PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Laura Held Dear Cardinal Newman High School Community, This Trinity issue offers a wonderful perspective of the ongoing educational endeavors at Cardinal Newman. As your academic partners, we remain confident in our work striving to bring forth the many gifts and talents present in all of our young women and men.

We are thrilled to continue our challenge of providing a learning environment that fosters the development of intellect, creativity and a passion for learning. Most importantly, we know how important it is to provide a learning experience which equips our young people with the skills to live and work in an ever-changing world. The framework for this learning success hinges on our dedication for ensuring our students’ growth in their faith formation and need to have God’s unending love in their daily life.

I hope you will take the time to read and enjoy these newsworthy articles in this Trinity edition. In particular, we present to you the Annual Report for 2015-2016. I am filled with immense gratitude for over one million dollars of support from parents, alumni, alumni parents, and community members. Your generosity and loyal contributions make it possible for us to sustain the many quality curricular and co-curricular program needs. Even more exciting is to know that our Annual Fund gifts help to support the 186 students who are so deserving of tuition assistance.

I hope you will remain connected to us at Cardinal Newman as we begin to describe and launch many new endeavors which will preserve this excellent education for years to come.

I pray that God will continue to bless you and your families and all with whom you work, live and play.

Sincerely,

Laura M. Held

PRINCIPALLY SPEAKING Graham Rutherford

N

ow that the dust has settled, and the mud has dried, the 2016 election actually winds up in December with the Electoral College meetings in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our indirect final choice, made up of the names each winning candidate of a state chose in advance, will reflect the popular vote from November 8th. Though we do this every four years, over the past 227 years, there is always confusion and questions. Perhaps it speaks to how we retain and recall things we do not often do, how well we learn something the first time, and the need to reeducate ourselves, knowing where to find the information. Today’s students are quick to Google for their answers, getting results rapidly, finding out what they need, moving on to the next issue; they are used to a speed of information with notifications, news on online, and multiple available sources. Still, the pitfalls remain of how good is a source or how to detect bias in articles and opinions. Learning is still learning; the weighing of evidence necessary to evaluate, the understanding of motives behind presentation, the gaining of insight by effort to fully comprehend and deal with complexity. Our students live very much in this world, trying to grasp and arrange what they need to know. Their younger years mean they do not have as President LAURA M. HELD Principal GRAHAM RUTHERFORD Chaplain FR. MOSES BROWN

much experience as us but they have more information more easily available to them than each generation previously. How they feel about this election, what they believe the results will lead to, and how it impacts them, remains individual, yet in four years we will do it again; then they may see what they have learned.

We continued our Thanksgiving Service program with students, faculty, and staff all dedicating a time for an individual service project in lieu of being at school on the day before Thanksgiving. This project has been expanded by the involvement of parents and siblings of our students, who join in to be part of the effort.

Working together is learning together; we support each other in our common action. Many do the work that day, or on Thanksgiving itself, or on the days following unless travel or family needs prevent it. If so, the work happens the week before. In the end, most of us find that we feel fortunate to have helped others, for good reasons, and for the right reason, which is that we are called by God to be more generous, more supportive, and more loving. By helping others, we try to live up to this call. While it is easy to say we are too busy or too tired, others need us. When we are offered time to help others, we should seize it as a chance to make a difference, to be active servants. This is another step in the education of who our students will become.

PROFILE IN GIVING

PROFILE IN GIVING: NORMA PERSON, PRESIDENT, ERNEST L. AND RUTH W. FINLEY FOUNDATION Cardinal Newman has successfully completed a campaign for its first new academic building on campus-- arriving at the front drive you now see the St. Angela Merici Science Center.

T

his strikingly beautiful center gives the school two new science laboratory classrooms, one new physics classroom, space for teacher prep, outdoor native garden area and a patio for outdoor demonstration. This magnificent new 21st century learning environment is the result of the extraordinary support achieved by the school through the Ernest L. and Ruth W. Finley Foundation.

Our excitement and incredible thanks for the completion of this campaign comes as a result of working directly with Norma Person who serves as President of the Finley Foundation. Former educator, current business philanthropist and proponent for developing more opportunities for our young people, Norma made our dream of building a science center a reality.

Norma’s enthusiastic support through the generosity of the Finley Foundation is a clear example of how important advancing educational initiatives is to her philanthropic decisions. She has been eager to learn about our addition of new courses, further developing our Robotics and engineering curriculum and adding innovative learning experiences utilizing more technology.

During Norma’s teaching career she spent time at St. Rose Elementary School and Ursuline High School.

While visiting us during the different phases of the building construction and at the Blessing of the Science Center, Norma spoke about “how important it is to encourage our students to take science courses that will lead them to the depth of successful current and future career advances. There are so many wonderful possibilities today for our youth. I like the idea too, that our young women are getting to experience and understand that science, technology, engineering and math could open doors of endless work-related promise”.

Norma Person received the school’s prestigious John Henry Newman Award in 2013. Her continued love, commitment and support for Catholic education at Cardinal Newman is remembered daily as we watch our students in awe and discovering the creativity of learning in this 21st century center.

How important it is to encourage our students to take science courses.

— Norma Person, UHS ‘48 6

ADMISSIONS

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION August 16, 2016

The Class of 2020 was welcomed by the Link Crew of Cardinal Newman High School. This was a joyous occasion for the students, families, faculty and staff. The Link Crew prepared a fun program with the support and guidance of Mrs. Alice Meyer (Theology) and Mrs. Tracy Williams (Freshman Counselor). The Class of 2020 is comprised of students from over 30 middle schools.

Their character and promise made for a positive series of ice breaking exercises and discussions. We have great expectations that this class will impact our community with their talent, effort, care, and service to others.

PREVIEW DAY – CALLING ALL CARDINALS

OPEN HOUSE November 6, 2016

Over 100 families attended our annual Open House admission event on Sunday, November 6, 2016. The Parent Association, Moms’ Club, Dads’ Club, Associated Student Body, Moms in Touch, and faculty, devoted their Sunday to host a fun and informative event to families researching Cardinal Newman High School. We are especially thankful for the tireless generosity of Mrs. Carol Drake, a dear friend to Cardinal Newman. We are also grateful for the Epicurean Cafe staff, including parent Mary Chandler and head chef James Cruz, for preparing a delicious assortment of finger foods for the guests and staff.

