Sportsmanship Awards

• St. Leo Girls Varsity Basketball - CYO Varsity Sportsmanship Award, 2008-09 and Lancaster CYO League champs!  The team also finished third at the Final 8 of the diocesan tournament.
• St. Leo Boys Varsity Basketball - 2009 Sheldon Bertz Award for sportsmanship.

The fourth grade class participated in a Webinar (virtual seminar) project moderated by the Chester County Intermediate Unit. St. Leo students created a 5 minute Power Point presentation designed around a jeopardy theme. Clues based on our town’s history, geography and economy were the foundation of our game. Using Elluminate and our classroom’s interactive white board the students were able to interact with 3 other schools across the state. The goal was to guess their location. As a result of the students’ hard work, our project was selected for the Pennsylvania Educational Technology Conference held in Hershey on Feb. 10, 2009.
