Wednesday, February 9, 2011 Edition #26 Cathedral High School Vision Cathedral High School, a Catholic institution, will be the model for all high schools as she profoundly shapes the way students think, serve and lead. Dear Cathedral Parents, Cathedral High School Mission Cathedral, a Catholic college preparatory high school, provides to a diverse group of students opportunities for spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth through service and academic excellence. Please mark your calendars for Thursday, February 17th when we will be having our second semester Parent-Teacher Conferences. This is earlier in the semester than we usually schedule this night, but it is early enough in the quarter to allow students to be able to still affect their 3rd Quarter grades. This conference is from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. and we will be in the Robert V. Welch Student Activity Center and in the Cafeteria. Also, to provide for these meetings, students will be dismissed at 2:15 p.m. on that day. Since some of your children have changed teachers for this semester, this will give you a chance to at least meet these individuals so involved in your child’s life. Many of you have questions about snow days and possible make-up days. We had two extra “snow days” built into our school calendar, but have used three for snow and ice. This means that we will have at least one day to make-up. I want to see how the rest of the month goes before making a final decision about make-up day(s). I will let you know of the final decision for this by the end of February.

We have 240 students for whom we still do not have updated shot records. As you know, an Indiana law passed last summer listed additional shots required for students between 6th and 12th grades. If you have received notification that proof of these shots is needed, the deadline to be sure they are in to our Registrar Susie Thornburg is Tuesday, February 15, 2011. If you wish to fax records to her, the fax number is 31/-543-5050 attn. Susie Thornburg.

After August, 2010 every child in Indiana who enters grade 9 – 12 shall be immunized against pertussis with booster shots (Tdap) for all 11-12 year old children. This is a change in the law (410 IAC 1-1-1) as well as two additional immunizations required for students in grades 6 – 12. They are 1 dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) and a second dose of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. We have added the minimum immunization requirement for your review. All shot records must be updated and current in the student file at his or her school.

The 8-member team, moderated by Mrs. Jenny Herron, reads and studies 8 different Eliot Rosewater winners (Best Young Adult Hoosier Books) and prepares for written tests and lightning-round stages of competition against surrounding area high school teams. The team includes: Jackson McGrath, Brenna Holland, Bailey Lewis, Danila Burnham, Kaylee Titsworth, Audrey Gelb, Abigail Helvering, and Willy Dimond. Several entries have already been received for the library/media center’s “What Makes You hAPPy?” best educational app contest. Students are encouraged to share their favorite educational apps for use on iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Smartphone. See a librarians for details, the deadline is February 18. The winner receives a $25.00 iTunes gift cardJ Recently our technology crew installed the computer game “Civilization IV” on one of the library/media center’s computers. Students are welcome to access this and play during resource and before & after school. Recent studies indicate that educational gaming is gaining popularity among educators, especially in math and science. “Civilization IV” has been reviewed by educational journals as instructive in social and political history. The American Library Association announced January 10th the top young adult media awards, and several of these winners are displayed now in our library, available for check out by students, parents, and staff. Remember, because we’re an Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library branch, items checked out at any IMCPL branch can be returned here at CHS, and students may request any IMCPL item be sent here for check out. ~~~~~ Camp Cathedral Summer 2011 - Register Online Today!

