I love being at OMC. It is such a privilege. There is a waiting list to get into the school! Many people really want their children to come to OMC. OMC is a Catholic school, so we go to church a lot during school hours. Many Catholics go to public schools and don’t have this opportunity. OMC gives me and many others a great education and prepares us for high school very well. There are also fun activities for us. We have Spirit Day, many fun activities during Catholic Schools Week, and more. OMC excels academically. We won the Blue Ribbon in the 2014-2015 year. We have many after-school activities and CYO sports. We have specials classes where we learn special skills, such as art and computer skills. All the teachers are wonderful and the students are great. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Overall, OMC is a terrific!

OMC is a really great school because we do a lot of community work that goes towards helping other people. We dress down in normal clothes and donate money, or we bring in food that eventually gets donated to families, charities, and other places in need. OMC didn’t just become a blue ribbon school because of community service acts, OMC is also really great because the learning at school is fun. We get to learn on tablets and computers, by playing apps that helps boost our skills in math, science, and other school - related activities. OMC plays a huge role in getting kids to try new things and be active. We have many after school activities that consist of reading, basketball, math and other fun activities. In conclusion OMC is, as I've said before, A REALLY GREAT SCHOOl!

OMC is the best school you could ever dream of, that's why I love going here ! Since I been going here since pre-K I know the ins and outs of the school, and what great teachers have left and joined the school. OMC was great before it was titled a Blue Ribbon School, that just gives you a better reason of why you should love our school ! Also why I love this school is because, of its curriculum. The tools of learning here are outstanding which include, ipads, laptops, and skills for everyday life. Anyway OMC is a privilege school to go to, I know others schools seem better, but OMC has it's perks of why it's great, and makes me feel homier. But I could go on on about OMC, because we do tons of service projects that go to great causes, and fun activities like Catholic schools week, and Spirt Day. In conclusion, OMC is my 2nd home and is very inviting.

OMC is a Blue Ribbon school. A reason that I think that it’s a blue ribbon school is because it’s service of act. OMC has lots of fundraisers to benefit our school that you might not know about like, Tag day money goes to people who need help like for example, the poor. I think that OMC is the best school you can be at. It’s a great opportunity to be at this school. OMC has great tools for every subject. It’s a very great privilege to be at OMC. Although this is my first year, I think that this school has great teachers, using good skills. From what I have seen, this school has a great amount of students, and they also have great exact time classes, meaning, since i’m in 5th grade, I have to switch classes, so for each class, I have a great amount of being in that class, so it won’t be too boring. In my opinion, it’s very easy to make friends at this school because everyone is very kind and nice, and it’s a variety of children to make friends with. If you’re wondering about the teachers then I think that they are very nice, kind,, and caring. One thing that you might not pay close attention to is that, Teachers care about your education, especially here. OMC is not like any other catholic school, it’s great in it’s own way. I really can’t tell much about this Blue Ribbon School since it’s my first year but I think that if you’re trying to look for a great school for your child then, OMC is the best school for you.

I love tech class. It has been interesting to have a school email and use google. I miss having one large powerpoint or writing piece. The classroom has been fun and easy to keep track of. Everything is on one page. It is also useful to have everything online because you don't have to have a folder, a notebook and a binder for just tech. Alot happens in class and other classes too. School is great on the upper floor because it is so fun to switch classes.

I absolutely love, love, LOVE OMC. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else in the world.Seriously. OMC has the best teachers, staff and students. You can find a friend in every grade. The curriculum is great, too. We are lucky enough to have the privileges of ipads, computers, laptops and technology class. We have all of that because of people just like you who love OMC just as much as I do. Without their donations, we would not be striving as much as we are today. If you are a parent, and you want your child to have these experiences, guess what. Tuition is easy to afford! How great is that? Please trust me. After all, I have been going to OMC for six years.

