Wednesday, November 17, 2010 Edition #16 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, This Thursday, November 18th, will be our annual Open House for prospective families. I realize that many of you will be working at this program. I thank you in advance for your commitment to Cathedral, for your service, and for your gifts of time and talent. 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. On Tuesday, we enjoyed a convocation with Dr. Ben Carson, a world-acclaimed Pediatric Neurosurgeon in the Washington, D.C. area. He shared his story with our students, which is a rise from limited possibilities and a singleparent home to his present stature. He is an excellent example of what one can do with ability, focus, integrity, and commitment. I would like to invite you to join us at 7:00 a.m. for our Masses (Tuesday – Friday) or Communion Service (Mondays and PLC days). What a wonderful way to begin a day – with your child, with God, and in prayer with believers. Perhaps you could make it once a month? Perhaps try for once a week during Advent? Come when you can, please! Our Chapel is located on the main floor of Father Kelly Hall, between the Principal’s Office and the Business Office.

I would like to be able to give positive credit to our students, but if it is a non-school activity, you are my only source for this information. Such activites may include Scouts, parish activities, serving at Mass regularly, clubs, and many more. My email address is dworland@cathedral-irish.org. Remember, do not just hit “reply” to this email, or your news will go into a digital holding tank and not directly to me. Parents, would you and your teens or you and another couple families like to help decorate the school for Advent/Christmas. I do have two families who have responded, but need some other workers. This would involve ladders and some physical labor, but could also be a great deal of fun. The Arthur family, who used to do this, will send one member to explain what has to be done. This group will be meeting on Sunday, November 28th at 2:00 p.m. on Campus. Please email me at dworland@cathedral-irish.org to let me know if you are coming.

Please contact: Kathleen Miller@ 317.257.3051 Barbara Hasbrook@ 317.848.9590 From Abdul’s blog: I am in the unique position of being someone who is an opinion writer, but uses traditional journalism techniques to gather information. Yes, I do have an agenda. That agenda usually includes promoting economic growth, quality education, personal freedom and law and order. And I see the world through that filter. Now I am not so narcissistic so as not to acknowledge other points of view. If I did, I’d simply never take a phone call on the morning show and turn the comment section off on this blog and that would be the end of the discussion. ~~~~~ 5 I realize that you have heard about ISACS (Independent Schools of the Central States), one of our accrediting agencies, in recent emails. If you would like to know more about ISACS, here is some information. ACCREDITATION ISACS accreditation: Certifies that a school is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and operates sufficiently independent of all other organizations to determine its own mission and program. Validates that the school has met more than fifty standards of best practice for independent education. Confirms that the school subscribes to principles of good practice in admissions and employment. Requires that the school undergo a financial audit on a periodic basis and respond to any recommendations by the auditors. Requires a survey of the school’s constituencies be undertaken as part of the accreditation process. Attests that the school has a fully developed and disclosed mission and philosophy of education, and that its programs are in congruence with that philosophy. Requires that the school undergo a comprehensive, rigorous and thorough process of school improvement every seven years involving broad participation of school personnel, the board of trustees, and major constituencies. Requires this process to go beyond checklists and ratings of standards to narrative (where have we been, where are we, where are we going) and analysis (what are our issues and what are our plans to meet them) in all areas of the school. Every seven years, the ISACS self-study and external review process covers all major aspects and programs of the school, citing strengths, challenges faced, and recommendations for improvement. As part of the accreditation cycle, the school completes a comprehensive self-study and other tasks which are then reviewed by a visiting team. The visiting team is comprised of volunteers put together by ISACS, consisting of professionals, including classroom teachers, who understand and appreciate independent school qualities and contributions to American education. Accreditation is approved (or not) by the ISACS Board of Trustees based on the visiting team’s and ISACS Evaluation Review Committee’s recommendation and findings.

