ONCE IN A LIFETIME By Mrs. Theresa Pinamonti, 1B
My trip to Nationals Park in Washington, DC, on April 17 was
wonderful! It was a blessing and an honor for me to attend the
celebration of the Eucharist with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. I
traveled in one of two busses that left at 3 a.m. from Good Shepherd
Church in Camp Hill. One of 500 people from the Diocese of
Harrisburg, I arrived in Washington at 5 a.m. When I walked into
Nationals Stadium, it was 38 degrees outside and still dark. The Mass
began at 10 a.m., so I had plenty of time to walk around and take lots
of pictures. The seat that I had was fantastic and I could not have
asked for better weather. When the Pope arrived in his Pope Mobile,
the excitement and enthusiasm of the 45,000 people in attendance
erupted! The place just vibrated as he slowly came around. The
procession, the music and the Liturgy were beautiful! The two hour
Mass lasted exactly two hours as planned. Thousands received
communion in twenty minutes. It was amazing! Seeing Pope
Benedict XVI during his first visit to the US was a once in a lifetime
event that I will always remember.

standing school-day tradition. Thank you to Mrs.
Laura Musselman and Mr. Doug Musselman for
coordinating the event. STS students proved that
they are gifted, hilarious, outrageous and the ultimate
entertainers. Given the buzz from this year‘s show,
the organizers expect that next year‘s show will be
bigger and even more impressive.

SPRING CONCERT By Molly Dupin 7
The spring concert featuring the choir and band
members was held at the end of April at Trinity
High School. The 3rd and 4th grade choir members
sang the song, ―All For One,‖ from Disney‘s High
School Musical 2 and other Disney classics
including ―Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.‖ One
of the highlights of their performance was ―Rubber
Ducky‖ which featured students demonstrating their
talents on squeak toys and kazoos!
The Jazz Band is composed of students from the
After Hours Band who are interested in playing
jazz. ―My Last Nickel,‖ and ―Charlie Jams Again‖
were selections in a pop rock style that featured
improvised solos by Brett Becker, Daniel Delaney,
Matthew Gregoire, Colin Laubach and Claire
McCarthy. ―Tiger of San Pedro‖ is a jazz classic in
a Latin style. All the wind instruments get a chance
to play percussion instruments while the piano, bass
and drums set the mood. The piece includes intricate
rhythms, melodies and countermelodies that
challenged the players.
The 5th through 8th grade choir sang three songs: ―I
Can Feel the Rhythm,‖ ―Seasons of Love‖ (from
Rent), and ―You Can‘t Stop the Beat‖ (from
Hairspray.) The students did a wonderful job
singing these challenging songs that often had them
singing in three-part harmony. The choirs were
accompanied by Mr. Ed Smith and directed by
Mrs. B.J. Meagher.
In addition to the choirs, the Jazz Band, St. Theresa
Concert Band, and After Hours Band performed
under the direction of Mrs. Meagher. The St.
Theresa Concert Band includes all students who take
instrument lessons, even those who just started this
year. They played ―Syahamba‖ and ―Fighting
Falcon March.‖ The After Hours Band is composed
of more experienced musicians. This band played
two selections that were written for junior high-level
bands. ―Bermuda Triangle‖ featured the percussion
section in a Latin style selection. ―Avenger‖ is an
energetic piece that was a challenge for the students
to learn. The student‘s hard work was evident to the
audience as this exciting piece was performed.
The students who performed in the concert were
given a well-deserved DOUD (dress out of uniform
day) for their effort and participation..
about an unexpected pregnancy. In May, a Morning
Star representative came to talk to the students about
the Center. She explained the importance of their
program and how STS students play a role. Each
student brought baby items or made a monetary
contribution to Morning Star. Afterward, we had
cake and juice. We all wished the Centers the best of
luck, and look forward to next year‘s celebration. morningstarchoices.com
DC IN A DAY By Colin Laubach and Nick Rudolph
In late May, the 7th graders visited Washington, DC,
with their homeroom
teachers, Mrs. Lucy
Chubb, Mrs. Jacquelyn
Castner and Mrs. Diane
Weltmer. They saw and
visited many sites
including the Lincoln
Memorial, the Washington
Monument, the World War I and World War II
Memorials, and the Vietnam Memorial. From the
monuments on the National Mall, they traveled to
Folger Theatre and Shakespeare Library. There they
learned about theater in Shakespeare‘s time,
performed some short skits, and saw the dress style
during Shakespeare‘s life. They ate their packed
lunch while the bus took them to the Smithsonian
Institute for some time at the Air and Space
Museum.
From here, the 7th graders visited the Franciscan
Monastery of the Holy Land. There they toured the
church and the catacombs learning about martyrs
such as St. Cecilia and St. Innocent. A caterer
presented them with their supper as they boarded the
bus for home. Rachael Barbush commented, ―I
thought the Air and Space Museum was really cool.‖
Vincent Ruminski said, ―I liked the flight simulator
and the catacombs.‖ Izzy Abiuso agreed, ―I liked
the flight simulator.‖ It was a long and tiring day but
a fun way to end the week.