There was Visual and Performing Arts going on for people to see, kicked off by dancers rehearsing for the upcoming show, Star Dust. In between classroom presentations, Mr. Morris Acevedo coordinated some casual light music played by students, Kabir Daniel and Miranda Allen. Mr. Acevedo also played with Antonio Heath and James Van Milligen as they rehearsed the Led Zeppelin song, Kashmir. Photography student Patrick McDermott took photos as well.

Monday, October 24, 2016

Our high school preview day event gives eighth graders the opportunity to tour Cardinal Newman, hear from current students, and engage with faculty.

This year, 236 students from schools in Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, and Marin Counties attended Preview Day. Epicurean Cafe provided lunch for our guests and student ambassadors. Over 30 Student Ambassadors embraced their role as hosts. Mrs. Carol Drake, CN alum parent, supported this event as a volunteer for the ninth year in a row. Thanks to all who participated. We look forward to learning more about the incoming Class of 2021.

TRIBAL YOUTH AMBASSADORS California Indian Museum and Cultural Center

C

Sophomore Jayden Lim with First Lady Michelle Obama

N sophomores Jayden Lim and IILayla Cordova perform community service and are members of the Tribal Youth Ambassadors (TYA) group of the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center. This group is being recognized for their important contributions to our community. TYA was initiated as a service learning project to engage Native youth in Native language documentation. It culminated in a Pomo language and multi-media arts summer camp to teach Native youth conversational Pomo language skills through digital audio and video documentation of their elders.

Jayden and Layla were invited to Los Angeles to present at the National Tribal Transportation Conference. Additionally, Jayden represented the youth group in accepting the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award from First Lady Michelle Obama. This group was 1 of 12 awardees out of 350 nominated programs across the United States. Cardinal Newman High School is proud of the work these students have done and continue to do, and we wish to congratulate them on their award.

OXFORD SCHOLARS FALL 2016

O

xford Scholars is an invitational IIprogram for seniors in the top 10% that began in 2008 to participate in a monthly seminar, work on a topic, present a paper we post on our website, and defend their thesis at a dinner that includes family members.

We designed this program to give students some practice with what they might experience at the type of challenging college they usually are interested in attending. My hope has been to promote the importance of ideas, forming opinions with evidence, and being able to explain them in person. Academic excellence should be recognized, a positive that is beyond grades; we are celebrating learning.

The Fall topic was “California Propositions for the General Election”;

CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

our dinner followed two days later on November 10th. Each of the Scholars posted their papers the day before the election on our website with their prediction of the vote. Their task was to research their topic, discover who favoured it, who opposed it, and to offer a personal conclusion based on their discovery. Sorting through the deceptive advertisements, the convoluted arguments pro and con, and the mass of information was challenging, yet they likely were more expert on their topic for this effort than most voters were who cast ballots.

Our government requires effort to understand issues and our participation to make decisions more inclusive.

These students, some who were old enough to vote, showed the benefits of preparation and research.

This year’s Oxford Scholar students are: Maranda Allen Steven Bucher Ethan Burrell Yu Chai Noel Clark Tucker Cullen Tia Goldberg Kathleen Hanley Eliana Heath Caroline Olsen Emily Pham Ashley Stewart Alexander Urasaki

STUDENT LIFE

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT CNHS For the 2016-17 school year, we have welcomed 22 international students to the Cardinal Newman community.

T

hough we have hosted students from several countries in the past, this year, all of our international students come from various regions of China. Their studies with us not only help them achieve higher levels of fluency in English and to solidify coursework in an American high school, but it also offers our own local domestic students a glimpse into one of the world’s most important growing economies and one of the world’s oldest cultures.

Our students are actively involved in Cardinal Newman but every once in a while, we help them feel a little less homesick. Recently, we celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Moon with moon cakes.

Like Thanksgiving, the Chinese gather with family members for a special meal and a dessert of moon cakes. When asked to explain what moon cakes are, the students offered that though they vary slightly from region-to-region, a moon cake is usually made with duck egg yolks and lotus seed paste.

Most of our students live with local host families who receive a stipend in exchange for a private room, three meals per day, a ride back and forth to school, and the chance to be part of an American family. This may include some support such as understanding dress code and homework directions, but for the most part, the host families provide nurturing, parental supervision, conversation practice at meals, and a chance to learn more deeply about American culture and family life.

The Chinese students are supported by the entire CN faculty and staff. The caring teachers and counselors at Cardinal Newman work closely with Assistant Principal Dr. SheriAnn Simpson, whose background is in second language learners and international students. This group checks in with students daily to ensure that their academic and social needs are being met. All international students take ESL classes with Mr. Glenn McKevitt and SheriAnn. Last year, Cardinal Newman had four Chinese students graduate and move on to college – one to Syracuse University in New York, one to the University of Illinois-Champaign Urbana, one to U.C. Davis, and another to Santa Rosa Junior College.

If you have an empty bedroom or a student moving onto college and are interested in this opportunity for your own family, contact SheriAnn Simpson, simpson@cardinalnewman.org.

Freshman Retreat

JOURNEY

T

he Freshman Class Retreat centers on the theme of pilgrimage. The students walk to nearby Cloverleaf Ranch for a day of community building.

The aim of the retreat is to help the Class of 2020 understand that their high school experience, and life itself, is a pilgrimage, a journey during which they experience the presence of God and the support of family and friends.

The students gathered at the Cardinal Newman ACC with their pilgrimage group led by the same Link Crew leaders from freshmen orientation. The Link Crew, trained by Mrs. Alice Meyer, did an outstanding job in providing the freshmen with quality group facilitation. Faculty members also joined the groups and spent time getting to know their students outside the classroom.

Senior Campus Ministry class students helped prepare the days’ activities and served as peer leaders during the retreat. Our chaplain, Fr. Moses Brown, sent the students off on their pilgrimage with a blessing.

