Two St. Henry students, Noah Francis (class of 2022) and Faith McNamara (class of 2023), recently completed the prestigious M.O.O.N. program at St. Elizabeth Healthcare. Created by General Surgeon Dr. Ryan Moon, this five-day program introduces teens to the world of healthcare by observing a physician’s day-to-day life. Over 50 St. Elizabeth practitioners allow participants to shadow in practice offices, in inpatient units, and the operating room. Noah and Faith were two of only twenty students selected from a highly competitive pool of applicants from five counties in the Tri-State. Congratulations, Noah and Faith!

Crusaders of the Week
Mr. Denning and Mrs. Shea nominated Ian Schneidt for Global and Digital Citizenship Crusader of the Week. Ian participates constantly in class, whether offering to answer questions or asking for clarification. He is ready for whatever is coming in a class that shifts focus frequently and has a positive attitude. His involvement in class makes the period better, and all the teachers of the class look forward to the rest of the year. Congratulations Ian! For AP Literature, any number of students deserve the Crusader of the Week for various reasons; however, this student has shown tremendous growth in her writing and focus since last year. The Crusader of the Week for AP Literature is Chilota Iloegbunam. Even though school has only been in session for three weeks, Chilota has worked to improve her understanding of the content and the quality of her essays. Her bubbly personality brings energy to the class daily, and she is a pleasure to teach. Congratulations, Chilota! Keep up the hard work! |

Academic Showcase
Junior Religion classes enjoyed playing a game of red light/green light, using a stop sign during a lesson on sacraments. While signs tell one what to do, they do not empower one to accomplish the action. Sacraments, however, are efficacious signs of an invisible grace, providing the means and the grace to actually do what they signify. |
