NOTRE DAME PAW PRINTS www.notredamehighschool.org February 2016 Since 2005 From the Desk of BROTHER DAVID Dear Parents and Guardians, Well, it is hard to believe but it is February and we have one month over in the second semester. It really is hard to believe that the year is going by so fast. January was not only a busy month but a most productive month here at school. I am very pleased with the first semester report cards: our students did rather well and, more importantly, so many students improved on their first quarter grades. However, this is not the time to slack off because, traditionally, the third quarter is the most difficult quarter, so that means we all need to keep our students focused on their first priority SCHOOL. I am very happy to announce that we had 150 students take our placement exam. That will provide us with a healthy class and keep our enrollment growth steady. January was a month that just seemed to run away with itself; so many wonderful activities occurred. Exciting games, assemblies, liturgies, musical auditions, dance competitions, grade school basketball tournaments, and the start of new classes allowed all of us to start FRESH and NEW. Our Winter Extravaganza was most successful and - ready or not - we have begun Underclassmen Registration for the 2016-17 school year. I am so grateful for our parents, students, faculty, and staff that give so freely of their time, talent, and treasure to make all of these events a reality. Since it is LEAP YEAR, we will be leaping over so much as we begin February. Catholic Schools Week, Counselors Week, and Homecoming will make this month just fly by. I do not think there is a free day here at school. Mardi Gras, Lent, Trivia Night, and our annual 5k/10k in honor of Jean Hermsdorfer are just some of the highlights of the month ahead. I am very happy to announce that our annual Franciscan Mission Service Week will be held here at Notre Dame. Our sister schools, Saint Anthony's High School (Long Island, NY) and Saint Francis Prep (Fresh Meadows, NY) will be here joining our students and faculty in a full week of service to many agencies here in Southeast Missouri. I love this week because we get the opportunity to welcome these visitors who are always so good to us. It is now our turn to show them the great hospitality that characterizes the Midwest. Last but not least, I am always so proud of the way SPIRITUALITY remains the hallmark of our school. Our retreats, liturgies, and acts of service make Notre Dame a most sacred place. Just recently we had to cancel our participation in the March For Life trip to Washington, DC due to weather. THAT DID NOT STOP NOTRE DAME. On Friday, January 22, our students prayed and WALKED THE TRACK every hour of the school day praying for our nation and the sanctity of life. It is these moments that continue to inspire me and reflect on the goodness that surrounds all of us each day here at school. So get ready for another busy month, a month that will continue the mission of Notre Dame. I hope to see you at one, two, three, or every event this month. Know that you are in our prayers. Be certain of my gratitude for all you do for Notre Dame. In Notre Dame, Our Mother and Guide, Brother David Anthony Migliorino, OSF Principal 1 MANDATORY MEETING AT LEAST ONE PARENT OF EACH AND EVERY SENIOR WHO WILL ATTEND GRADUATION, and one parent of each underclassman who plans to attend the PROM will be required to attend a brief meeting at one of the following times: Wednesday, April 13 7:15 a.m. 12:15 p.m. Thursday, April 14 7:15 a.m. 12:15 p.m. 7:00 p.m. ATTENDANCE will be taken at these meetings.
