Led by fifth grade teacher, Miss Mehring, the Aquinas Club meets every Thursday during middle school's recess period. Club members are picked up in the cafeteria and escorted to the library. Chromebooks are an essential supply for the weekly meetings.
Named after St. Thomas Aquinas, the patron saint of students and universities, the Aquinas program provides middle schoolers the opportunity for a self-guided learning experience. Students choose a topic of study and generate an essential question on which to conduct original research and collaborate.
The Diocese of Rockville Centre (DRVC) will host an Aquinas Expo on May 18, 2023 for students to present their research projects.
The 2022-2023 academic year is the first year in which Holy Name of Mary School is participating in the Aquinas program, which is open to students in Grades 7-8.
