Letter from the Editor<br />
<strong>School</strong> Year 2011-<br />
<strong>2012</strong> was a productive<br />
and busy year<br />
for Royals! This issue<br />
of our alumni<br />
newsletter captures<br />
events from the past<br />
school year, and<br />
touches on the<br />
theme of being Globally<br />
Concerned. As<br />
one of the tenets of our ESLRs, Globally Concerned<br />
Royals strive to:<br />
Model human connectedness through<br />
a commitment to the environment,<br />
social justice, and peace;<br />
Exhibit a sense of social responsibility<br />
guided by compassion, confidence,<br />
and integrity; and<br />
Take responsibility for one’s actions<br />
and the welfare of others.<br />
Last September, the International Shalom Coordinator<br />
for the <strong>School</strong> Sisters of <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong><br />
visited NDHS during the International Day of<br />
Peace and shared inspirational words and experiences<br />
with students and staff members. A<br />
month later, our principal and fellow alumna,<br />

Theology instructor and 2002 NDHS graduate<br />
Hawley Iseke, connected with other SSND<br />
schools at the Revitalizing Secondary Education<br />

Students Commemorate the International Day<br />
of Peace<br />
By Jessica Perez‐Jackson ‘96, Development Director<br />
In preparation for last year’s International Day of Peace, <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> received<br />
a special visitor on Thursday, September 15, 2011. Sister Roxanne<br />
Schares, the International Shalom Coordinator for the <strong>School</strong> Sisters of<br />
<strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong>, spoke with students about the mission of the Shalom International<br />
Network. Sister Roxanne, who is currently based in Rome, Italy, explained<br />
the commitment that Shalom makes to the global community by<br />
“being an instrument of hope, formation, and action for authentic living of<br />
solidarity.” Sister Roxanne also encouraged students to be active participants<br />
in their community because it is not only a requirement of our faith,<br />
but also because as individuals, “our voice makes a difference; each one of<br />
us makes a difference – especially when we join together.” According to<br />
Sister Roxanne, “action on behalf of justice is integral to living the gospel.”<br />
As the International Shalom Coordinator, S. Roxanne works for justice,<br />
peace, and the integrity of creation around the globe, and she encourages<br />
and motivates people and communities to take action and be a part of the<br />
solution toward a “positive systemic change in society.”<br />

Following Sister Roxanne’s visit, on Thursday, September 22, 2011, in commemoration of the International<br />
Day of Peace, the <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> community held a Shalom Peace Prayer Service that began the<br />
day’s activities. Students gathered in the gymnasium for the prayer service as images of 9/11 were<br />
displayed from an overhead projector. Banners with themes of peace, love and forgiveness, as well as<br />
rings of peace, which were linked together with students’ names to symbolize solidarity and harmony,<br />
were created by the Theology classes and the newly formed Shalom Club. The most significant moment<br />
of the assembly was when senior, Shirae Fejeran, spoke to her classmates, faculty, and staff,<br />
about her father who lost his life in 2006 while on deployment in the Horn of Africa. Shirae’s father<br />
served in the United States Army National Guard and died in the line of duty while protecting the peace.<br />
Shirae shared beautiful and heartfelt memories about her father, and the work he did while in Africa.<br />
Students were moved by both Sister Roxanne’s experience as well as Shirae’s personal testimony<br />
about the value and necessity of peace. Sister Roxanne’s visit and the activities of the International<br />
Day of Peace initiated the establishment of <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong>’s first Shalom Club. The Shalom Club’s advisor<br />
and <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> Theology instructor, Hawley Iseke ‘02, says that the Shalom Club of <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong><br />
strives to create awareness of the different local, national, and international issues in which peace will<br />
offer the best solution.<br />