Groups posed for photos as they began their trek through our neighbors’, the Sieberts, vineyards. Soon the freshmen reached their destination of Cloverleaf Ranch, owned by Class of 2000 UHS alumna, Shawna DeGrange.

The freshmen spent the morning enjoying the outdoors as they played games, spent time in reflection, and shared in small groups to get to know each other better. The students enjoyed lunch from Homerun Pizza, owned and operated by CN alum Del Whitehead. The retreat culminated in group presentations reflecting their retreat experience. All in all, the freshmen began their high school journey with a fun day of bonding and shared experience.

Sophomore Retreat

CALLED

T

his year our Sophomore Class Retreat took place on two consecutive Mondays (boys and girls respectively) in September at a “new to us” location, United Reform Judaism’s Camp Newman. The students enjoyed the beautiful setting and amenities.

The theme of the Sophomore Retreat centers on being called – called to holiness, called to community and called to service.

The boys’ retreat included personal reflections by Mr. Jeff Scharfen and Mr. Matt Vukicevich, high-energy activities, as well as small group discussions. The sophomore boys wrote notes of encouragement and assembled more than eighty “blessing bags” filled with small toiletries, snacks and personal items for local homeless shelters to distribute.

The girls’ retreat included a thoughtful message from Mrs. Euphrat, fun large group activities, and lots of opportunities to bond through small group discussions led by CN female staff. The sophomore girls made twenty fleece tie blankets to provide comfort to those at chemotherapy clinics and children’s hospitals.

Senior students from the senior Campus Ministry class volunteered their time to act as small group leaders and offer words of wisdom to the sophomores at both retreats. Many faculty and staff members joined the retreats and enjoyed the time getting to know their students outside the classroom. The students were truly able to take a day to be in fellowship and community, relax, play, and pray together.

ASB & HOMECOMING elected Homecoming Queen for 2016 is Natalie Codding.

The ASB student leaders planned for months to put on a successful Homecoming Dance. On Saturday, October 1, “Classic Rock” whisked our students away to fun music featuring DJ Dax, a candy table in the ACC, along with Guitar Hero and Rock Band, a photo booth, and a lounge area! An amazing time was had by all; faculty and students alike!

H

omecoming is a time for alumni to return to their school and show their spirit, reconnect with old friends and teachers, and root their team to victory! In honor of this tradition, we examined the ladies in our senior class and determined who should represent our school at the game.

The homecoming queen nominees are those young women who embody the spirit of Cardinal Newman: school spirit, a fun-loving attitude, charisma, and service. The 2016 homecoming nominees were elected through anonymous voting conducted by each student at Cardinal Newman. Congratulations to Natalie Codding, Grace Bedsole, Katy Dell’Era, Hattie Young, Jordan Karuza, Natalia Gamba, Grace Nonella, and Natalie Justice.

The princesses were accompanied by their fathers or mothers and chauffeured onto the field in classic VW Bugs during halftime of the varsity football game against Ukiah High School. The student body voted online via Survey Monkey for the Queen after the Homecoming Rally. The young woman who was

Throughout the Fall ASB will be hosting various events to help promote school camaraderie such as tailgates, rallies, and movie nights. In addition, Cardinal Newman High School will also participate in Battle of the Fans. Battle of the Fans is an effort to encourage sportsmanship from the fans at the various sporting events throughout all the NBL and SCL schools. This year we have created a Movember group of young men to compete in who can grow the best facial hair on campus; proceeds go to prostate and testicular cancer research.

At the end of October we will host our first Halloween rally! In December ASB will host a Rose City rally to promote the Rose City basketball tournament hosted at Cardinal Newman High School. We will also help promote Arts Alive! which happens in April of 2017. ASB’s final big day will be Day on the Green that happens in May – getting everyone excited for graduation and the end of another great school year.

ASB will assist in promoting dances, games, rallies, and designing spirit memorabilia (Danger Zone and 6th man shirts) – helping to keep school spirit alive year round!

COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICE LEARNING (CBSL)

T

his school year marks the 20th anniversary of the Community Based Service Learning (CBSL) Project Program. It is fitting that the 2016-17 school year started with much excitement in the area of Service Learning.

The Class of 2017 has developed service projects which address the needs of faith development, the environment, at risk youth, the elderly, education, health, animals, and more. Our students are putting their faith into action by addressing the Catholic Social Teachings and Corporal Works of Mercy. We look forward with anticipation to witness the personal growth taking shape in the lives of our senior class.

The CBSL Department is also pleased to share the news that we have added three dynamic teachers to our Service Learning Program; Mrs. Catherine Eggleston, UHS ‘02, has joined the program teaching at the Senior level in the English/CBSL Department. Mr. Eduardo Wolbert has formally joined the program at the Junior level in our English/CBSL Department. Also, Mr. Ryan Corriveau, CN ‘06, has joined our program as our Service Project Coordinator, as well as Junior- and Senior-level Theology/CBSL teacher.

After 18 years of teaching and working in the Service Learning program, Ms. Judi Greaney has retired. We thank Judi for her many years of support in helping develop and maintain the Service Learning Program at both Ursuline and Cardinal Newman High Schools.

Judi has been instrumental in helping students develop their Service Project ideas, as well as the development of many service partnerships in our community. The invaluable experience Judi has brought to our program over the years will be missed, however her efforts will be carried on in the spirit of leadership she maintained during her 18 years of work for our school community. We wish many blessings to Judi in her retirement.

Lastly, we have a wonderful example of stewardship in our local community by two students in the Class of 2017, Chris Musser-Kirby and Vaughan Sheldon. This project is exemplary of the overall commitment the Class of 2017 has in serving the needs of our community.

Congratulations to the entire class!

