Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.

Soccer Playoffs Recap - Varsity Champs!

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 17:45:45 GMT

The 2026 Soccer Season has ended with a title!

Our Varsity Soccer team defeated OLPH/OLF/St. Madeline's (or "OLA," for Our Lady of Angels) in the Championship game on Sunday, November 8, at Cardinal O'Hara High School. After an undefeated season, including a previous 5-2 win over OLA, the Knights found themselves in a dramatically tight battle all night long! A late Danny Hewitt goal in the first half put St. Thomas up 1-0. But the game got even tighter when OLA tied the game midway through the second half.

Both teams traded chances and close calls, but neither could find the decisive goal. So, with regulation ending in a 1-1 tie, the teams headed to Golden Goal (sudden death) Overtime! Two 15:00 overtime periods saw the same intensity. The game almost ended on an effort from Gabe Schuck, but his attempt hit the bottom of the crossbar, bounced out, and was cleared away.

With no Golden Goal, the teams headed to decisive Penalty Kicks. St. Thomas sent out five players: Rocco Catanese, Stephen Gana, Vinny Spinogatti, Dan Hewitt, and Jackson Gorman. Tommy Graham was the keeper assigned to keep OLA at bay. All five players from St. Thomas displayed incredible calm and confidence, and each one scored their goal without any doubt. Despite Tommy Graham choosing the right direction on the first two OLA PKs, all five opposition goals also found the back of the net.

The rules dictate that if there is no winner after the first five rounds, the subsequent rounds will become sudden death. And under that pressure, Nick Prior stepped to the line and, without hesitation, blasted his shot into the corner of the net to give the Knights the advantage. And that advantage would prove to be the difference maker as the next OLA kicker sent his attempt over the crossbar!

There was a moment of confusion as not everyone realized it was sudden death. But as the reality set in, the St. Thomas bench charged the field and celebrated at midfield for the first St. Thomas Soccer championship in 18 years!

Congratulations to your 2026 Division 2 Undefeated Regional Champions!

2026 Volleyball Season Recap

Registration for the upcoming winter season is now open for all age divisions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
