Rockets impact community with tutoring outreach program

Rockets impact community with tutoring outreach program

More than 40 McNicholas students are skipping study hall for a good reason: They’re tutoring kids at Sands Montessori, Mt. Washington Elementary, and St. Joseph Catholic School.

Through a program launched in the 2021-22 school year, our students provide reading enrichment at Sands, math and language arts support at Mt. Washington, and homework assistance at St. Joe’s.

“Their commitment to the program and to the kids is impressive,” said Amanda Beatty, Theology Teacher and Community. Engagement Coordinator. “Our students are busy and involved in a lot of activities, but they always made time for their kids. Many give up their study halls; others go after school. And those who do not have driver’s licenses even volunteer to walk. It is that important to them.”

McNicholas students have made an impact on over 150 kids and counting — the same kids they run into at the grocery store or pizza place — making the outreach program a example of compassionate leadership and community engagement in action.

    Some of life's greatest lessons cannot be found in a textbook. They are discovered standing beneath the ancient arches of the Colosseum, gazing up at masterpieces in Vatican City, or watching the sun set along the Seine River. This spring, 43 McNicholas students experienced those moments firsthand, returning home with a deeper appreciation for art, history, culture, and the world around them.

    A Friendship Without Borders: McNicholas Celebrates Its First Sister School Exchange with Argentina

    Nine McNicholas students traveled to Buenos Aires this summer for the school's first Sister School Exchange with Instituto Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, building on friendships formed when Argentine students visited McNicholas earlier this year. Through living with host families, attending classes, and experiencing Argentina's rich culture and history, students discovered that the most meaningful lessons come from stepping beyond their comfort zones and embracing connections that transcend borders.
