2009 SMEA Eagles Varsity Cheer Squad Beat the Odds

2009-10-23T21:49:00.001-04:00

We thank an anonymous source for the video and write up. The Academy has such an involved dedicated group of parents, teachers and of course students, the "Eagles".

In 2009 eleven little girls from Saints Mary And Elizabeth Academy in Linden NJ did the incredible.

The Academy Eagles varsity cheer squad had lost four unforgettable girls due to Graduation the year before and before the practice season would start their roster with only six on the squad and two in Question if they would be ready in time.

The rush to find the girls to fill their ranks was on, nobody ever thought the glory of the 2008 season would shine through 2009, they were dead wrong!

Nothing can keep the Eagles down, they keep soaring higher and better than ever before, we love our little Eagles.

Go Eagles!!!!

3rd Graders Having Fun with Science

2009-10-12T15:34:00.002-04:00

Saint Mary and Elizabeth Academy Has Fun with Science

Saint Mary and Elizabeth Academy in Linden learns science in a fun, hands-on way. Third grade teacher Mrs. Doretta Warnock likes to create interactive science lessons. For a recent chapter on animals and metamorphosis, her class watched larvae transform into caterpillars and ultimately, Painted Lady butterflies. Oranges were fed to the butterflies and on Monday, October 5, the students released the butterflies into the wild.

Mrs. Warnock plans to have more hands-on activities for the next chapter in science, plants.

SME Academy Remembers 9/11

2009-10-12T15:14:00.001-04:00

Saints Mary and Elizabeth Academy Remembers 9/11

Linden, NJ- Students at Saints Mary and Elizabeth Academy in Linden contributed remembrances and service on 9/11. They made cards and wrote letters thanking the Linden police and fire departments for their dedication and valor. The City of Linden was touched and appreciative of the kids’ actions, and sent a letter of thanks. “It is during this time of sadness that your cards and letters give us the support we need to get by another year of remembrance. Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers,” the note read.

Many students at Saints Mary and Elizabeth Academy lost family members in 9/11, and so the anniversary is especially poignant at the Catholic school.

The school’s principal Maritess Kaminski said the experience symbolizes life’s fragility. “Life is fragile. Each day in life is a blessing. As long as God is giving me the opportunity to lead a school, I will continue to encourage the students to remember the selfless sacrifice of our men and women in uniform.”

Spearheaded by social studies and reading teacher Mrs. Sara Pender, the school also held a food drive on 9/11 in recognition of Obama’s National Day of Service and Remembrance. Considering that there was such short notice---school started on 9/10---Mrs. Pender was very pleased with the amount of food donated. The eighth grade classes delivered the twelve boxes of canned goods to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Linden, where the food was blessed by a priest and then donated to the Linden Food Bank.
