Afterwards, several students inquired about future internship opportunities at Wabtec. STEMPath students are hoping for an opportunity to visit Wabtec’s engineering and production facilities.

March was an incredible month of growth, connection, and community impact for our Dance Department!

💙 They proudly celebrated Dance A Difference Week, where our dancers turned their passion into purpose. Through their efforts, they were able to support the Dafmark Creative Arts Program. This program helps provide access to the arts for young creatives in our community.

🩰 They also welcomed amazing guest speakers who expanded our dancers’ knowledge beyond the studio:

• Christina Brown, physical therapist, shared valuable insight on injury prevention, physical therapy, and cross-training for dancers.
• Anne Maleno, owner of Tricryo, introduced recovery techniques that support dancer and athlete wellness.

🌟 These experiences are what make our program so special. We are committed to not only developing strong dancers, but also well-rounded, informed individuals by connecting with professionals and engaging with our community.

Thank you for supporting our dancers’ journey and celebrating the power of dance! #Prep #CommunityThroughDance #DanceEducation

Happy Holy Thursday! Today, during our activity period, students performed Living Stations of the Cross. Led in prayer by Kate Patsy ’27, Charlotte Przybylinski ’26, and Bella Speros ’26, students re-enacted Jesus’ journey to Calvary, while narrators shared the stories of each station and those who joined him. Abby Ladaika ’27 closed with a beautiful dance, symbolizing Jesus’ resurrection, to close the program. This newfound tradition prepares our school community for Easter and Jesus' resurrection! #Prep #Faith #Community ✝
