Madonna Catholic Regional School (MCRS), located at 731 Chess Street in Monongahela has been busy with plenty of activities and programs for students and their families.

Pillowcase Project

MCRS Students Create Emergency Supply Kits Using a Pillowcase

The American Red Cross ‘Pillowcase Project’ is a free, interactive preparedness program designed for youth ages 8 to 11. The program aims to increase awareness and understanding of natural hazards and teaches safety, emotional coping skills, and personal preparedness. Recently, MCRS students in grades 3-5 learned the best ways to stay safe and how to create their own emergency supply kits by packing essential items in a pillowcase for easy transport during a disaster. Students also had the opportunity to decorate and personalize their pillowcases and share what they learned with friends and family.

Invention Convention

The MCRS cafeteria came alive for Invention Convention! Students in grades 2-8 came up with some really great ideas! Sixty seven of our 2nd through 8th graders chose to take their inventions to Seton LaSalle High School to compete against six area Catholic schools. Several of our MCRS Inventors placed first, second or third in their age group and Madonna Catholic received Second Place overall in the competition.

Comic Con

Comic Con – MCRS Style!

MCRS held its own ‘Comic con’ in the classrooms during the school day with lots of fun, educational experiences and then opened it up to family and friends in the evening.
