6 | December 5, 2019 | 22nd century media education guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com Cardinal Joseph Bernardin a twicerecognized National Blue Ribbon School As the 2019-2020 school year began, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Catholic School opened its doors as a twicerecognized National Blue Ribbon High Performing School of Excellence. In 2018, we were one of seven schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago and one of 49 across the nation to receive this prestigious award. What makes it even more special is that this was the second time CJB has been named a Blue Ribbon School. The honor of achieving Blue Ribbon designation status, not once, but twice, reinforces the academic excellence and quality Catholic education provides to students and their families. Our year has been busy while students, staff and families continue to share their time, talent and treasure. Our Family School Association has provided numerous opportunities for our families to get together and celebrate the CJB community. We’ve attended weekly liturgies. CJB celebrated Veterans Day with many veterans who shared stories and celebrated Mass with us and we were honored to present Bremen VFW Post 2791 with a check from a fundraiser. CJB hosted a parent technology safety presentation, collected over a ton of food for our Thanksgiving Food Drive benefitting the Orland Township Food Pantry and continue to volunteer at Shepherds Table. We made blankets for the Ronald McDonald House, fundraised and collected items for M&M Acres, PADS, The Care Kit Foundation, Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos and Lurie Children’s Hospital. Each month, CJB families donate needed items and make over 400 sandwiches for Port Ministries. Our volleyball, soccer and basketball teams continue to do well. Our cross country team finished the year strong with a member qualifying and competing at state. We offer Suzuki Violin Lessons, IESA Chess Club and our Drama Club is currently rehearsing “Disney Frozen Jr.” We do all this while achieving excellent academic success. Additionally, we finalized a formal relationship with the ASPIRE Organization whose mission is to work with schools who want to convey the message, “All Are Welcome.” CJB is proud to say we are a school whose message is “Choose to Include.” CJB offers Spanish, fine arts programs and physical education for pre-k through eighth grade. We have a library/media center for student broadcasts and media productions, an extended day program, hot lunch program, extra-curricular activities, a six-sport athletic program, cheerleading, and a full-time nurse. Since our opening in September of 2000, we have graduated over 1,000 students. Our school administration and instructional staff take pride in the fact that, on average, one-third of our graduates are named Illinois State Scholars in high school. Thirteen CJB Alumni have been named high school Valedictorian or Salutatorian since 2007 and three of our Alumni have obtained perfect scores on their ACTs. We’ve been busy like most schools, but the difference is that, here, every day begins in prayer together. We are reminded to be thankful for all God’s gifts and to treat everyone with respect and kindness. We live and promote the Gospel message of love for our neighbors and each other. These accomplishments do not come without the hard work and dedication of the entire CJB staff and our families that are committed to our students and to our ministry of teaching and education. Check us out at our open house on Jan. 26 from 1-3 p.m. We guarantee no one will be disappointed. Submitted by Cardinal Bernardin Catholic School, 9250 W. 167th St. in Orland Hills.
