OLMCA’s Religion Bee

 

We were so excited that the Religion Bee was held last week at OLMCA for Grades 3-8!

It became a lighting round until the very end! The results are in:

 

Grades 3-5

 

1st Place…Arjun Sheth (5th Grade)

3rd Place… Madeleine Lanzarone (5th Grade)

1st Place…Mateo Koo and Joanna Berrios (Grade 8)-TIE!

Oratorical Contest

 

We are pleased to announce that Charles La Punzina of the 8th Grade represented OLMCA. Charlie’s powerful interpretation of Ronald Regan’s “Tear Down the Wall” speech landed him a coveted spot in the final six contestants. We are so proud of Charlie and know that he will continue to showcase his public speaking skills at Regis High School in September.