20-HOUR ROAD TRIP By Mrs. Vickie Bosso
Early, early on the morning of
May 9 at 4 a.m., 37 8th grade
students, two teachers, and 26
chaperones set out for
Pittsburgh for what turned out
to be one great day! There are
so many sights in Pittsburgh, it is difficult to choose
the best ones. Mrs. Michelle Banks and I work on
the trip for weeks organizing and scheduling
everything. The class went to the Cathedral of
Learning, a part of University of Pittsburgh, to tour
the Nationality Classrooms. Each room is a working
classroom for the University and is furnished and
decorated in the motif of a particular country,
making you feel like you are in that country. A tour
of Heinz Chapel was next with its breathtaking
stained glass windows depicting famous figures in
the Church as well as numerous American heroes. In
many of the windows, a story is told. The story of
John Heinz and his family told us more about the
chapel. When the guide played, or should I say, put
in a computer disk to play the gigantic organ, the
sound boomed through the chapel. Alumni of the
University of Pittsburgh are permitted to marry in the
chapel. What a beautiful wedding it would be!
This year, for the
first time, we took
a tour of Heinz
Stadium, home of
the Pittsburgh
Steelers. The
football players in
the crowd were in
their glory and
enjoyed seeing the
Steelers‘ locker room, the press box, the clubhouses
and walking through the tunnel where the players
enter the field. It was quite a treat. Thank you to
Mrs. Joanna Borza and Mr. Joseph DiMario, Joey
Borza's grandfather and confirmation sponsor, for
arranging this.
Then it was off to the Carnegie Science Center for a
tour of a real submarine and time to do hands-on
activities in the museum. Next was SportsWorks, a
part of the Science Center. There were virtual roller
coasters, volleyball nets, golfing tees, surfing,
snowboarding, and rock climbing for the
students. There was a trampoline with a harness.
Serious baseball or softball players tested their throw
for accuracy and speed in a throwing cage.
We were all hungry by then so we headed to the
Spaghetti Warehouse for supper. This has been a
tradition since we started going to Pittsburgh, and the
food is delicious and very filling. Everyone had a
choice of 5 different entrees. And the service was so
quick; it was amazing. We ended our trip by
returning to the Science Center for the Dinosaurs
Alive film in the huuuuuge Omnimax Theater. We
left for home around 8 p.m. and were safely in the
parking lot by 12:15 a.m. Whew! It was a long day
but everyone had a good time.
CONFIRMATION By Tori Mooney
Congratulations to the 8th
graders who received the
Sacrament of Confirmation on
Friday, April 12th at St.Theresa
Church. His Excellency Bishop James C. Timlin
officiated at this final step in the initiation process
for the candidates. Now the 8th graders are official
members of the congregation having received
Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Megan
Szollosy, one of the recipients, gave her teachers,
especially Mrs. Jacquelyn Castner, the 8th grade
religion teacher, these words of praise. ―I couldn‘t
have done it without my teachers. Thank you very
much for your support.‖

