STUDENTS AND STUDIES

Honors Spanish 3

On Friday, Sra. Cheeseman's Honors Spanish 3 classes made a 'Busca de Tesoro' (Treasure Hunt) for their classmates using Formal Commands en español.

First, each partner group had to write out 10 steps for their fellow classmates to find the "treasure". Then the hunt began!  A few of the teachers got involved along the way, including Mercy the dog! The students enjoyed the thrill of the search, and Mercy enjoyed her treats! Buen trabajo, chicas! 

Seniors Mary Conn and Caitlin Fitzpatrick combined their passion for music and their technology expertise to create a TechShop for the amazing non-profit organization, TechGirlz^®  "Remix-U: Unleashing Your Inner DJ" will be offered on the GMAHS Campus, March 9, 2019 from 9:00 am to Noon.

The TechShop is offered exclusively for middle school girls interested in expanding their knowledge in STEM subjects. You are welcome to review the TechShop description developed by the ladies, and feel free to share the link with family and friends. The TechShop is open to girls in grades 5-8 only.

Following Saturday's 1/26 away game at North Penn High School, our Monarchs are finally home to finish off their final four games of the 2018-19 season.

The team is on a four-game winning streak with a thrilling double overtime 61-58 win over Nazareth Academy. This was followed by an offensive explosion of ten 3's in their 77-33 win over Villa Joseph Marie.  The Varsity team currently is in 3rd place in the AACA League and looking to finish strong to capture a league playoff spot. 

The team has some big home games on Tuesday, 1/29 against 1st place, undefeated St. Basil's and our Senior Day game on Thursday, 1/31 against the Mount.

Let's pack the gym on these dates and really show our Gwynedd Pride and home court advantage!
