Notre Dame High School

Our campus ministry delivered Advent reflection kits to each ND student on the first day of the new liturgical year. A virtual Advent prayer service was also held for each class to kickoff the joyful waiting period for Christ that we are entering. During our spiritual journey through Advent, let us connect with God and reflect on the celebration that is to come.

Student Council challenged all of our students to bring in cans and other non-perishable items during the month of October in hopes of restocking St. Matthias’s Food Pantry. Our always generous students rose to the occasion and now the pantry is full!

As a school community, we expressed gratitude for the founding of the School Sisters of Notre Dame congregation and celebrated our Foundress, Mother Theresa Gerhardinger, by uniting for a prayer service outside of the motherhouse with the SSND.

We have been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with daily Spanish prayers and cultural facts during October. Today, several of our students continued to share their heritage with their classmates. The celebration of Hispanic Heritage included learning traditional dances like Macarena and Banda in the gym plus a pinata in Sacred Heart Square. The building has been decorated to celebrate too — flags, posters, Quinceanera photos and a Dia de los Muertos ofrenda in the chapel are all on display. Thank you to all the students that helped us organize such a fun cultural celebration!

Our faculty and staff participated in Diversity & Inclusion Training at the end of September. Topics included the difference between diversity and inclusion, creating more inclusive environments, unconscious bias, and biases within education. This is one step we have taken to increase our own awareness and engage in a dialogue that deepens our understanding and ignites compassion so that we can chart a path forward and transform our world through education.
