WASHINGTON, D.C.—As a senior in high school, Natalie Eberwein faces a popular culture that doesn’t embrace life. It started before she even got to the March for Life in the nation’s capital. First, she dealt with her boss, openly pro-choice, who tried to get her to change her mind about her pro-life stance. “She wasn’t too happy I was taking off work for it,” said Natalie, a member of Sacred Heart Parish in Terre Haute.

“She keeps nagging me about it, but I Vechio Del Jennifer Photo by say what I believe in and try to tell her Teen-agers from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis get ready to walk down Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. for the annual March for Life on Jan. 22. pro-choice doesn’t work.” Then it came in the form of counter protests while in Washington, D.C.

Consumer Healthcare Research TheCriterion CATHOLIC SCHOOLS SUPPLEMENT Catholic schools are something to celebrate

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:

his week, the Church in the United States sets aside time to Tcelebrate Catholic schools. And we have much to celebrate! In a very real way, our Catholic schools owe their existence Supplement to Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, a widow with five children who founded the American Sisters of Charity and in 1808 opened a school for girls in Baltimore. This was the beginning of what would become the Catholic school “system” in the U.S. It is interesting to note that Mother Seton’s educational phi- losophy was based on the belief that one must educate the whole child—mind, heart, soul and body. In her schools, she insisted on six simple but required points: • the need of a practical plan for Christian education • a sense of order and discipline • responsibility and accountability • respect for learning itself • professionalism • a commitment to the students that extends beyond the classroom. Dear Readers, This is certainly an educational approach that we immediately recognize as distinc- tive of Catholic education today.

A feasibility study is also being done to determine how to raise the $5 million in matching funds. † St. Vincent program offers incentives for good grades

By Jennifer Del Vechio

A new incentive program for Catholic schools ended with 5,928 students participating. St. Vincent Children’s Specialty Hospital began A Champion Effort, or ACE, to reward students who earn an A in any academic area. Students who earned A’s received vouchers for free pizza from Papa John’s and admission to the Indianapolis This Ad Is Zoo and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. ‘It’s a good way for the kids to Camera Ready! learn how to keep track of their own grades. They have to figure out if they are an A student, and that makes St. Vincent Hospital them take responsibility.’ 1654 While the level of participation varied at each school, 4x12 organizers said the program “exceeded their expecta- tions.” Tara Green, who teaches mathematics and history at Camera Ready Paper St. Mark School in Indianapolis, said the program made students realize the others care about their grades. “The students were excited that someone else took an interest in their academic excellence, and surprised some- one would offer prizes for doing well in school,” Green said. Kelly Schenher, a fourth-grade teacher at St. Philip Neri School in Indianapolis, said the program has helped teach students responsibility. “It’s a good way for the kids to learn how to keep track of their own grades,” Schenher said. “They have to figure out if they are an A student, and that makes them take responsibility.” At least 36 schools in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the Lafayette Diocese participated in ACE. St. Vincent Hospital hopes to continue the program and expand it, said Emile Godfrey, director of corporate communications. “I think this put emphasis on something that was unique in some ways,” he said. “There are a lot of pro- grams around attendance, but not much lately around shooting higher for achievement.” †
