their critical thinking, public speaking, and legal reasoning skills as they stepped into the roles of attorneys and witnesses.
Team 1—comprised of Campbell Webb, Ellis O’Connor, Jaja Gancayco, Ellie Wallock, Anna-Rose Schwarz, Madelyn Stringer, Katie Dean, and Makayla Corbin—had a remarkable showing, winning all three of their trials and earning a well-deserved spot at the state competition. Their teamwork, preparation, and poise in the courtroom truly stood out.
Team 2—featuring Taelyn Billups, Virginia Henley, Ava Henderson, Molly Turner, Anderson Byrd, Raven Blackburn, Paulina Quilacio, Kayla Hora, and Claire Blanks—also had a strong performance and was selected as an alternate for the state competition. Their dedication and composure impressed judges and peers alike throughout the event.
Under the guidance of faculty supervisor Colby Aderhold, Montgomery Catholic’s Youth Judicial program continues to provide students with invaluable experience in law, public service, and leadership. We are incredibly proud of all our participants for representing Montgomery Catholic with excellence, integrity, and enthusiasm.

Montgomery Christian Preschool was thrilled to welcome the Montgomery Fire/Rescue Department during Fire Safety Week. Our 1-year-olds to K4 learned valuable fire safety tips and had the exciting opportunity to meet our local heroes! One of the highlights was exploring the fire truck up close, sparking curiosity and joy. It was a fun and educational experience for all!

A team of Forest Avenue students, Rex, Dave, Jacob and Rushda, received the Judges’ Award at the Alabama National Fair.

Although STEM has become a trending acronym in education, first graders at Success Unlimited Academy had an actual stem project as they conducted a hands-on experiment on flower stems. Ms. Reda Brooks taught her students how to formulate and write hypotheses about what would happen to flowers when food coloring was added to the water in the vases. Students were learning about how the stem carries water and nutrients to the entire plant to “feed” the plant to help it grow. This was the perfect lesson to parallel our scripture of the year and theme of growth.

Forest Avenue students caught being good for the month of September are Eric Eastwold, Rylee Levett, Kaci Williams, Zahra Diallo, Amos Kim, Kalia Abebe. Congratulations to these friends and keep on being good!!

Congratulations to FAAM 4th grader Reva Gupta. She not only has her painting hanging in the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, but also her painting has been purchased by the museum to be in their permanent collection!

Ms. DeHart’s class took a fascinating look at how the brain works and what happens when it is affected by dementia. Through interactive activities and thoughtful discussions, students learned how changes in the brain can impact memory, behavior, and daily life. Most importantly, they gained tools to respond with empathy, patience, and kindness toward individuals and families on this journey. Dementia Friendly Alabama is building partnerships across the state to create communities where those living with dementia can truly thrive. Every student who learns today helps shape a more compassionate tomorrow.

Our high school students participated in an amazing week of 4-H Health Rocks, a hands-on program focused on making positive, healthy choices.
Students explored how advertising influences decisions, learned the science of addiction, and discovered how impairment affects coordination, judgment, and focus through interactive simulations. Each lesson helped students build life skills like decision-making, stress management, and refusal skills — empowering them to confidently resist peer pressure and live substance-free. (A huge thank-you to Angela Kelly, Urban Regional Extension Agent with Alabama A&M University, for leading this powerful series.)

More than 2,000 students explored colleges and careers at the Junior League of Montgomery’s 41st Annual College & Career Fair, held Monday, September 15, 2025, at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl.
The free event welcomed high school students, parents, teachers, and administrators from across the River Region to connect with representatives from 88 colleges, universities, military programs, and career organizations.

Forest Avenue second graders celebrated the 50th day of school in 50s style! Students learned about life in the 1950s including fashion, food, transportation, toys, dances, prices, and media. At the end of the day, the second graders enjoyed a typical 1950s snack of Coca-Cola in glass bottles with paper straws and moon pies. A former Forest Avenue parent drove his 1950s era car to the back of the school for the students to learn about roll up windows, upholstered interiors, and really cool engines.

Students in Ms. DeHart’s class at River Region Academy put the toaster to the test, exploring how different temperature settings affect various sizes and types of bread and bagels. Hands-on (and tasty!) experiments make science come alive.

Macon East Academy recently celebrated Senior Buddy Day, a heartwarming tradition where the youngest Knights were paired with senior students for the first time. These special buddy pairs will spend the school year building friendships, sharing fun activities, and learning from one another.

We are proud to share that the 7th and 8th grade students of Resurrection Catholic School were invited to attend the annual Red Mass at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Montgomery, Alabama. This special Mass, which brings together members of the legal and judicial community to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, was a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience faith in action.
Our students had the chance to meet many wonderful people and represented Resurrection Catholic School with reverence, respect, and maturity. We are so proud of them and grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful tradition.

The trip offered the perfect mix of fun and learning, giving students the opportunity to connect with history in a memorable way. It was an unforgettable adventure filled with discovery, friendship, and school spirit!

The group spent several days exploring the historic city, walking the Freedom Trail, and visiting landmarks that brought their history lessons to life. From touring Harvard University to standing where the Boston Tea Party took place, students gained a deeper appreciation for America’s beginnings and the people who shaped it.

On Tuesday, October 21st, Saint James School seniors and their kindergarten buddies took a walk on the wild side during their annual trip to the Montgomery Zoo. The beloved tradition pairs the oldest and youngest Trojans for a day filled with laughter and learning.
At the zoo, buddies spotted elephants, lions, and tropical birds while sharing snacks and stories along the way. Seniors helped guide their younger friends through each exhibit, modeling the Trojan Core Values of Character, Commitment, Courage, and Community.
“The senior-kindergarten buddy program is one of our most meaningful Saint James traditions,” said Elementary School Principal, Andrea Harris. “It’s a day full of joy and connection, and it’s a reminder of how strong our sense of community is across every grade level.”
From feeding giraffes to playing on the playground, the zoo trip offered the perfect opportunity for older students to serve as role models while creating memories that will last long after the visit.
The senior-kindergarten buddy program is one of many ways Saint James School fosters connection and community across grade levels, helping students of all ages live out what it means to be a Trojan.
The tradition began in the fall of 1997 and continues to be one of the most anticipated milestones for students and families. Earlier this fall, the two classes met for the first time during the annual Buddy Reveal, when seniors placed one of their shoes in a large pile, each labeled with the name of a kindergartner. One by one, the youngest Trojans searched for their name and matched the shoe with its owner as the new buddies met for the first time.

Students in Ms. Febles, ended their Food Web standard and they had to calculate and graph a predator/prey relationship between deer and wolves today. I happened to mention that if you look closely graphs are at play in everyday life- and here’s my student Chasity Minor after taking my dinner order with a nice, big colorful bar graph on display behind her register! Students now understand how pertinent it is to understand graphical perception.
