Justice Week On April 29, 2014, the CDH Jus- tice Week committee handed a check for more than $2,800 to Lindsay Miesbauer ‘99 of Washburn Center for Children. This year’s topic, Men- tal Health, brought in more than 25 speakers on various justice issues con- nected to mental health. The money raised will be used directly for the Washburn’s new Welcome Center. Washburn serves children with mul- tiple mental health issues, many of whom cannot afford care elsewhere.

6 Relay for Life Cretin-Derham Hall students have maintained a strong tradition of participa- tion in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event. After years of relaying at the Highland Park track, CDH was given the opportunity to host its own Relay event at school. This year, at the 2nd annual Relay for Life event, participants managed to raise about $4,500 for the American Cancer So- ciety, which uses the money they receive for many different purposes, including provid- ing programs for survivors and families, as well as for research to find a cure for cancer. Each year, the American Cancer Society in- vests $130 million dollars in cancer research! At the 2014 Relay for Life event, students stayed up all night in the Field House from 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 9, until 6:00 a.m. Danny Greenheck (l) and Kevin Hartman take their turns at the Giant Jenga tower. on Saturday, May 10.

CDH students were joined with a group of students from Benilde-St. Mar- garet’s, who enthusiastically joined in and managed to be one of the top two fundrais- ing teams. I have co-chaired this event with seniors Rachel Oberst and Bridget Mountain. The junior co-chairs this year, who will be tak- ing over next year, are Margo Udelhoven, Suriya Thompson, Abby Rottjakob, Lexie Erickson, and Madge Harrington. The Relay for Life is a great way for our community to come together to try and fin- ish the fight against cancer. Thank you to all who participated or donated! And we hope to see you at next year’s Relay for Life!

While the issues they explored started out on a mammoth scale, the students eventually narrowed down their projects to the local level. In May, they presented to a panel of faculty, parents, and outside professionals on their selected social justice issues and their action plans to help resolve those issues. The following is a sampling of the topics and the students’ action plans:

• Summer hunger for low-income students who get free lunches during the school year: Produced and distributed brochures at Twin City area rec centers with information about free lunches during the summer for low-income stu- dents under age 18. • Trafficking of girls in Minnesota: Worked with Breaking Free to collect toiletries. • Invasive species in Minnesota lakes and rivers: Took a DNR Self-Defense Training training course to become a certified boat inspector.

We are so proud of these students. They used a variety of skills to prepare them for the future and to embody Catholic Social Teachings.