THANK YOU NOTE
Dear Mrs. Pinamonti & Class, Each year at this time I look forward to two things. One is Spring and the other is getting eyeglasses from your students. Your class always gives the largest donation of eyeglasses. We thank you for all your work to make this a large donation. I don’t know if any of you wear eyeglasses but someday you may need them. You will know how much better your life can be if you have eyeglasses. I counted 84 eyeglasses. That means you have helped 84 people have a better life. These people had a problem. They needed eyeglasses but could never dream of being able to buy a pair. You helped them solve their problem by asking people for eyeglasses they no longer use. The reason why you always give the largest donation of eyeglasses is because you all worked together to collect them. The more you work together the more problems you can solve. Keep doing good works and you will always make life better for others.
Sincerely, Barb Musselman
By Mitch Weaver
This last year at St. Theresa‘s has been all that I
expected and more. The thing I will miss most about
this school is the teachers. Every grade I have gone
through, the teachers have always been there for me.
The last two years have been the hardest years at
STS, but I could not have asked for better teachers.
Whether staying in at lunch or staying after school
for some help, the teachers have always been there
for my classmates and me. They have prepared me
for high school better than anyone could have. I
know I will have jitters going into high school, just
like any other freshman would, but from what I have
learned from these incredible teachers, all the
worries will melt away. Mrs. Michelle Banks,
Mrs. Vickie Bosso, Mrs. Jacquelyn Castner, Mrs.
Diane Weltmer, Mrs. Lucy Chubb, and all the
other teachers at STS, thank you for all your help. I
will never forget you.
MAY CROWNING AND
LIVING ROSARY By Peter Lazzara and Mrs. Vickie Bosso
May is such a beautiful month; no
wonder it is dedicated to our Blessed
Mother, Mary. Each year on May 1st,
Catholic schools in the diocese honor
Mary in a special way. STS celebrates
Mary and honors her in style with a
crowning ceremony and a living rosary.
The May Crowning is a traditional 8th
grade event. The students dressed up in
beautiful dresses and handsome
suits. They first carried down a flower,
this year a lily, their class flower, and
placed it in a vase in front of Mary's
statue. Eighth graders led the litany to
the Blessed Mother, and read passages from the
Bible that depict different events in her life. "Lovely
Lady, Dressed In Blue" was read by two 8th graders.
The second time the students entered the church, the
boys formed an honor guard, holding candles, and
the girls processed through the guard with candles
and stood around the statue of Mary, while Tatiana
Shank carried the crown on a pillow and Courtney
Brown crowned the Blessed Mother Queen of our
school and of our hearts. The crowning is celebrated
with flowers, candles, hymns, and special prayers. It
is a bittersweet occasion for the 8th graders because
it is one of their last official acts before graduation.
Afterward, the students in 3rd through 7th grades took
part in a living rosary under the
direction of Mrs. Rhonda Houseman
and Mrs. Vikki DeBastiani. The
children assembled around the altar in
a rosary shape, and each said one of
the prayers of the rosary. Seventh
grade students from the Respect Life
Club were the beginning of the rosary,
the Our Fathers, and the Commentators. Students in
3rd through 6th grade formed the Hail Marys around
the altar. As each prayer was said a rose was given
to the student. By the end of the rosary, a beautiful
living rosary was formed. The roses symbolized not
only our Blessed Mother, but our patroness, St.
Theresa. This year's Rosary was given as a Spiritual
Bouquet to Sister Sue Ann Steves, our departing
Superintendant. It was a beautiful event to show our
praise to Our Blessed Lady.

2008 SIMPLY GRAND EVENT By Mr. Mark Reilly and Nathan Larkin, 7A
The Simply Grand Event is a
fundraiser sponsored by the St.
Theresa School Board to benefit the
school. The event was held in late
April at Trinity High School. It
included a casual buffet dinner,
donated and catered by Carrabba’s
Italian Grill located in
Mechanicsburg, a silent auction, and
wonderful music throughout the
evening provided by Mr. John
Fanning and Mr. Doug Hedricks.
The SGE was a tremendous success,
raising over $35,000 for our children
and school. The money will go to
supplies, department needs, school
facilities, equipment for special
classes, and tuition aid.
While the food and dancing were a
lot of fun, the main attractions for the
175 people attending, were the silent
auction, student speeches during the
student appeal and the numbers
game. There were many different
things up for auction at the event. Tables displayed
priceless auction items prepared and donated by
parents, teachers and local businesses. Rounds of
golf, gift certificates to local restaurants and stores,
and tickets to popular destinations are just a few of
the special items. Each grade put together a unique
creation representing the class or collected a basket
of goods with a theme. These items were extremely
popular for silent auction bidding.
During the student speeches, many students spoke
about how much they care about STS, and they
asked those attending to donate money for specific
needs of our school specials—Art, Music, Physical
Education and Library programs. To increase
donations for items such as books, microphones, art
supplies, musical and gym equipment, Monica
Hunter, Student Council President remembered her
STS experiences; Alexander Arnold danced;
Hannah Tedesco and Rebecca Zemaitis spoke of
the importance of the arts for student development;
and, Olivia Berrigan and Nate Repetz performed a
song from Honk, Jr. What great spokespersons!
This part of the evening raised over $6,000 for the
specials.
This year‘s number game was exciting; it came down
to three families at the end. They huddled and
decided to split the remaining prize money equally.
It did not stop there. Each family donated a sizeable
part of winnings back to the school, asking not to be
publicly recognized for their generosity. One winner
had no affiliation to our school - just a passionate
desire to help those in need.
One new item this year, the Disney Raffle was won
by Dr. Marty Pastucka, a local dentist.
Congratulations! And, congratulations to Houston
Tyree, 1B, who won the $100 gift card for selling
the most tickets for the Disney Raffle. Houston went
a step further – he donated $20 of his winnings back
to the school. Houston, thank you for your support
and generosity!
The night would not have been so successful without
the support of our sponsors, donors, committee
members, administration, parents, volunteers and our
children. A big thank you to Mr. Pete Ford of
Digital Spectrum Ink which provided all printed
materials for this year‘s event. Thank you to all who
participated, including Fr. Michael McFadden,
Pastor of St. Theresa Church, Mr. Michael Tracy,
Principal, Mrs. Eileen McMullin, Assistant
Principal, and the many other teachers, staff and
parents who make the SGE possible.
Final Note:
The completely cool, calm and collected chair of the
SGE, Mr. Mark Reilly, put it best, ―I want to
personally thank all of you who attended the event,
contributed financially, offered your time and talents,
and volunteered to be on a committee. Without you,
this event would not be possible. Thanks for helping
our children and school. With these monies, we can
continue our ongoing mission to maintain and
improve our school while creating the best possible
learning environment for our children.‖
RACE ROARS ‘ROUND SCHOOL By Michael Wilson, 7A; Mr. Mike Butala and Mrs. Patty
Butala, Event Organizers
What a splendid day it was on May 2nd for the fourth
annual Race for Education. First up were the 7th and
8th graders circling the track which started in the
back parking lot and looped around under the
underpass and across the length of the front parking
lot. There was excitement in the air as they lined up
at the starting line and passed through the underpass
which was full of prizes, trophies, and delicious yet

