Using your Noodle from a student's perspective.
I learned how much effective communication depends on clarity, teamwork, and staying adaptable under pressure. Moving a ball across the room with only pool noodles forced us to slow down, listen carefully, and give simple, precise instructions. It also highlighted how quickly things can fall apart when messages get mixed or when someone assumes others understand their plan. By the end, we were coordinating our movements, checking in with each other, and adjusting our strategy in real time — a reminder that good communication is less about talking and more about making sure everyone is truly aligned.

CRUSADER OF THE WEEK

Mrs. Campbell nominated Freshman Brooklyn Kuebler for Crusader of the Week in Biology.

"Brooklyn comes to class with a positive attitude every day, gives her best effort, and supports others in both labwork and classwork. She is also the designated “Birthday Song” leader, as her teacher cannot carry a tune when we sing to those celebrating birthdays in our class. When she knows she will be absent, she is proactive in completing a quiz, taking a test, or gathering the needed worksheets. Her engaging personality and strong work ethic will provide a foundation for success at St. Henry and beyond. Congratulations, Brooklyn!"

Mrs. Vieth nominated Sophomore Hope Gilreath for Crusader of the Week in Geometry.

"Hope always comes to class prepared and ready to learn with a smile on her face. She doesn't back down when the material gets tough. She asks meaningful questions and shows true Cru-grit in her determination to succeed. What I admire most about Hope is how willing she is to help her fellow classmates. When her classmates struggle, she is patient and kind- not only helping them with the assignment but reviewing and explaining the concepts so they can be successful in the class. She is a valued member of our class, and I thoroughly enjoy having her as a student."