OMC Catholic schools week has been a lot of fun. My favorite part of this week so far was when we decorated our classroom door. This is because it was something we could all do as a class. It was also an opportunity for us to work together as a class to design and organize something together. It also gives us a chance to express our creativity

Going to Our Mother Of Consolation makes me feel very special as that this school actually has a waiting list up to a year. The students here are very loving, sweet, caring, and kind, and I have made friends, or acquaintances with the most of them. The older students strive to be role models for the younger students, and the principal, Ms. Ponte, is a very understanding and generous lady. She lights up the school in a way that I have never seen before. I must say, that we are blessed to have her as our new principal for the year 2016 and continuing. We use the latest technology such as iPads, laptops, and computers. We also have a teacher which we call Maestra Adriana that teaches us Spanish, whose classes we take twice a week, Wednesday, and Thursday. We also take technology, art, music, and physical education for our special classes, in which we call “specials.” All teachers are sweet, but my favorite teacher is Mrs. Beatty. We share the same love for a play called “Hamilton,” and she’s one of the most modern, intelligent, and forgiving teachers you will ever know in your entire life! She is truly amazing, and a smile is always on my face when I walk into the fifth grade classroom to take English class, which includes reading, spelling, and vocabulary. The education is of high quality, and 8th graders have gone to high schools with scholarships and have progressed amazingly. One example of extracurricular activities is Reading Olympics, I have been enrolled in it for 2 years straight, and let me just say, it has been a blast being a part of the OMC Bookworms, and the OMC Night Owls. Every single year we have earned blue ribbons, and I personally am so proud of our abilities and determination to strive and try our best. Every single student here is special, amazing, and a child of God. I may not be part of the parish community, but we go to Mass at least once every week. All in all, this is the best Catholic school. The Our Mother Of Consolation spirit will be in all the students hearts forever.

I think OMC is a great school because it helps children grow more faith in God. I think it helps children learn from there mistakes and help them more in there life. OMC helps your child or children become better at things they needed help with.

OMC school is a great school to go to. The teachers are very smart, helpful, and nice. I play for my school basketball team which is JV. We are 6-2 right now. At recess, the boys of 6th grade play football in the yard. We were also a blue ribbon school in 2015.

Going to school at OMC is great so far .My favorite subject is science because we do lots of fun things like review games, projects and much more. The thing I don’t like at OMC is when we get lots of homework which can be annoying. In ELA,we work on stories, narratives ,Reading logs, Gallery walks and other stuff. In math, we do review games ,math maintence papers, tests, math maintenance quizzes. Projects can be fun sometimes until you have to write project information and actually experiment on your project. I did it the night before actually.That’s what I don’t like for science projects. OMC is a great school and it teaches me alot I need to know.

OMC is great. They have fun activities and food and clothing drives all throughout the school year. Ms. Ponte is our principal and Ms. Gorman is our sixth grade teacher. Some days we have “TAG Days” which are school days when we don’t have to wear a uniform and pay one dollar to raise money for something. We also have special classes once or twice a week. We have spanish, computer, physical education, music, and art as our specials. OMC has helped me learn and grow and I hope it continues to

Going to school at omc is a blessing. At OMC everyone grows as a family. We are serious but can always be fun. We show respect and are taught virtues to live as we get older. I love going to OMC because of the teachers and students.everyone is so nice.I run track for CYO and love it. At OMC we help our community and throughout all of Pennsylvania. We love to help. I am in advanced math and is a great experience. We learn algebra and geometry and they explain things thoroughly so that we understand them.

Well I must say going to Our Mother of Consolation school has been fun. It is very interesting and the classes are not boring at all. I like every class except spanish (no offense to the spanish teacher). What is it like, you don’t even know. And sometimes you don’t want to know. At 12:15 You get 20 minutes of recess and 20 minutes of lunch. 10:15 you get a 10 minute snack and until 3rd grade you get snack recess. I would stay here all the way through college if I could but it only goes up to eighth grade.

O.M.C. has been a great experience for me so far. The staff and teachers have helped me become a better all around person and not just a better student. That doesn't mean that I get up every day of the week and say yay school! At O.M.C they push you to the academic limit and make sure that you succeed. This is a great school I wouldn't have it any other way!