By serving at Committee on the Shelterless (COTS) we have been given the opportunity to benefit the well-being of those in poverty. Our service project includes two aspects. The first aspect is based on doing service in the COTS kitchen where we cook food and serve it to those who are in need. Our service work has prompted us to step out of our comfort zones by allowing us to work side by side in the kitchen with the people staying at COTS. From the countless hours we have put in, it has been very rewarding to meet new and interesting people; we have enjoyed connecting with them and hearing their stories. The experience we’ve had while doing service in the COTS kitchen has been a constant reminder that we shouldn’t take things for granted. The second aspect of our project involves giving a presentation to a local business in Petaluma in an effort to fund an underfunded program at COTS known as Rent Right. Rent Right is a rental assistance program that teaches once impoverished people to become adequate renters. So far, we’ve put a great amount of time into crafting and perfecting our presentation. The presentation date is still to be determined but we are looking forward to it. Our experience at COTS has taught us many valuable lessons that we will never forget.

he third period guitar class started early in the semester learning Christmas music in an orchestral style (guitar orchestra), which will include some electric guitar solos, along with the class performing as a whole. During the fall semester, the fourth period rock ensemble class performed a short lunchtime concert at Jake’s Place in the covered eating area. Students played music from the 70s by the Electric Light Orchestra, as well as some current popular songs. In addition, the CN musicians, as well as the dance students, performed on campus for the visiting 8th graders during the 8th Grade Preview Day. The rock ensemble class was invited by the dance students to perform at the Fall Dance Show. They played in the lobby before the show began and at intermission. Students were excited for that opportunity as the dance show is always well-attended!

The fall drama production was one of the highlights of the season. Mr. Carl Hamilton, the CN Drama Director, led students in the production of “Mrs. Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge” on November 17-19, 2016, at the Raven Theater in Healdsburg. In this departure from Dickens Christmas Carol, young Scrooge’s exclamations of “Bah, humbug!” are an undiagnosed “kind of seasonal Tourette’s Syndrome,” and The Ghost of Christmas Past is played by a sassy woman with enough attitude to portray all three spirits (which she does). She tries to show Scrooge his past, present and future in order to change him, but her magic keeps malfunctioning in Durang’s version of the beloved holiday classic,

and they consistently find themselves transported to the wrong time and place. The NY Times called this play “A wonderful parody, with a fresh and hilarious spin on the spoofed-to-death Christmas Carol”. “Mrs. Cratchit”s Wild Christmas Binge” featured Cardinal Newman students Sami Myer, Jackson Phillips, Maria Bellizzi, Audrey Jordan, Lillian Larson, Jasmine Janisch, Hannah Line, Liliana VanZutphen and Sophia Sutherland. The production was produced by the Cardinal Newman Dramatic Arts Department’s student-run company, The Ghostlight Acting Co. Formed by the students, they selected the play, helped design costumes, developed the show poster, and made decisions on many other production elements. The Ghostlight Acting Co. is currently in the process of selecting a musical for Spring of 2017.”

The other big performance of the fall semester was the Cardinal Newman dance production. This performance was named “Stardust” and was held on Monday, December 5-6, 2016, at Sonoma Country Day School in the Jackson Theater. Director Gabrielle Thompson led 83 students in a theme dance performance focused on honoring iconic heroes and idols.

Mrs. Thompson led the performers in an innovative collaboration of choreography, costumes, and musical remixes to acknowledge influential people of the 20th and 21st century.

“Stardust” captured the audience’s attention with creative movement, spoken word, and courageous effort from the entire cast.

FATHER/SON MASS & BARBECUE

MOTHER/DAUGHTER BRUNCH

The annual Father/Son Mass & Barbecue was held on campus on Sunday, September 18, 2016. This is a special day for fathers and sons, grandfathers, and uncles to spend time with each other. Following Mass, guests were divided into groups, rotating between basketball, sack races, and Chess. The competitive “sports” day ended with a delicious BBQ lunch. Fun was had by all!

The annual Mother/Daughter Brunch was held at Vintner’s Inn on Sunday, October 30, 2016. It’s a special time for mothers, daughters and grandmothers to spend the morning together. Our President, Laura Held, and students Melissa Goan, Katie Shieh and Emily Pham led us in prayer before enjoying a scrumptious breakfast together. This is a very popular event every year!

JUNIOR RING CEREMONY 2016

T

ogether with the Cardinal Newman student body and faculty, this year’s junior class celebrated their achievement of becoming upperclassmen. On October 12th, the junior students were recognized as they take this important step in their journey through high school. As a symbol of their unity as a class,

hapter

each student received a Rosary Ring with a prayer card and a class ring (if purchased). The junior student leadership chose the theme “A New Chapter” to highlight the closing of their time as underclassmen and to beginning a new stage in their high school career as upperclassmen. The scripture reading from Philippians challenged the students to follow Christ’s example of doing nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit but to humbly regard others as more important and to look out for the interests of others.

Father Moses led the ceremony with Ms. Mertle, Mr. Rutherford, and Ms. Held, each challenging the students to understand their role as leaders in the CN student body. The ring ceremony will be a reminder of the unity and responsibility the class shares as they journey through these next two years of high school together.

Our students gained broad exposure to much of the good being done in our community.

Thank you!

Thank you to the many parent volunteers that contribute so much to the day. Your help with set up, take down, serving the meals, baking desserts and the luncheon table decorations is appreciated! Our parent volunteers are such a blessing! Thanks also to the members of the Religion department, administration, staff, G&G Market, the CN maintenance crew and the CBSL team who consistently support the Community Service Program.

The Fall sports teams raised money through selling 50/50 raffle tickets and baked goods at home games. Also, breast cancer awareness t-shirts were sold and students were able to wear them to school on all October Fridays. Money raised was given to Sutter Health. Thank you to all who support our students and their mission to give back to the community.

MEN’S WATER POLO The Cardinal Newman Water Polo team had much more success than the record would show. Although our games didn’t always end in victory, the team was successful in becoming better water polo players. The varsity team only had one player that returned, after graduating the entire varsity team last season. By moving up seven JV players and starting a freshman, the team was forced to play at a higher level than many of them were ready for. The growth they experienced was incredible, and by the end of the season the team took the #4 team in the conference to the ropes, eventually losing in the 4th quarter by 1. Newman plays in one of the most competitive water polo leagues in all of northern California with the heavy favorite to win all of NCS as a regular opponent. The team will return all but two players next year in what should be a very successful season.