HE SHOOTS--HE SCORES! Cameron Bour, 5A, has been
selected as a defenseman for the
highly competitive AAA Hershey
Junior Bears hockey team. This team
is the only AAA level team in central Pennsylvania.
Cameron will play his home games at Twin Ponds
East during the upcoming regular season that

DIVERS EXCEL One family of the STS community
has two diving dynamos! In
March, Ashley, 7B, and Bradley
Buchter, 4B, competed on 1 meter and 3 meter
spring board at the University of Akron in Ohio for a
US Diving Regional competition. Ashley won the 3
meter competition and placed 2nd on 1 meter.
Bradley won both boards. On both boards, they were
in the top 6 divers to qualify for the US Diving East
National Competition.
The National Competition combines the 5 eastern
regions of the US. It was held in late April in
Maryland. Out of the qualifying 30 girl divers in the
14 - 15 age group, Ashley placed 9th on both 1 meter
and 3 meter. Out of the 30 boy divers in the 9 - 10
age group, for the Eastern United States, Bradley
placed 3rd on 3 meter and 1st on 1 meter. By place,
this qualified Bradley as one of the top two divers
per age group gaining him an invitation to an
International competition in Leeds, England, in late
May where he will compete in his age group for the
United States. Two divers per age group from the
East and two divers from the West will represent the
United States at this competition. Bradley may be the
first Central Pennsylvanian that has ever qualified for
an international diving competition!
RUNNING FOR DISTRICT MEET Payton Whyne, 3A, participated in the 2008
Hershey National Track and Field Youth Meet held
on May 14th at Cedar Cliff High School. She took
first place in the 9 to 10-year old girls 400-meter
event with a winning time of 1:29. Payton will
advance to the district meet on June 14th at Eastern
Lebanon High School. Congratulations, Payton!
healthy snacks! Many walked, some of the students
ran, but the laps continued to pile up as each grade
took their turn on the track. After the results were
tabulated by class at each grade level, 7C and 8A
were awarded a DOUD for accumulating the most
laps. Every class had a photo taken with the J & S
Fabricators #22 Sprint Car on display in the parking
lot for the entire day. The car‘s driver answered
plenty of questions. Again this year, loads of snacks
were available due to the efforts of Mrs. Maria
Centurione and Mrs. Mary Catherine Scott along
with Maria‘s mother, Mrs. Mary Ellen DiMasio,
who provided some delicious muffins.
A total of 45 prizes were available. The winners of
the top 5 prizes:
Rachel Barbush, 7A—PSP
William Alford, 6A—Samsung Digital Camera
Thomas Cloak, P4P—Rip Stick
Gabriel Deppen, P3P—MP3 Player
Nick Kurland, 6A—Solidworks Book Bag
As of mid-May, a total of $19,000 has been received
for this event. Each day we receive more and more
return envelopes and we hope to top last year‘s total.
We are so blessed to have the support of the school
families and friends. Thank you to our volunteers,
sponsors, family members, teachers, staff and
students for making this a success. Remember—it’s
never too late to send in a donation to the Race.

PRAYER FOR FAMILIES Heavenly Father, you have given us the model of life in the Holy Family of Nazareth. Help us, O Loving Father, to make our family another Nazareth where love, peace and joy reign. May it be deeply contemplative, intensely Eucharistic, revived with joy. Help us to stay together in joy and sorrow in family prayer. Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our families, especially in their distressing disguise. May the Eucharistic heart of Jesus make our hearts humble like his and help us to carry out our family duties in a holy way. May we love one another as God loves each one of us, more and more each day, and forgive each other's faults as you forgive our sins. Help us, O Loving Father, to take whatever you give and give whatever you take with a big smile. Immaculate Heart of Mary, cause of our joy, pray for us. St. Joseph, pray for us. Holy Guardian Angels, be always with us, guide and protect us. Amen. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
