The boys enjoyed playing in the snow at recess today!

A balancing act: the second grade learned about the principles of weight and balance by making mobiles.

Continuing with their cross-discipline study of Chinese culture, the second grade painted Chinese characters and bamboo shoots.

Ms. Smith's first grade class proudly display their certificatesfrom Scholastic Books. The class read 100 books before December 31st and Scholastic Books donated 100 books to needy children.

The Middle School hosted a 3x3 basketball tournament last week and really had a great time. Each team member brought 5 cans of food in order to play on their team. The event netted over 200 cans of food, which were donated to Father Mick's parish in Trenton.

Have you noticed the concession stand at our basketball games? You can not only enjoy tasty snacks, but also you can support a worthy cause when you purchase something. All proceeds from the sale of concessions will go to support the Water Project at the Sacred Heart School in Uganda. Princeton Academy joins Sacred Heart schools worldwide in helping the Ugandan school buy an electric pump so that the school can have running water. Currently the children carry water to the school in plastic tubs. For more information on the Water Project, click here: http://www.sofie.org/news/latest/heart-project---uganda-kenya-province.html
