CHARLOTTE — WSOC-TV Meteorologist John Ahrens visited Ms. Cosinda Gillison’s class at Our Lady of the Assumption School on March 2 to discuss his favorite topic — the weather.
The pre-kindergarten students have been studying and tracking the weather patterns in the Charlotte area for several weeks.
The students were able to talk with an expert about the causes and effects of small changes in our environment, and how they can quickly lead to good or bad weather.
Ahrens was impressed by the weather knowledge of the pre-k students.

On Feb. 23, Bishop McGuinness High School hosted Model UN for seventh- and eighth-grade students from Catholic middle schools in the Piedmont Triad area, including Immaculate Heart of Mary in High Point, Our Lady of Grace and St. Pius X in Greensboro, Our Lady of Mercy and St. Leo in Winston-Salem, and Sacred Heart in Salisbury.
Teams from each school learned how the United Nations operates and prepared to debate solutions to various conflicts in the culminating event at Bishop McGuinness.
The event has been led by students at the high school for the past 15 years.
At the closing ceremony, awards were given to teams in each debate room.
The top three schools were Our Lady of Grace, St. Pius X and Immaculate Heart of Mary, respectively.