At OMC, kids are smart, quick, and growing up fast. In OMC, there is never a time when a kid is left out. We help kids that are struggling and that have hard times doing work. The principal is Ms. Ponte who was the new principal of 2016. As a student of OMC, it’s very easy to make friends and do work, not when you’re in the older grades. We have specials classes like spanish, computer, gym, and art. I first started school in OMC when I was in second grade. It was a bit struggling because I didn’t know anybody except my two friends Samantha and Ben. I didn’t study much but the teachers helped me get better grades so I can go throughout the higher grades. Now, I’m a whole lot better now and I get honors.

Here are some of the reasons that I like and dislike omc. So there are a lot of great things to do at OMC, like you can play for a cyo team like the basketball team or track team. And I feel as though the best thing to do in my opinion would be the omc basketball team. AndIi love the classes all but spanish class. Because all my teachers are nice all but a few. But those people help me prepare for my later life. Like certain classes are more about life than classes. Mrs.Pave the gym teacher is very fun and we play a lot of amazing games you will not believe

OMC is a great school! The teachers and friends are kind and helpful, and the academics have very high standards. I am so blessed to go here! Since I’m in 6th grade, I can set a good example to the little kids. Also, many 8th graders here have gone to high schools with scholarships, and have progressed. Even so, many students have differences, but they can still behave well, and get pins; Respect, Responsibility, Effort, and Student Leader. In 2015, OMC won a blue ribbon and I felt SO PRIVILEGED to go to a blue ribbon school.

Going to O.M.C deprives me of my sleeping time. I don’t like waking up early. Also, I find school rather dull. On the upside however, O.M.C provides me with a good education and efficient learning. The teachers at O.M.C are good, too. They teach students discipline and respect.

Going to school at O.M.C. My friends are one of the best things that ever happened to me. I also like the fact that most of the teachers are very fun. I really like the new principal. Miss Ponte is a really fun and nice teacher. Mr Hagy wasn’t bad; he was grea,t but i love Ms Ponte. She is very modern she uses social media, is okay with using ipads and laptops and encourages people to be modern. She represents reality and the present. She is very kind and understanding. Every time I walk down to see my friends, she is the first person to say hello; she is such a nice principal. Enough about the principal. I love my friends they give me so much they give me one of the most important things in the world friendship. The teachers are understanding. There are many extra curriculum I am in theatre and I love it. I am only in 6th grade and I have 12 lines. That is maybe not that much but my very best friend who is in my same grade is the lead. I love omc. I might not be able to do gym class but I get to help pre kers. I love doing it it is so much fun and is the best. I also get to make my talents shine not trying to be vain. I love omc it is so much. I get to give writing things and grades. I love my grades I might not be an Einstein but I am still pretty smart. I love to be in omc I love the subjects and the theatre and the people and everything. It is still very safe. I have known a lot of my class since I first came here. I still love it and I have a very strong bond I love O.M.C.

I believe that Our Mother of Consolation school is quite a wonderful place. OMC has a kind, friendly, and diverse community. We have earned a blue ribbon for our academic excellence, and all the teachers here at OMC are constantly helping us learn and grow with God each day. Despite the fact that OMC is a catholic school, we still always accept all races and religions. No one will be unaccepted for their looks, disabilities, race or religion.
Next, I want to talk about after school activities, and other special activities. Some really fun activities we have are: The Choir, the theater group, journalism, the school band, reading olympics, and more. Each class also participate in every school special: Art, music, computer class, Spanish class, and gym class. We excel in each of these each day, getting better at each of these activities.
The order of the teachers in the younger grades are: Mrs. Mayberry, Mrs. Sellers, Mrs. Weir, Mrs. Kletzel, and Mrs. Logan. In the upper grades the teachers are: Mrs. Beatty, Ms. Gorman, Ms. Canio, and Mr. Leonard. Without all of these teachers, I do not think I would be officially prepared for high school.
I believe that when I go to eighth grade, I will not feel unsure about high school.