WOMEN’S WATER POLO The Cardinal Newman Women’s Water Polo team ended with an overall record of 9-14 and a league record of 4-8. They were led in the field

by Tal Webb and Lauren Walker and in the goal

by Abby Vinson. This year’s team is graduating nine seniors who have put in a lot of hard work over the years. They will be missed for their positive attitudes and leadership. The girls really improved individually and as a team this year.

The rest of the team is looking forward to having another successful season in 2017!

FRESHMAN VOLLEYBALL This year the freshman volleyball team put in a lot of time and effort to learn a sport that was completely new to most of them. They successfully started on the path to mastering technique and fundamentals and had a phenomenal season. They came in second in their league for freshman teams, and the improvement from the beginning to the end of the season was extraordinary. The future of CN Volleyball looks bright!

JV VOLLEYBALL The JV volleyball team enjoyed a successful season in a very competitive league this year. We worked hard to achieve a 14-8 overall record and a 9-5 league record. Along the way, we played tremendous non-league matches against Healdsburg, St. Helena, and Analy, cruising to straight set victories over them powered by tremendous hitting and serving.

As we got to the middle of the season, we had our one and only tournament, The NorCal Invitational.

Tournaments are a great time to really gel as a team, and we did just that. We saw some of the best JV volleyball teams from all over northern California and split a match with an elite Vintage High School team (only two sets were played in pool play due to time constraints). We would end up taking 3rd place after a very tough-fought match against Berkeley High School. Throughout that match, many ties and lead changes occurred, but ultimately, we fell just short in the third set (13-15). Berkeley proceeded to win the championship with ease.

Following the tournament, we finished the season on a 9-3 tear in league. In what was easily the most competitive season since I have been coaching, we fought hard and were competitive in every match down the stretch. Down the stretch, we continued our strong all-around play. We did not let any team beat us without an absolute dog fight. The amount of heart and passion displayed by the team made me a proud coach.

VARSITY VOLLEYBALL The Cardinal Newman Varsity Volleyball team has enjoyed a very successful season. The team began play in August and competed in two early season tournaments against strong competition.

The Cardinals finished runner-up in the NorCal challenge and defended their last year’s Championship in the Healdsburg Invitational. The team played strong through the first half of the league season, remaining undefeated (including a 5 set, thrilling win against Montgomery at the John Fitzgerald Gym) but fell to rivals Windsor and Maria Carrillo. The team continued through the second half and after a defeat to Montgomery, the team needed to win their last two remaining matches against league leaders Windsor and Maria Carrillo to capture their first league championship. The girls played their best volleyball of the season and were able to beat Windsor at Windsor and Maria Carrillo at home to seal their first volleyball league championship. The team moved on to the NCS Championships and but fell to a very strong Branson School team in the semi-finals. By virtue of their NCS finish, the Cardinals qualified for the state tournament which begins November 16. Congratulations to the Cardinals volleyball program on their accomplishments.

CROSS COUNTRY The 2016 CN Cross Country team had a strong season all around, with three runners, David Simonyi, Kasey Braun, and Noel Clark, earning All-League honors at the NBL Championships on Nov 4.

The Varsity boys’ team finished 6th in the conference, and the Varsity girls, JV boys and the JV girls finished 5th overall. Only two teams in the league had better finishes in all four races in the league finals. Twenty-eight of our 31 team members exceeded their lifetime personal bests this season, with our JV boys and JV girls showing the largest improvements, which bodes well for the future of the program. The Varsity boys were lead this season by David Simonyi, Dylan Pelkey and Tucker Cullen, while the Varsity girls were lead by Kasey Braun, Noel Clark and Lillian Larson.

The JV Boys were lead this season by the strong performances from Lucas Loughner, Frank Braun and Dylan Pelkey, while the JV Girls leaders for the team were Katy Dell’Era, Sammie Williams and Grace Bedsole. The team will compete for a spot in the state championship at the NCS meet in Hayward on November 19th.

VARSITY GOLF The 2016 Women’s Varsity Golf Team had a winning season in the North Bay League with a 10-4 record. Our home course changed to Fountaingrove Golf Club, which was challenging for the girls at the beginning of the season, however their scores really improved on the course in the second half. Seniors Emily Pham and Natalie Justice both medaled at the NBL Tournament held at Foxtail South Golf Course with low scores of 99 and 95 respectively. They were both honored with the NBL 1st Team title with an average of 14 over par during the season. In the NBL Tournament the team went on to beat Ukiah and qualified for the NCS Division II Championship, which was held at Rooster Run Golf Club in Petaluma. The team placed sixth overall at the NCS Division II Championship. Sophomores Maddy Figueroa, Grace Cose, Carissa Pisors, Bella Bellizzi, and Olivia Almy contributed to the season with solid supporting scores in league matches and tournament play. Helping round out the team, beginner Camille Bollinger practiced every week and looks to play next year.

Congratulations girls on an excellent season!

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Once again, the 2016 freshman football season started with three tough non-league opponents. The first game of the season was a home-opener against an always-strong St. Mary’s of Stockton. The game came down to the final drive, but the team was unable to pull out a victory and lost the first game of the season 18-20. The freshman Cardinals then ripped off eight straight victories, starting with another home game against Archbishop Riordan from San Francisco.

The game was a very physical contest, which made the 9-8 victory so rewarding. For game three, the Cardinals made the long road trip to Newark Memorial for the first-ever meeting between the two squads.

The team pulled out an impressive 23-14 win over a skilled Newark Memorial team.

The following week the team embarked on a league schedule against five traditional rivals from the NBL. The freshman opened league play with a win at Casa Grande, then marched on to four more wins to close out the season. The final contest was an away game in the rain against a strong Rancho Cotate team. The victory secured a third straight North Bay League title for the freshman Cardinals.

The season was a success from start to finish due to the hard work and determination of the players, which allowed the Cardinals to outscore their opponents 287 to 89 in nine games. The coaching staff truly enjoyed working with this young and enthusiastic group and look forward to the future accomplishments of such a talented group.

