It is with great pride that we announce Mrs. Liliana Mendoza, our 2024-25 Teacher of the Year!

Mrs. Mendoza is our Kindergarten Teacher who goes above and beyond in the classroom, not only imparting knowledge but also nurturing the hearts and souls of our students. “​​I take a holistic approach to teaching, understanding that children thrive in an environment where they feel safe, loved, and respected.”

Mrs. Mendoza shared an interesting fact about her teaching philosophy, she said, “I love picking books that will make my students laugh. I feel like laughter is the best emotion to connect with. It boosts engagement and it makes the lesson fun for everyone.” At MHT, we love to have fun and are very appreciative of the opportunity to work alongside such a gifted educator and role model. Mrs. Mendoza’s exemplary work is just one of the many reasons we are proud of the education we provide here at Most Holy Trinity.

¡Es con gran orgullo que anunciamos a la Sra. Liliana Mendoza, nuestra Maestra del año 2024-25!

La Sra. Mendoza es nuestra maestra de jardín de infantes que va más allá en el salón de clases, no solo impartiendo conocimientos sino también nutriendo los corazones y las almas de nuestros estudiantes. “Adopto un enfoque holístico a la enseñanza, entendiendo que los niños prosperan en un ambiente donde se sienten seguros, amados y respetados”.

La Sra. Mendoza compartió un dato interesante sobre su filosofía de enseñanza: “Me encanta elegir libros que hagan reír a mis alumnos. Siento que la risa es la mejor emoción con la que conectar. Aumenta el compromiso y hace que la lección sea divertida para todos”. En MHT, nos encanta divertirnos y apreciamos mucho la oportunidad de trabajar junto a un educador y modelo a seguir tan talentoso. El trabajo ejemplar de la Sra. Mendoza es solo una de las muchas razones por las que estamos orgullosos de la educación que brindamos aquí en Most Holy Trinity.

February is American Heart Month. The annual event raises awareness about heart disease, the leading cause of death for both men and women, which kills about 610,000 people every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You know exercise and a good diet can keep your heart healthy. But there are other things you can do to keep your ticker going strong.

Incorporate these habits into your lifestyle and show your heart some love.

1. Get More Sleep. Your sleep habits can have a lasting effect on your overall health. Simply tweaking a few of your tech device habits can help upgrade your sleep hygiene for a better night’s rest. Sleeping a solid seven or eight hours per night is a marker of good heart health.
   
2. Move more. Physical activity can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, so make a goal to move more for your heart health. To keep it simple, you can aim for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week of moderate exercise. That includes any activity that gets you moving around and breaking a slight sweat. Even small changes can make all the difference: take the stairs instead of the elevator. If you work at a desk, remember to take regular breaks to move around. Go for a stroll on your lunch break and enjoy regular exercise in your leisure time.
   
3. Connect With People. Make it a priority to spend time with people you’re close to. Talk, laugh, confide, and enjoy each other. It’s good for your emotional health and your heart.

Febrero es el Mes Americano del Corazón. El evento anual crea conciencia sobre las enfermedades cardíacas, la principal causa de muerte tanto para hombres como para mujeres, que mata a unas 610.000 personas cada año, según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades.

Sabes que el ejercicio y una buena dieta pueden mantener tu corazón sano. Pero hay otras cosas que puede hacer para mantener su corazón activo.

Incorpora estos hábitos a tu estilo de vida y muéstrale algo de amor a tu corazón.

1. Duerma más. Tus hábitos de sueño pueden tener un efecto duradero en tu salud general. Simplemente modificar algunos de sus hábitos con los dispositivos tecnológicos puede ayudar a mejorar su higiene del sueño para un mejor descanso nocturno. Dormir siete u ocho horas seguidas por noche es un marcador de buena salud cardíaca.
2. Muévete más. La actividad física puede reducir drásticamente el riesgo de enfermedades cardíacas y accidentes cerebrovasculares, así que proponga moverse más para la salud de su corazón. Para simplificarlo, puedes intentar realizar 30 minutos al día, 5 días a la semana de ejercicio moderado. Eso incluye cualquier actividad que te haga moverte y sudar un poco. Incluso los pequeños cambios pueden marcar la diferencia: utilice las escaleras en lugar del ascensor. Si trabaja en un escritorio, recuerde tomar descansos regulares para moverse. Sal a dar un paseo durante la pausa del almuerzo y disfruta del ejercicio regular en tu tiempo libre.
3. Conéctese con la gente. Haga que sea una prioridad pasar tiempo con las personas cercanas. Hablen, rían, confíen y disfruten unos de otros. Es bueno para tu salud emocional y tu corazón.
