ST. RITA CELEBRATES CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

Sierra Madre, CA – Students at St. Rita School will celebrate National 
Catholic Schools Week, January 31-February 5, 2016, with a daily 
line-up of fun activities on campus and community outreach projects 
designed to honor the Sierra Madre organizations that make our 
town so unique and special.

 The week kicks off with students and their families “packing the 
church” at the 10 o’clock Mass on Sunday, January 31, followed by a 
school-wide open house from 11:00 am-1:00 pm in which current and 
prospective families can tour the classrooms, view student artwork on 
display and have coffee and donuts while marveling at exhibits in the 
students’ Science Fair. 

 In the school week following, students will enjoy a kickball 
tournament, a pep rally to celebrate school spirit, and participate in 
a “souper bowl” where students bring a can of soup to be donated 
and wear their favorite team jersey. Classes also compete in a “Penny 
Crusade” to raise funds for the thousands of homeless men, women 
and children in the San Gabriel Valley served by Catholic Charities. 

 The Transitional Kindergarten through 8th Grade classrooms 
will work on a community “thank-you” project to recognize those 
at the Fire Department, Library, Post Office, Parks and Recreation 
Department, CLIMB, the Chamber, Women’s Club, Senior Center 
and City Hall. 

 The week’s highlight will be a mass celebrated by Bishop O’Connell 
on Tuesday, February 2nd at 8:00am. The Most Reverend David G. 
O’Connell is the Episcopal Vicar of the San Gabriel Pastoral Region, 
one of the five Pastoral Regions in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. In 
his pastoral ministry, Bishop O’Connell has always been very active 
in serving those in need. St. Rita invites the parish and community to 
attend.

 St. Rita is a top-ranked Catholic parish school, located at 322 N. 
Baldwin Ave. in Sierra Madre, which focuses on faith, stewardship 
and academic excellence. Visit www.st-ritaschool.org for more 
information. Applications are currently being accepted, and school 
tours are available by appointment.

AHS SENIOR TO COMPETE IN THE ‘NOBEL PRIZE 
FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’

Arcadia High senior George Hou was 
named one of 300 semifinalist in the 
country, and now he is one of just 40 
finalists nationally for the prestigious 75th 
annual Intel Science Talent Search. 

 Each of the finalists receives $7,500. 
Ten of the finalists were from California, 
which in recent years has emerged as 
a science powerhouse, competing with 
longer-established competitive schools on 
the East Coast.

 The competition selects students based 
on their scientific research and on the 
potential they show as future scientific 
leaders. In March they will undergo final 
judging in Washington, D.C., where 
they will publicly display their work and 
meet with notable scientists. Three first-
place prizes, worth $150,000 each, will be 
awarded, along with second- and third-
place prizes.

Hou’s project involves Separating Mixed 
Signals in Noise-Polluted Environments 
Using Global Optimization

This competition is acclaimed as the 
nation’s most 
prestigious 
pre-college 
science 
competition, and what some call the “Nobel Prize for high school students.” 

The contest is run by the Society for Science & the Public for its sponsor, the Intel Corporation.