JV FOOTBALL JV Football had another successful season finishing 8-2 overall and 6-1 in the North Bay League. The team ended the season tied for the league title with Rancho Cotate and Maria Carrillo, all finishing 6-1 in league play. The coaches want to thank all the players for working extremely hard all season and improving every week. The JV coaches, Dan Tynan, Judd Foell, Lynn Meister, Will Peterson, Jamie Woods, Dale Dutton, and Rick Kohut are proud of this team and look forward to watching them next year!

VARSITY FOOTBALL The 2016 Varsity Football Team has enjoyed strong leadership from its seniors! The team has worked extremely hard and has been a joy to be around.

The team has earned the title of North Bay League champions while going undefeated in league play, NCS Champions, and recently lost to Valley Christian High School in the Regional Finals of the CIF State Football Championship. The coaches would like to thank the Cardinal Newman community for all of their support this season, as well as the families in the program for all of their efforts and support with the young men and the football program.

CHEER Cardinal Newman Varsity Cheer is at the front line of CN Pride and Spirit. Over the past five years, our committed team parents, athletes, and coaches have successfully brought the Newman pride to the forefront through crowd support at games and school rallies, excellent game and half-time performances, and most importantly, in building positive school SPIRIT. CN Varsity cheer not only works hard in keeping student pride alive, they are positive motivators of school spirit and believe all sports are an important foundation for school-wide collaboration. This year, as an example of community service, CN Cheer collaborated with Windsor High in a combined half-time performance celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness month. They also spearheaded a 50/50 raffle raising over $400.00 towards Breast Cancer Awareness. These athletes are not only a

representation of school spirit but are also strong student leaders, public servants, and athletes who serve within their community.

In the future, CN cheer hopes to continue to build a strong base of support because once that is established other supports will follow. “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Every job is a selfportrait of the person who did it ... Autograph your work with excellence.” —Vince Lombardi It has been an honor in rebuilding and shaping the CN cheer program. Every year is a new endeavor with new athletes which offers new opportunities for growth and talent. Thank you to all those who are committed in sharing and spreading positive school SPIRIT.

The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focused on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.

JV WOMEN’S SOCCER

VARSITY WOMEN’S SOCCER

The JV women’s soccer team achieved incredible change over the course of three months. From the beginning, one may have questioned skill, but the potential should have never been questioned. As all teams do, JV soccer hit a few bumps, but nothing the girls couldn’t handle.

New players stepped-up their game play, returning players became leaders, and by the second round of games, our team meshed and jumped to a new level of play we had yet to see. Some results are not always the ones you want, but improvement is improvement, and in this case it was extremely prevalent.

The women’s varsity team completed a season that was filled with many challenges. A small roster from the start placed many demands on the players, and as the season continued, injuries created even greater challenges. The competitive North Bay League did not provide any games where the team could reload and recover as every game was highlycontested. The season ended with the team losing in the second round of NCS where, once again, it was a game that was highly-contested vs Ukiah. As in many games this season, the girls outplayed their opponent but lost in sudden death overtime. Players are looking forward to next season where they can use the experience of this year and grow as a team.

One thing for certain, the girls left everything on the field and formed great relationships with each other. CN will definitely be a team to be reckoned with for many seasons to come.

TENNIS The Cardinal Newman Women’s Tennis season was very successful. We had senior leadership with captains Anna Hartmann and Molly Wolmuth, and a solid four singles lineup of Rachael McGregor (11), Anna Hartmann, Molly Wolmuth, and Gigi Swenson-Aguirre (11).

Our doubles were led by Mimi Almy (10), Ana Negri (10), Grace Nonella (12), Natalia Gamba (12), Lizzy Foley (10), and Olivia Beyer (12). The teams of Mimi Almy/Ana Negri and Grace Nonella/Natalia Gamba were undefeated in league and won many matches for us throughout the year. Isabella Brunner (9), was a big contributor to the team in both singles and doubles.

The Cardinals earned an overall record of 16-3 and an NBL pennant for reaching first place with Santa Rosa High School. The Cardinals played a tiebreaker with Santa Rosa and beat them 4-3 to earn the automatic berth for NCS Tennis. As a team, Cardinal Newman was the #4 seed and beat Marin Catholic 6-1 in the first round.

Second round, Newman lost a close 4-3 match vs. the #5 seed Head Royce. Individually, Rachael McGregor earned 3rd place in the NBL Singles Tournament. In the NBL Doubles Tournament, the teams of Anna Hartmann/ Molly Wolmuth and Rachael McGregor/Gigi SwensonAguirre both reached the semifinals and lost two tough matches. Next year the Cardinals look to continue their strong league- and post-season play with leadership from Rachael and Gigi.

TEAM HONORING

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE

On Friday, September 9, 2016, the Cardinal Newman High School varsity football teams from 1984 and 1985 were honored!

About 30 years ago, both teams earned champion titles in the NBL and NCS. Teammates and their families joined us in the Athletic Convocation Center for beverages and hors d’oeuvres before walking over to Ed Lloyd Field to watch today’s Cardinals as they took on Analy.

It was nice to see these players back on the field as each player’s name was called during halftime.

The Alumni Association Committee meets monthly to discuss ways of involving our alums of all ages, and ways to support the school through the Association. Many events are supported through this association including our Fun in the Fall and Polenta Feed, Career Day, Golf Tournament, Quarterly Alumni Luncheons, and Homecoming festivities. The committee is always looking for new alumni involvement. If you are interested in becoming an Alumni Association Committee Member or if you would like more information, contact Nick Werle at nick.werle@nationalds.net.

