St. Pius X News

The Math Corps Spelman Summer Program is a tuition-free math and mentoring enrichment program which serves girls who attend schools all over Atlanta. St. Pius X science teacher, Ms. Luz Dominguez, serves as the program coordinator for the Math Corps Spelman. Prior to working with Spelman’s site, she had been a part of the Cleveland, Ohio site for ten years. In the spring, St. Pius X students were invited to help prepare supplies, write notes of encouragement, and create posters for the program. St. Pius students Marli Nicholson '25, Sinatra Vaughn '25, Dede Amaizo '24, Sterling Jatio '26, and Skyler Jatio '24 worked as teaching assistants at the camp, which was held on Spelman College’s campus. Sinatra Vaughn was awarded Best Journal among the teaching assistants. Marli Nicholson and Sterling Jatio were recognized by their professor for outstanding work in their Proof’s class. In just 15 days, math scores for the middle school students who attended the program doubled, from averages in the 30s on the pre-test and in the high 60s on the post-test.

St. Pius X football players, softball players, and cheerleaders held several Works of Mercy service projects over the summer, including making thousands of sandwiches for The Sandwich Project, a non-profit that provides sandwiches to homeless and food insecure families throughout Atlanta, snack bags for Dresden Elementary families, and care packages for families and patients at Mercy Care Medical Clinic.
