Dear Cathedral Parents,

I would like to welcome all parents of the Class of 2015, who are receiving this email for the first time. If you receive this email but have a friend who did not, please ask them to check their spam box. Often, unless told otherwise, a computer will automatically send a document of this length to the spam box. For new parents, these emails are sent out each Wednesday afternoon or evening of the school year to help you remain in touch with events here at Cathedral. . To help you with this process, once you are reading these parent emails regularly, new information is printed in red; older information is printed in black. Regular readers just “read the red!” . However, in addition to reading this, please also be sure to read your Insight Digital publication (link is given below) each month, also.

Parents, please note that we have added a PLC schedule for Thursday, May 5th, so we can meet and greet our Holy Cross Visitation Team. School will begin at 8:05 a.m. on that day.

New Project: Used Uniform Clothing Sale The Mother’s Club is beginning a Used Uniform Clothing Sale to aid some of our students. It will be held as part of the used book sale on May 26th and 27th. If your child has uniform shirts, pants, or sweatshirts that you will not be using again and are gently used, please drop them off with Mr. Greer before the final exams. These can be a big help to families of other students in the future. Questions? Please call Marci Taylor at 416-8261.

Hey Seniors!

7 “No more school, No more books…” Now what to do with your uniforms? We’ve got a solution: Let your underclassmen and women use them. If you’ve got gently used uniforms (no frayed pants or shirts with stains) you can drop them off in a box at the front office to be resold during the used book sale.

Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, don’t feel left out!! You too can turn in uniforms that no longer fit you for others to purchase. Used Uniforms will be sold Thursday May 26th and Friday May 27th in the cafeteria in conjunction with the used book sale.

STUDENT / ATHLETE PARTICIPATION

Effective immediately, advocated by Methodist Sports Medicine/IU Health, the sports medicine provider for Cathedral Athletics, we will be adopting a new policy with regard to the timing of the completion/on file in Athletic Office of the IHSAA Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (annually) and HIPAA (one time for four years) forms. The attached document outlines the new policy.

Summary: Before any CHS student/athlete can participate in any preseason conditioning session, weight training, tryouts or any physical activity associated with Cathedral Athletics, they must have both forms on file with Maureen Sullivan in the Athletic Office. For the safety of the athlete and to help relieve personal liability, coaches should not allow any athlete to participate in any physical activity associated with their sport at any time.

The basic premise behind the “moving up” of the timing of this process is it just makes sense to have the kids medically checked out BEFORE they begin any strenuous physical activity associated with sports at Cathedral High School and not wait until the beginning of the actual designated season. It also allows for some lead time, if a previously unknown/undiagnosed medical condition does exist, to help eliminate the risk of physical participation and begin the course of treatment for the condition, to get them ‘back playing’ as soon as possible.

REQUIRED ATHLETIC MEDICAL PHYSICALS Any Cathedral High School student/athlete, who wishes to participate in any preseason, summer conditioning/weights/camps or authorized practices for any sport MUST have a completed an annual IHSAA Preparticipation Physical Evaluation Form and a HIPAA Form (one time for four years) on file in the Athletic Office (Mrs. Maureen Sullivan) before being eligible to participate. Physicals for the 2011-2012 school year (including summer) must be completed after May 1, 2011 . All Cathedral High School student/athletes, who will be trying out for any sport, MUST have the following forms:  IHSAA Physical Form  HIPAA Form

8 These forms are available in the CHS Athletic Office or on the school website (www.cathedral-irish.org) under “ATHLETICS” and drop-down entitled ‘Forms’. (Transfer students to Cathedral, who intend on participating in an IHSAA sanctioned sport, must file an IHSAA ATHLETIC TRANSFER REPORT, to apply for eligibility to participate in an IHSAA sanctioned athletic contest. Forms are available from Mr. Jim McLinn, Director of Athletics, in the Athletic Office.) Once student/athletes have turned in all forms, they will be permitted to participate in all athletic conditioning activities. Coaches may not allow a student to participate before all forms are on file in the Athletic Office.

Service Outreach News: The spirit of our service will be guided by Matt 25:35-36: “I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you gave to shelter. I was ill and you came to see me.” One religious writer, Mother Elvira Petrozzi, shares that Easter is the “feast of the running feet.” Believers arrived at the tomb tired and sad and they leave running! As the people of God, we bring the joy of salvation to everyone. This joy is shared in our service work. Thank you for your sincere actions of serving and sharing joy, often brought in “running” enthusiasm.

17 Class Service Projects We share the united gift of compassion and love with our brothers and sisters through our specific Cathedral projects. Another USO trip is planned for Saturday, May 7 to Camp Atterbury. On Wednesday, May 11, our sophomores will cook and serve a spaghetti dinner at Anna’s House for the local families who are being supported in their ESL classes and other development in their community. On May 14, we will serve lunch at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen. These May projects are on-going expressions of ministry and giving. Details on all of these class service projects are noted below in Service Opportunities.