CALLED TO SERVE AND PROTECT

T

he letters arrive unexpectedly, with forms full of specific questions, and signed off permission from the applicant. The cover letter is stern, with Background Check standing out; one of our graduates has applied to a law enforcement department and they want to know what he or she was like in high school. The letter always points out that the applicant has given permission and answered the same questions; what they think will happen from our end, not knowing who will fill the form out, must have them reviewing exactly what they were like in high school. One benefit to our students is the smaller size of our student body means we do know them well;

Our students who seek to serve and protect are the right people for a difficult, demanding job another is that our stable faculty and administration means that the form will be filled out by someone who knows them too, in these cases me. Appreciating the seriousness of the request, the answers are precise; I am pleased that I have never been asked to fill out

the form of a past student that would be a poor match.

Our students who seek to serve and protect are the right people for a difficult, demanding job, one that is rightly best described as a vocation.

During the last few years, while the nation has been embroiled in protests and debates about law enforcement, the use of force, training, and safety, we have seen a new generation enter into this crucible.

The students who are now in uniform are varied in outlook, experience, and interests, yet they are all service-minded people, just as they were servicecentered students. They value community, they believe in free expression and Constitutional Rights, they know safety is necessary for peace, as is justice.

From our experience of them here, they are drawn to improve our city or county, believe in working with people, and are willing to act to help protect all residents. They are amongst our finest graduates.

Cardinal Newman High School’s Named Endowment Program begins with a gift of $25,000 or more. If you wish to establish a Named Endowment, please contact the CNHS Advancement Office.

The Cardinal Newman Scholarship Endowment Fund is an accumulation over the years of gifts presented as part of a memorial to honor a specific person. If you wish to memorialize a loved one without establishing a Named Endowment, please know that all gifts made to the Cardinal Newman Scholarship Endowment Fund in honor of a loved one memorialize that person by including him or her in the perpetual prayer offered by all members of the CNHS community at every liturgical celebration throughout every academic year.

Gifts made to the Cardinal Newman Fund in memory of a loved one are welcome, as well.

CARDINAL NEWMAN’S ANNUAL FUND

F

or over fifty years, the Annual Fund has been the foundation of our school’s fundraising program.

Contributions to the Annual Fund ensure that the very best resources are in place for continued growth and excellence. Just as others before us have helped fund improvements that meet the needs of the school, we ask our Cardinal Newman community, which is made up of our Board, Faculty, Staff, Parents and Alumni, to support the Annual Fund. Our goal is to have 100% participation each

year which means that everyone gives at a dollar amount that makes sense for their family.

Whether your gift is large or modest, participation from all is the goal.

This year, the Annual Fund support received totals over $134,445.00. If you have not made your gift yet this year, there’s still time! Visit CARDINALNEWMAN.ORG/DONATE to support this important program.

FUN IN THE FALL

S

ince 2015, CNHS has welcomed the chance IIto continue the tradition of the Ursuline Polenta Feed by blending it with the Cardinal Newman Fun in the Fall Wine Tasting event. This took place on Saturday, October 22, 2016, and included nearly 20 local wineries and breweries pouring award-winning wine and brew.

Approximately 250 guests gathered in the ACC for wine tasting and mouth-watering appetizers prepared by many parent volunteers. After the wine tasting portion of the evening, guests moved into the CN Gym where they enjoyed a wonderful polenta dinner, along with tri-tip cooked by members of our Alumni Committee, and dessert prepared by Costeaux Bakery. “DJ Dan” of Crystal Clear Studio entertained us with great dance music as the dance floor got a real work-out!

In past years, graduating classes have chosen to hold their class reunions here! Classmates receive special, reserved seating, and they are able to enjoy the night mingling with friends of yesteryear without the need for planning their own reunion event. This is a great idea for those who’d like to host their reunion at next year’s Fun in the Fall event to be held on Saturday, October 21, 2017!

Thank you to this year’s wineries and breweries for participating in this FUN event, and to Mickey Head and Eagle Distributing for hosting our bar! Don’t miss out on next year’s event!

FUND A FUTURE BREAKFAST EVENT Thursday, April 21, 2016, was a remarkable day for the Cardinal Newman High School community--- we launched our first annual Fund A Future Breakfast event supporting financial assistance for deserving students and families!

A

t our event, nearly 90 alumni, parents and friends joined together for the purpose of raising more financial assistance for our school community. Our guests came together to hear the inspiring presentations given by our keynote speakers, Mr. Michael Santos ‘07, Ms. Shawn Bunger ‘83 and Ms. Kathleen Mateo ‘16.

Our two alumni speakers, Michael and Shawn, spoke about their passion for giving back to the school which helped shape them as persons of faith, intellect and integrity. Both of them are passionate about “supporting students who are interested in taking advantage of all that Cardinal Newman has to offer and whose families need and deserve financial assistance”.

Our Senior student speaker, Kathleen, beautifully described how important the financial assistance had been to her family. Having graduated in May 2016, Kathleen is now attending Roanoke College in Virginia. Her hard work ethic and appreciation for taking advantage of all that Cardinal Newman has to offer is summed up by her proudly telling the breakfast attendees,

This extraordinary first Fund A Future Breakfast event resulted in a successful achievement of raising $265,126 for financial assistance! Plans are now well underway for the promotion of our second annual Fund A Future Breakfast to be held on Thursday, April 27, 2016.

Because of the generous financial support given to me and my family, I was able to fulfill my dream of attending Cardinal Newman.

CNHS President, Laura Held, states, “Cardinal Newman is often a life-changing experience for many of our young people and this breakfast endeavor helps enable many current and future students and their families to have the advantage of this wonderful school.

RECENT UPGRADES TO CN ATHLETIC FACILITIES!!

ALUMNI AND CN COMMUNITY HELPS MAKE CAREER DAY A SUCCESS!

Last spring, two improvements were made to the baseball and softball facilities. First, two additional batting cages were installed at the baseball facility, bringing the total number of available cages to three.

Improvements to the cages included new concrete pads and cyclone fencing. According to varsity baseball coach TJ McMahon, the addition of the new cages will give the (freshman, JV, and varsity) teams more space to practice. “It (was) a challenge scheduling practices and games with only one field and one cage for three teams to share. With limited daylight in the first half of the season, we have been forced to have our frosh team practice off campus…it was difficult for me as the varsity coach to follow the day-to-day progress of the freshmen.” Special thanks goes to President, Laura Held, who led a team of interested parents who also contributed to complete the batting cage project, including Ken LaFranchi, Ryan Vice, Scott Tosti, and CN Director of Facilities Eric Parker and our facilities team.

