Academic Showcase
Spooky Grammer Fun! Students in Mrs. Gonzalez's English III class spent time playing a grammar-based Halloween game last Friday. After correctly identifying the Halloween-themed "grammar fail" on each card, students earned the right to roll the die and advance around the board. The first person to the witch's cauldron won! Special thanks to the "game masters" who kept the game running smoothly for each group.
Drama 2 and Drama 3 students getting hands-on experience helping build a stock scenery piece in the SHDHS Scene Shop with special guest Dr. Kappes. As Drama 3 entered the technical theatre unit, students helped prepare the frame for a moveable wall that will be used in upcoming SHDHS stage productions. |

Campus MinistryA note from our Campus Minister Retreats. I have led and attended hundreds of retreats over the past 35 years as a youth minister, retreat director, and teacher. Having experienced many different styles of retreats, I have grown from each one of them. Surprisingly, the army definition of “Retreat!” is my favorite short explanation of what a retreat is and what to expect.. The military word or command to “Retreat!!!” doesn’t ask the troops to give up, give in, or surrender to the enemy. It calls them to fall back to a safe place, to regroup, reorganize, rest, and wait for new orders. The bonus of a Catholic retreat is that we leave society behind, briefly along with its worldview, to regroup, rest, and focus on Christ. This is a much more favorable environment to hear God’s invitation to encounter grace, mercy, and love. Please pray for the Seniors for the next few weeks as they attend their senior retreat on Nov. 16-18. Utilize the following link to indicate a specific prayer for them. Your prayer offerings will be gathered and shared with them as a gift they will see from the Crusader School Family. Please share this opportunity with others. Standing Firm in Faith and United in Prayer, Angie Poat, Campus Minister

CRU Bits
The current building (Scheben Dr.) was supposed to have a grotto (in the area near the current picnic tables) and a statue of a crusader, which was planned to be built in the middle of the current circle. From the grotto, the sword of the crusader would point to the cross that hangs on the facade of the current building. While that grotto was never built, construction on our NEW grotto (the last phase of the "Building on Excellence, Guided by Faith" campaign) is scheduled to begin in Spring 2022. If you have CRU Bits you would like to share, please email Nicole Gonzalez at [email protected]. |
