Erdenheim Cup Champs!

Earlier this month, Phil-Mont hosted its annual Erdenheim Cup, and invited rival middle school soccer teams to compete in this end-of-season tradition. The Lady Falcons took on TCA in the championship game which ended in a 0-0 tie. With the trophy on the line, teams entered an intense penalty kick shootout to decide the victor. Hannah, Mackenzie, and Sierra knocked in their shots, and Susie sealed the deal in goal with a strong save. What an exciting way to finish out the year. Congrats to the team!
Reformation Day Activities
Reformation Day Activities
Posted 10/29/2025
The winners of this year's Reformation Day Writing Contest were announced Wednesday in Chapel. Participating students submitted their essays celebrating the 500th anniversary of Tyndale's English New Testament. Students were given this prompt: William Tyndale promised that if God spared his life, someday soon a plowboy would know more of God's Word than a priest. Why was that such a radical idea in Tyndale's lifetime? How might the Bible still turn the world upside down today - or even challenge us personally?
Congratulations to the following students who were selected as the winning authors:
High School
1st place: Namia David
2nd place: Elianna Hsi
Honorable Mention: Vivien Trott
Middle School
1st place: Charis Porcella
2nd place: Genesis Hicks
Honorable Mention: Rhiannon Montgomery
High school students also learned about the 95 Theses, Martin Luther, Thomas Cranmer, and several other reformers in Bible class this week. They even got some hands-on practice with the lesson by posting a "95 Reese's" tribute on the Library entrance dedicated to all the reformers.

Phil-Mont hosted admissions representatives from 20 colleges and universities at the College Fair on Wednesday. After high school students finished the PSATs/SATs, they headed to the College Fair where they were able to visit the various booths and learn about the degree programs available and important financial aid offerings from schools.
Thank you to Dean Morris for organizing this valuable resource for students and families! It is exciting to consider where Falcons will choose to enroll after graduating from Phil-Mont.
Fire Safety
Fire Safety
Posted 10/8/2025
In recognition of Fire Prevention Week, five firefighters from the Flourtown Fire Company visited our Pre-K classrooms for an exciting and educational morning. Students enjoyed playing a game of "Hot or Not" where the firefighters showed them pictures of common items found throughout the house and they had to shout out whether or not the item was dangerous.
Firefighters also spoke with students about the importance of smoke detectors, family escape routes, and safe meeting places in case of an emergency. Mrs. Montgomery even volunteered to wear all the firefighter gear, which admittedly was quite heavy! The morning culminated in a trip outside to explore the firetruck and get a close look at the crew's tools and equipment.
Thank you to the Flourtown Fire Company for taking the time to visit Phil-Mont and increase our youngest Falcons' fire safety awareness.

A wide range of professions were represented. Students were encouraged to visit each table to learn more about the profession and ask questions.
Thank you to all our parents who came out to support the Career Fair! We know your time is valuable, and we appreciate you spending the afternoon with us.
Congratulations to these select middle school students for earning top marks on the Career Fair reflection assignment.