It has come to my attention lately that some of our newer parents are not familiar with our school campus, so when directed to one room or another, they are left confused. To alleviate this, I have attached maps of the Cathedral campus to the last six pages of this email. Feel free to check them out, or to run them off, if you wish.

Aernst@cathedral-irish.org Want to help support our military? This time of year is very difficult for our young, deployed men and women who are away from their families for the holidays. One of our own, Jamison Lupo '02,is on an 8month deployment. The morale can get very low with the exhausting schedule they keep on top of being away from loved ones for such long periods of time. Team Peace will be selling "peace" bracelets during the lunch periods starting Friday, November 19th. All of the proceeds will go to providing care packages to the 20 sailors who are under our Jamie's command. They run the nuclear reactor which powers the USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier. We would love to raise enough money to send each of these sailors a care package for Christmas. By purchasing a bracelet, you can help us with this task and perhaps it can be a visual reminder for you to pray for these young men and women and also for Peace. The prices will range from $15-$25....donations are also appreciated.

As a result of an increasing number of studies that have revealed that concussions, not properly treated, can 8 result in permanent mental difficulties. The data also suggests that concussions can lead to the development of dementia earlier than expected and has led to mandates by the National Federation of High Schools(NFHS), NCAA and the NFL. The NFHS mandated rule states “Effective with the 2010 high school season, any player who shows signs, symptoms or behaviors associated with a concussion must be removed from the game and shall not return to play until cleared by an appropriate health-care professional”. Recovery from a concussion requires limitation of physical activity, especially sports activity such as practice, drills, games, and at times even physical education classes. In significantly symptomatic athletes, mental activity should also be limited to allow the brain to heal. These activities may include limiting assignments, allowing greater time to complete quizzes and tests or assignments and less homework. Such activities as watching TV, texting, and video games may also slow the recovery from the concussion. Neurocognitive testing such as the ImPACT test is a computerized test that documents the athlete’s cognitive and speed skills. The test has been validated as an accurate measure of brain function recovery following a sports concussion. All athletes should have a baseline test before practice or competition, and should an athlete sustain a concussion, a repeat test can be performed and compared to the baseline test. This can help show the degree of injury and help measure when recovery has occurred. Cathedral High School has implemented ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) for our student athletes. Before the concussed athlete can return to action, the most current standard of care of the sports concussion includes the following: (1) the athlete must be asymptomatic at rest; (2) a neurocognitive test such as the ImPACT test must have returned to baseline; and (3) the athlete must be asymptomatic with activity. This evaluation should be done by a physician trained in the treatment and management of concussions. Utilizing the above standards, as well as experience and judgment, this physician will be able to determine when the athlete has completely recovered from the concussion. The Cathedral High School Administration, coaches, and medical staff are striving to keep your child’s health and safety at the forefront of the student athletic experience. If you have any questions regarding concussion management, please feel free to contact Mike Hunker at 968-7361.

