On Saturday, January 30th, Ms. Sneath, the 6th Grade Teachers, and I visited the college campus of Alvernia University with twenty energetic 6th grade students & seven supportive parents from New Holland Elementary School. During our visit to Alvernia University, Alvernia gave us a tour of the college, some yummy cheese pizza from Mimmo’s Pizzeria, & tickets to the Alvernia Men’s Basketball home contest. We stayed the entire second half of the game to cheer on the Alvernia Crusaders to a nail-biting 72-64 victory over the Messiah Falcons. At the end of the game, the students gathered for a perfect group photo:

If you were unable to attend this first trip, the “Oh The Places We Can Go” College Campus Tour Experience will continue with our next trip scheduled at the beginning of April.  Here is a schedule & some information to share with your family:

We created some amazing memories together at Alvernia University.  We hope to see many more 6th graders to our next two scheduled college campus tours.