Thank you. ~~~~~ If anyone has tickets to events i.e. Pacers, Ice, IRT, Circus etc that you are unable to use please contact Mike Feeney at 968-7348 or mfeeney@cathedral-irish.org We would like to make unused tickets available to our teachers or students who would otherwise not be able to attend these events. Dear parents of seniors, The senior class has traditionally attended a Shakespearean play at the IRT. We are continuing that tradition by having the seniors attend a matinee production of IRT’s In Acting Shakespeare on Monday, February 21. The tickets cost $9.25, and students need to bring that money to their English teachers as soon as possible. Teachers would appreciate if students could bring exact change or pay by check made out to Cathedral High School. Their payment of that money is your approval of their attendance. Transportation is not provided by Cathedral High School, so students will need to drive themselves. We urge them to carpool with other students. The most reasonable parking rates can be found in the Circle Center Mall parking garages. We will give them a map to the theatre. The students will attend the matinee that begins at 10:00 AM. We ask that they meet us at the IRT by 9:40. The play will last approximately two hours. After the performance, the students are released for the day. They do not report to school in the morning, and they are free after the performance. Finally, we will be discussing theatre etiquette and asking students to dress appropriately for the play. Because the students represent Cathedral High School, we require them to be on their best behavior. We ask young men to wear shirts and ties and dress pants. Young ladies may wear appropriate length dresses or skirts or dress pants. No students should wear jeans. We appreciate your support in this area. If you have any problems or questions, please contact Mrs. Keyes at Cathedral High School. Kathy Keyes (kkeyes@cathedral-irish.org Spanish Competition Team will be practicing every Wednesday before school from 6:45 until 7:30 in the Nuttall Lab and after school from 3:15 to 4:00 in the MML. There are still spots available if your student would like to be on the team! There is also a category for Heritage Speakers who speak Spanish in the home. Please email Mrs. Rose Egan (regan@cathedral-irish.org) if you have questions. ~~~~~ 2011-2012 SCHEDULING: February is the month when current freshmen, sophomores and juniors will be making their course selections for the 20112012 school year.

Juniors will go to the computer lab with the College Advisors during one of their US History classes to register for their senior-year classes. Once online registration is complete, students will bring home a copy of their selected classes. A parent-signed copy of the schedule must be returned to the Guidance office. Mike Jaskoski Director of Guidance and College Advising On behalf of the French department, we would like to remind parents that we will be having our French exchange students coming in the spring from Lyon, France.

On February 14th we will be beginning a program for young women called “ENDOW: Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Women”. This is a study group that meets once a week for 8 weeks and is open to any female student. The purpose of this program is to inspire young women with the possibilities of their womanhood, encourage women to embrace their God-given spiritual and physical gifts, challenge women in service to their families, community, and church and to support women as they bring their gifts and talents in to the plan that God has laid for them. Study groups will be led by trained faculty and staff members and we will be using Pope John Paul II’s encyclical called Letter to Women as well as scripture as part of our study program. We will meet at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, February 14th in Mrs. Witka’s office off the Student Life Center.

I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you gave to shelter. I was ill and you came to see me.” As Feb still emits an icy greeting, we have the following warm and inspirational service opportunities for our Cathedral students. Class Service Projects “Anyone can be great. Because anyone can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve…You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” Martin Luther King. We are reminded by this quote that our service helps us to develop that heart of grace so that we can generously love one another, as asked in our Christian walk. February has the following service activities to help wrap up our service reporting: Our freshman will be helping at the Christmas Store on Thursday, Feb 10 to prepare for next year’s Christmas. On Saturday, Feb 12, our juniors will prepare and serve a tasty lunch at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen. Join our service leadership workshop on February 19 as Cathedral alums inspire us with their life experiences in serving community needs. We invite students and parents to save the date of Feb 26 to help at University of Indianapolis in our MAKE IT MINE IPS outreach. Details on all of these on-going class service projects are noted below in Service Opportunities as wonderful expressions of our ability to gather at the table with our brothers and sisters. Grant Writing Any students interested in working on grants for Marion Country projects, please see Mrs. Halstead about your interest or contact her via email at chalstead@cathedral-irish.org. The deadline for these grants would be Feb 18 and 16 you earn service hours for your grant writing and project development. Earning grants shows another area of depth for college application. USO Evening at Camp Atterbury Over thirty Cathedral students and ten adults traveled to Camp Atterbury last Saturday evening. We recorded valentine video messages and shared an evening of games and solidarity with soldiers from New Mexico and Pennsylvania heading out on a peace keeping mission to Kosovo. Our hearts grew in solemn acknowledgement of the commitment served by these men and women for our country and we enjoyed the opportunity to directly thank them. The soldiers all expressed their appreciation for our time spent with them and we left, knowing that we had received the richest gift, the honor of saluting them. This endeavor has been wonderfully led by junior Liz Subrin for two years now. Our next trip will be March 12. Catholic Charities Refugee Drive A multitude of hygiene items, lamps, TVs and other sundry items have been donated to support the Catholic Charities Refugee Center. Our appreciation is extended to all students, families, faculty and staff for their donations to aid the refugees relocated from their home lands who arrive in Indianapolis displaced and without family. Our two ambassadors, Katy Hoeper, sophomore, and Liz Subrin, junior, have dynamically led us in this important and heartfelt collection. S.A.I.L (Students Active in Initiative and Leadership) Workshop Students are invited to a leadership workshop on Saturday, Feb 19 from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM at Cathedral in the SLC. The fee for this workshop is $25. The morning session will be guided by the leadership experiences of four noteworthy Cathedral alumni, who are actively engaged in not for profit agencies in the Indianapolis community. The afternoon session will include break-out sessions to focus upon the work and worth of these agencies in our Indianapolis community. Our students will have an opportunity to direct how the collective donation of $10 per person (part of the workshop fee of $25) will be used by the agency to further its community work. We will close the session with a zumba and ukulele lesson. If needed, scholarship may be applied for the workshop fee. See registration form and flyer for details. Four service hours may be earned. Any questions, please contact Cheri Halstead, email chalstead@cathedral-irish.org or 968 7317.

