Friday was National Butter Day! First grade, second grade and middle school students had the chance to make butter. They shook heavy cream in containers until butter and buttermilk was formed inside. They were able to spread it on crackers to taste and add some spices for some extra flavor! We had a blast! #MTA #NationalButterDay 🧈
For the remaining days of November and leading up to Thanksgiving Break, MTA will be holding a canned food drive. Students are encouraged to bring in canned, non-perishable goods that we can donate to our local food pantry. This time of year, we give thanks for all we have and can spread love and kindness. We hope you will join us in aiding our community.
Students can bring their canned goods to Mrs. Rodgers Art room or dropped off in the main office. There will be a box outside of the room for collecting all of our canned goods. #MTA #Community 🥫

Third and fourth grade had the chance to get in the spooky spirit by making Oobleck in science class! They took this opportunity to make predictions, record their observations, and discuss states of matter. It got a little messy, but they had a blast! #MTA #Science
Kindergarten hit the runway for their ABC Bootcamp Fashion Show on Friday! This year, we changed up our usual runway and involved the ENTIRE school! Students lined the hallways to cheer on their kindergarten friends as they strutted their stuff down the hallways of MTA to celebrate learning all the letters of the alphabet. Each day, students learned about a letter, talked about different things that start with that letter, and learned what sounds they make! It was so much fun to watch them show off their fashion walks and the amazing vests they created that were devoted to one specific letter! Great job kindergarten! #Kindergarten #ABCBootcamp 🔠🌟
Third and fourth grade spent the day at Port Farms yesterday! They had a blast picking out pumpkins, exploring the corn maze, riding the go carts, and jumping on the Jumpkin Patch! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful fall day! #MTA #FallFun 🎃🍂
Kindergarten did some "play" time in math class for P-day! It was all hands-on activities to help scholars recognize, represent, write and count to numbers zero to five! They had a blast and could not believe they were allowed to write in their desks! They also worked together on their "partner" reading for P-day! It was the PERFECT P-Day! #MTA #Kindergarten #ABCBootcamp 🅿
Kindergarten, first and second grade went on a field trip to Port Farms last Thursday! It was such a beautiful day! The kids got to pick their pumpkins from the patch, enjoyed a hayride to see all the scarecrows, play on the playground, and jump on the giant Jumpkin Patch! #MTA #FallFun 🎃🍂
Last week, Mother Teresa Academy and Cathedral Preparatory School students went to City Hall for an award presentation. These boys are involved in the Police Athletic League, where they interact with officers regularly to build community relations. Sgt. Szoszorek received the Jason Belton Community Service Award for her passion and dedication to the youth in the City of Erie. These boys have built a positive relationship with Sgt. Szoszorek and were able to help celebrate this achievement. The students also had their pictures taken with the Eastern League Championship trophy that the Erie Seawolves won recently. #Prep #MTA #Service
Science students used VR headsets in class and were able to hold hearts in their own hands! They were able to see and touch what they have been studying, such as the aorta, aortic valve, and the pulmonary valve, just to name a few. #MTA #Science ♥
