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 />

Mariesha Cruz-San Nicolas ‘93, along with<br />

Theology instructor and 2002 NDHS graduate<br />

Hawley Iseke, connected with other SSND<br />

schools at the Revitalizing Secondary Education<br />

Network (SEN) Conference in Baltimore,<br />

Maryland.<br />

As we move into SY <strong>2012</strong>-2013, <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong><br />

prepares for its upcoming Board of Directors<br />

Installation. The <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> family welcomes<br />

the new nominees and the talent and experience<br />

that their diverse backgrounds will add to<br />

<strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong>’s growing and global community.<br />

Let’s stay connected and share our experiences<br />

as Globally Concerned Royals in the<br />

upcoming year!<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 />

Shirae Fejeran shared a personal<br />

testimony about her father<br />

who died in the line of duty.<br />

<strong>Dame</strong> alumna, Mariana Roth ‘03.<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 />