It cannot be filed until after January 1 but there are some preliminary things you can do. First, realize that it is only available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov They used to make paper copies and we could put one in the senior mailboxes but they don’t produce those anymore. Secondly, you (and your student) will need a pin number that you will use to sign your FAFSA. This can be obtained now at the above mentioned website under Step One. Each state has their own deadline for FAFSA submission so you’ll want to pay close attention to that. For anyone that will attend a college in Indiana the due date is March 10, 2011. If you need assistance in filling out the FAFSA there is a “help day” called College Goal Sunday (www.collegegoalsunday.org). This is being held on Sunday February 20th. It offers free help from a financial aid expert who will sit down with you and help you complete the form that day. If you go to the website it will show you the locations in the Indianapolis area. Lastly, those who have attended the National Center for College Costs seminar have the services of Dave Murray, 877-687-7291 or info@collegecosts.com. Please feel free to contact him with any detailed questions you may have regarding financial aid. Students should actively be looking for scholarships at this time as well. Although our PrepHQ/ConnectEdu website is still being transformed the Scholarship section is up and running with over 6,000 listings. Go to ConnectEdu at www.connectedu.net/?hs=cathedral. Under the “Paying for College” section go to Search for Scholarships. Another good source which we also recommend to students is Fastweb,( www.fastweb.com) .This is the largest, free scholarship search on the web. The majority of my students have completed at least one or more college applications at this point. For those who haven’t and those who are still going to complete applications, they should shoot for having them done by Thanksgiving. A reminder that any students who have applications with December 1 deadlines, and I need to 13 write recommendation letters for, need to turn in their Application Checklist sheets to me by next Wednesday, November 10th. Thanks for all your support and help in working with your students in the college process. This class has been on top of things from day one and have really followed the guidelines to help us get their materials out in a timely manner. Mike Mike Jaskoski Director of Guidance and College Advising Co-Chairman, Indianapolis National College Fair Cathedral High School (317) 968-7318 Until the new "Connect!"(formerly known as PrepHQ) website is fully functional, please use the following link to view scholarships that have been sent to the Cathedral Guidance Department. Once the new "Connect!" is ready for full use by our students, we will return to that platform to convey opportunities to you. http://www.cathedral-irish.org/page.cfm?p=1303 The link also provides other scholarship search engines that you might find helpful.

I, the Lord, will be their God.” Ez 34:11, 23-24. This scripture reminds us that our core being rests in God. And, as such, it is our call to serve our fellow mankind, as we are all sheep in God’s care.

Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (11-15-10) - Property of Billy Shepherd Sports Inc. and provided by the NFHS Are you a victim of bullying or do you know anyone that is a victim? Hopefully you aren't the culprit. Bullying should never be tolerated and should be reported to the proper authorities immediately. Whether it occurs in the classroom, athletic arena, or away from school, it's your duty as a student-athlete to report this to a superior at your school. Whether it involves you or someone you know, please don't hesitate to "do the right thing". There is no place for bullying so take the initiative and refuse to be a part of it. For more on the student-athlete go to www.askbillyshep.com and www.nfhs.org. Smart Quote: Do those served grow as persons?

Meditation: Revelation 4:1-11 “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty!” (Revelation 4:8) How amazing heaven must be! In today’s first reading, we get only a glimpse of its glory—and a secondhand glimpse at that—and still our hearts thrill. Imagine the throne of God, the twenty-four elders, the four living creatures, the flashes of lightning and peals of thunder. Just try to wrap your mind around the throne of God where, all day and night, an unending stream of worship, adoration, and praise rises up to the Father. And what makes this even more amazing is that all this is going on right now, even as the world continues to spin, as nations rise and fall, as armies amass, and as families the world over experience the ups and downs of life. Keeping this heavenly reality in our minds can help us find the right balance as we go through our days. Remember: One day, you too will stand before the throne of God. He who has known you from all time will not just sit there unmoved, either. He will rejoice over you! Even now, God finds great joy in you. He delights in your faith, even as he sees the pockets of unbelief. He rejoices over your courage, your compassion, and your love, even as he sees your struggles with temptation. He enjoys touching your heart, helping you grow in holiness, and giving you a taste of heaven right now. All because he loves you. There is so much we don’t understand about God or heaven. Words alone could never capture divine reality—not even the words of the Bible. But there is one thing we can be sure of: God’s love for each and every one of us is firm. It is unchanging. It is foundational to who we are and what we can become. Every hope and dream, every desire and longing, every purpose and goal in our lives finds its ultimate fulfillment in God and in the home he has prepared for us. So lift up your heart today, no matter what your situation is! Your Father has a perfect plan for you. He rejoices in you now, and he can’t wait for the day when you will finally see him face to face! “Thank you, Father, for your boundless love! As I walk through this day, help me to keep you and your heavenly home in the forefront of my mind.” Blessings, Principal Cathedral High School dworland@cathedral-irish.org Please note that our maps of the campus are shown, beginning on the next page. 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
