The OLMA Overview -- September 29, 2016
|
|
Tuesday morning's Activity Fair exceeded all expectations. Each club (16!) was represented by posters, props, baked goods, candy, giveaways, and more. Students and staff went all out! Yesterday morning, we held two rounds of mock interviews. Seniors were interviewed by two of the five recruiting professionals who volunteered their time to be with us. Pictured below are (Brittany Himes of National Freight Industries greeting OLMA senior, Olivia Marrone. The girls dressed to impress and all did a great job. They also came away with some very useful tips and feedback. Many thanks to Ms. Himes, Antoinette Finizio, Robert McCormick, Kevin Burke, and Margaret Durham for helping to prepare our students for college and job interviews. As a reminder, Sunday is our Communion Breakfast. Mass begins at 10:00 AM, followed by breakfast. There's still time to purchase tickets; just call and reserve yours ASAP. You can also register on our website. All students who attend will get a dress-down day on Monday...so hope to see you all there. -- Mrs. Coyle

Mackenzie McNelia, Class of 2017
|
|
While she expected to follow in her parents' footsteps and attend Gloucester Catholic High School, that all changed once she stepped foot into OLMA. "I love it here and the teachers are always available to provide extra help when needed," said Mackenzie. "That's something that's not always possible in larger schools." Mackenzie also treasures the friendships she has made over the last three years. "I can't imagine finding better friends than the ones I have here," she said. "We support and depend on one another, just as sisters should."
Mackenzie's sister, Riley, joined OLMA last year as a freshman and is already off to a great sophomore year. Next fall, a third McNelia daughter will join us. "Delaney is coming to Shadow Day next week and is so excited," said Mackenzie. Tom and Lisa Mackenzie are also very active at OLMA with school fundraisers and activities. Mr. McNelia serves as OLMA's basketball coach.
With her height, you'd think Mackenzie would be joining her dad on the basketball court, but she prefers volleyball instead -- and does it well. Mackenzie is in the midst of submitting her college applications. Her first choice is Immaculata University, where she'd like to study nursing. Until then, she's taking advantage of the many resources here at OLMA, like last week's interviewing and resume training and this week's mock interviews, to be sure she's ready. We have no doubt that she will continue to shine and stop at nothing to achieve success.

When OLMA sophomores were asked to select a Bible verse that meant something special to them and then illustrate it, they went above and beyond. The artwork they created was beautiful and should be treasured by all. Here's a look at just a few pieces!