Youth As Resources Grants: Students from Cathedral High School have successfully been awarded the following Youth As Resources grants from United Way totaling $3,525:

Grant Description Students Earning Grants Amounts Building Better Bonds With Students And Disabilities Teresa Schrader $763 Meaghan Searight Express Yourself Mentoring Magic Field Day IPS 106 Olivia Price $1,624 Grace Waltz Oaks Academy Neil Perry $1,138

Each of these grants will be used to support service outreach that these students are undertaking, either through a new organization called Best Buddies starting up in the new future, continuing IPS mentoring relationships and leadership, or a service project with the library at Oaks Academy next fall. Congratulations are warmly extended to all of these students for their initiative and leadership. More than $6,000 has been earned by students for service-related grants this year. Service Dinner On May 3, we will gather to celebrate wonderful service projects and actions which have been accomplished by students this year. Our dinner will take place at 6:30 PM in the SLC; join us for a special evening of salute to our Cathedral service. Email Mrs. Halstead with your RSVP.

Should you desire to pursue an outreach project with an agency not listed, you may also consult the list of service agencies available by clicking here. By working with diligence and interest on your service, you should find yourself achieving about four hours of service each month.

Service Reflection They say it takes a minute to serve a special person, An hour to appreciate them, A day to love them, But then an entire life to forget them.

May your Cathedral service personally enrich you and your spirituality, as we seek to address challenges faced by our brothers and sisters in our immediate community and world-wide.

Please check the service criteria because neighbor help, family help and working for a business without pay is not accepted as service hours. We always encourage our students to help their families and neighbors but we do not accept these efforts as service hours. We seek to perform our service in the spirit of Matthew 25:35-36.

College Information: 26 We mentioned to you in August the Senior Survey where you record any merit scholarships you were offered and list your college of attendance. This information is used for the graduation program and other Cathedral publications. It is now available for you in your senior mailboxes, a copy is attached here as well, and it is on the CHS website as well. Completing the survey is REQUIRED. If we don’t get a survey your information cannot be included in the graduation program.

We realize that some of you have not made your decisions yet or heard back on all scholarships. This is to get you started and give those who do know their decisions to get this completed. We will ask that all surveys are turned in to your college advisor by April 15 th . This gives us time to organize the information and get it to the printer. Thanks in advance for your cooperation, and please see your college advisor if you have any questions.

Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (4-18-11) - Property of Billy Shepherd Sports Inc. and presented by the NFHS Some days in the classroom and on the playing field the student-athlete has a lot of information thrown at them and they may have trouble dissecting it all. I'm sure this has happened to you.  If you don't understand a problem in math class or a new play being explained by your coach, ask questions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having your teacher go over something again that you don't understand, and same with a coach. 29  It's better to be sure now, rather than wait until test day or game day, and not know the routine! For more on the student-athlete go to www.askbillyshep.com and www.nfhs.org.

Meditation: Luke 24:13-35

31 “Their eyes were opened.” (Luke 24:31) There’s a well-known optical illusion of two women: One is young and pretty, the other old and haggard. If you’re familiar with this picture, you know that it’s impossible to see the two women at once. Most of us, if we stare long enough, will eventually see one portrait dissolve and the other emerge. But some people can process the image only one way. Though the visual data is right before them, they can’t see more than the girl or the crone. In a way, the Emmaus disciples were like that—unable to process the data and see the whole picture. There they were, trudging along and mournfully reviewing the events of the last three days. When a stranger asked what they were discussing, they spoke of Jesus as a prophet, described his death, and reported on the puzzling empty tomb (Luke 24:19-24). They had the signs, the fulfilled prophecies, even the story of women seeing angels. They even had Jesus himself as their traveling companion! But they still couldn’t process the events into a picture that made sense. Jesus enlightened them in two stages. First, he walked them through “all the scriptures” to show how every prophecy had been fulfilled in him. What a Bible study that must have been! And yet, these disciples needed even more. At day’s end, their hearts were burning, but their vision remained cloudy. Only at table were their eyes finally opened. Only then could they see Jesus present in the word as well as in the breaking of the bread. We, too, need the same double witness. Pope Benedict XVI tells us: “Word and Eucharist are so deeply bound together that we cannot understand one without the other… . The Eucharist opens us up to an understanding of Scripture, just as Scripture for its part illumines and explains the mystery of the Eucharist” (Verbum Domini, 55). How blessed we are that every Mass is an opportunity to receive Jesus in Word and in Eucharist! Let’s take advantage of it often and ask him to enlighten our minds and capture our hearts. Then, like our Emmaus brothers, we will be eager bearers of his great good news. “Lord Jesus, what return can I make for your goodness to me? Take and receive everything I am and have. Only let me see and serve you more and more.”
