"This year, I tried something new and joined the Genesis Cheerleading Team. And I love it! Being a cheerleader is a big commitment as I must balance it with schoolwork and family. However, meeting new friends, practicing routines with my teammates, taking part in bake sales and events like the Hoban Run and Strides Against Breast Cancer walk make it so enjoyable. Something I would recommend for anyone who is interested in cheerleading is to attend the clinics, practice the routines, and stretch every night!" - Sophia Candella '28

"Last year, when I started at Genesis, I tried something new – playing the snare drum in the percussion section of the band. Being a part of the band has shown me how to expand my ability by reading many varieties of music and also learning many new notes to make our band great and sound excellent! My teachers - Mr. Pasipanki and Mr. Randazzo - have kept me on a fun journey while expanding and improving my ability to play amazing music. Over the last two years, I have developed a new appreciation for how music is created and performed!" -Giovanni Temperino ‘29

"Here at Genesis, not only are my classes interesting, but learning is fun! One of my favorite classes is Literature, a class that has helped my writing and speaking skills greatly improve. This is all thanks to the way that we are taught and assessed – our teachers engage us in our learning with great lessons, activities, and projects. Whether creating a film to demonstrate my understanding of a chapter or writing a newspaper article about an event in a book that I read, I am often exposed to great ways to increase my understanding of what I’ve read. I look forward to learning more at Genesis!" -Ryden Eschrich ‘29

“As a Catholic, I practice my faith in many different ways -- at home, church, and school. Genesis has helped me strengthen my faith by providing me with teachers who care about their faith and ours and who show us different ways to practice it. Whether it is praying at the start of every religion class, saying the Angelus every day at noon, or attending regular prayer services and masses, Genesis allows me to keep in touch with God and motivates me to pray often.” -Salvatore Nicchitta ’27