Cathedral artists, musicians, athletes, scholars and dancers will lead six activity centers regarding music, art, athletics, reading, writing, and art. The theme of the day is MAKE IT MINE.

Our next MAKE IT MINE event will take place at University of Indianapolis on Saturday, February 26. Reserve this date now in your calendar to help out on this special day.

Service Reflection They say it takes a minute to serve a special person, An hour to appreciate them, A day to love them, But then an entire life to forget them. May your Cathedral service personally enrich you and your spirituality, as we seek to address challenges faced by our brothers and sisters in our immediate community and world-wide. Service hours for freshmen, sophomore and junior students for the academic year of 20010-11 are due on March 1, 2011. Seniors graduation hours for the academic year of 2010-2011 were due on December 1, 2010. Click here for the 2010-11 Service Documentation. Click here for the 2009-10 Service Documentation form. Click here for the Service Hour Criteria. Hours will not be accepted more than sixty days after the date of service performance. Please check the service criteria because neighbor help, family help and working for a business without pay is not accepted as service hours. We always encourage our students to help their families and neighbors but we do not accept these efforts as service hours. We seek to perform our service in the spirit of Matthew 25:35-36. 22 ~~~~~ Athletics: Boys Basketball Boys JV/Varsity Basketball games vs. Chatard rescheduled for next Monday, February 14, 2011 @ Chatard at 6:00pm and 7:30 pm.

Hopefully your answer would be a big "YES!” Don't let a sport determine who you are as a person. Let that be determined by your morals, behavior and attitude.

Meditation: Meditation: Mark 7:14-23 “What comes out of a person, that is what defiles.” (Mark 7:20) Have you ever felt like you were leading two different lives? On the one hand, there’s the “you” that everyone sees on a daily basis. It’s the personality you project to the world, maybe even to your closest friends and loved ones. But on the other hand, there may be a “you” that you keep hidden—a person who is hiding sins and imperfections, always trying to put on a good show. In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus explains that the origins of sin and defilement are in the dispositions of the heart. In other words, the out-ward expressions of sin—cheating, lying, stealing, acts of impurity—all start as germs of thought and desire in our hearts. Think of an iceberg: A small portion is visible, but the biggest chunk of ice is below the surface. A ship’s captain may think that the tip of the iceberg is just a chunk of floating ice, nothing worth worrying about. But if he fails to account for the foundation, the results could be disastrous. In a similar way, if we discount our own sins as random acts of disobedience without dealing with what is churning away in our hearts, we too are asking for trouble. The hidden portion of the iceberg is still there and still very dangerous. Experience tells us that what is in our hearts will eventually affect our behavior and our relation-ships. Holding on to sin in secret will darken our spiritual clarity and wound our friends and family members—often in ways we may not expect. And then there is also the stress we experience from trying to keep parts of our lives in the dark and having to keep up an act. Imagine how much peace we would have if our inner hearts and outer lives truly were reflections of Christ. Today, let’s try to do just that, by bringing our inner darkness into the light of Christ. The best place to do this is in the confessional, but even in our daily lives, through the gift of repentance, we can begin the process of healing and reconciliation. Come clean to the Lord, and watch to see how he brings peace and clarity to your heart! Blessings, Principal Cathedral High School dworland@cathedral-irish.org 28
