Villa Victoria Academy
celebrates Fall Classic
Ewing – Celebrating its unique 'purple haze' culture where Yankees blue blends with Phillies red, Villa Victoria Academy will celebrate its friendly rivalry for Game 1 of the World Series with a day to wear Team Apparel. Students in grades Kindergarten through 12 and faculty will wear the colors of their favorite World Series team on Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Villa Victoria Academy is all-girl school located on the Delaware River –right over the I-95 Scudders Falls Bridge on New Jersey Rt. 29. Its student population is about 60-40 percent split between New Jersey and Pennsylvania residents with 60 percent living in New Jersey, however, the line between team affiliation is not so distinct.
Even the Sisters of the Religious Teachers Filippini order who run the school will wear their team’s colors.
“Everyone is excited to root for our local teams. It is a great way to model friendly rivalry.” Sister Lillian Harrington, MPF, president of Villa Victoria and life-long Yankees fan explains. “No matter what the outcome of the Series is, we all have something to cheer about.”
On Monday, Nov. 2, the school will continue its World Series celebration with a “Cheesesteaks and Cheesecakes” Day for lunch. Healthy menu items will still be offered, but this day will also feature New York and Philadelphia culinary specialties.
Celebrating 75 years of preparing young women to be smart, strong, confident leaders, Villa Victoria Academy is a private, Catholic college preparatory school for young women in grades K to 12. Founded in 1933 by the Religious Teachers Filippini, it currently enrolls 200 students from the Bucks (PA) and Mercer (NJ) county areas.
Since 2007, nine National Commended Students have graduated from Villa Victoria Academy and 100 percent of Villa Victoria graduates attend college, most to the nation’s top universities. For more information about Villa Victoria Academy, please visit its website at www.villavictoria.org.