Cardinal Newman High School’s Career Day was held on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. Career Day is an opportunity for students to learn about a variety of careers and what it takes to be successful in college and beyond. Twenty-nine people, made up of CN/UHS alumni and our community, gave presentations to our students, and discussed what inspired them to pursue their chosen careers, the educational requirements necessary, the rewards and what real-world problems they encountered. Along with bringing real-world experiences to the table, the alumni discussed the value of their education at Cardinal Newman and the paths they took to get where they are today. Keynote speaker, Jim Jarrett ‘76, spoke about how important it is to enjoy what you do and how your path may change.

He conveyed to the students that they are here for a reason and to find that reason and embrace it. These speakers generously gave their time to share their experiences and advice in classroom sessions. Thank you to everyone who participated in making Career Day 2016 a success!

Besides the new batting cages, a new Daktronics scoreboard was installed at the softball complex. The electronic unit, which is operated from a wireless control box, was installed behind the cyclone fence adjacent to the left-field foul line and is in plain view of spectators seated behind the backstop or sitting along the right-field foul line. Fans will see the inning-byinning score and the recorded number of balls, strikes, and outs. Varsity softball coach Bill Vreeland says it shows a commitment (by) the school to invest in the girls and their sport. “Sometimes the perception is there is more attention paid to men’s athletics than women’s.

Having coached on both sides, I don’t necessarily agree. This investment from the school shows tremendous support for the success of our women’s team. We have many areas of need in the softball program, so the installation of the new scoreboard is a wonderful start”. Much appreciation and thanks goes to CN teacher and softball parent Jack Killeen for his work as liaison for the project, and CN Director of Facilities, Eric Parker and our facilities team.

SUPPORT NEWS ROUND-UP TECHNOLOGY ON CAMPUS – NEW MAC AIR LAPTOPS In June of 2016, just in time for summer dabbling with technology, CN teachers received a brand new Mac Air laptop. Having this tool allows the teachers to be more connected to the 1:1 teaching and learning environment, even in their off campus time.

The greatest benefit to students comes when teachers can explore new websites, online tools, and media while they have a bit of down time. It also provides them connectivity during our professional development opportunities on campus and away from school.

Meetings have been much more productive since everyone has the ability to delve deeper during the session.

ENGRAVED PAVER FUNDRAISER IN SUPPORT OF STEM Support the Cardinal Newman STEM program (Science – Technology – Engineering – Math) with your purchase of an engraved paver. To purchase your personalized engraved paver to be placed in the walkway of our new St. Angela Merici Science Center, visit CARDINALNEWMAN.ORG/ENGRAVEDTILES.

When discussing the laptops with two of our newest teachers, Mrs. Elsa Binder (Social Studies) and Fr. Jeffrey Keyes (Theology), both were quick to point out that they did not have the luxury of such a tool in their last schools. Mrs. Binder said that the new lap top, along with her other classroom tools, “Makes lessons come to life and makes my job a million times easier.”

Fr. Keyes added, “The Mac Air is wonderful and a great help.”

A NEW WRESTLING JOG-A-THON FACILITY: A SPACE FOR GROWTH AND COMMUNITY The new wrestling space will be more than just a facility for the wrestling community of Cardinal Newman. It will propel the values and beliefs of what it means to be part of a dedicated family. The facility will inspire student growth on campus. It will be a home for future student athletes of Cardinal Newman and a gathering for community. Feats and success stories will have a place to be remembered, reminders of those who came before us will be raised on its walls. The facility will be a historical landscape of names and memories. We as a team of coaches and student athletes are thankful for this gift. It is important to note that facilities matter, they are the physical environments that encapsulate us.

When these environments become rich with strong leaders, they also become attractive. On behalf of everyone who has been part of the Cardinal Newman wrestling family and those who are inspired to be a part of it, we give thanks. Thank you to all of those individuals who made this wrestling room a reality.

CLASSROOM RENOVATION – PHASE I Over the course of this past Summer, we began Phase I of the Renovation Classroom Building Project. The North Classroom Building, rooms 8-15, received a new roof, gutter and drainage upgrade, new heating and cooling ventilation system, and interior painting of all classroom space.

The completion of the same work in the South Classroom Building, rooms 1-7 will be scheduled for Summer 2017. Phase II of this renovation project will address the future addition of new windows, doors and exterior painting for both classroom buildings.

The Cardinal Newman Jog-a-Thon took place on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, where students circled the track to raise funds for their school. It’s not too late to support your favorite jogger or make a tax-deductible gift in support of Phase II of the classroom renovation, heating, and air conditioning!

The annual jog-a-thon has brought many exciting things to campus in the past such as football field lights, field house/snack shack, women’s locker room and shower facilities, and expansion of field bleachers, to name a few. This is the only student-run fundraiser Cardinal Newman holds and we encourage students to participate by sending emails to family and family friends. Once again, we worked with an outside company to reduce our fundraising costs by utilizing a more tech-savvy email system rather than disbursing the high costs associated with paper, copying and postage required to send the thousands of letters out to possible donors. Show your support and encouragement by making a gift today!

Thank you to all who so generously support Cardinal Newman High School.

LIBRARY AND COMPUTER ROOM RENOVATION PROJECT To adapt to the educational changes brought on by the rise of technology and 21st century learning principles, Cardinal Newman recognizes the need to assess our current interior library design. While we believe that our library will continue to hold collections of books and reference materials, we recognize the need to provide multi-use learning commons spaces which are quiet and collaborative, and are intended to be hubs of creativity and marketplaces of ideas. The learning commons spaces will provide students with the opportunity to work independently or in groups in planned learning areas.

Special thanks to the Moms’ Club and Dads’ Club for designating their fundraising efforts this year to assisting us with the purchase of new round and rectangular library tables and chairs, addition of a 60” flat screen television, individual study carrels, and upright mobile computer workstations.
