WASHING OF THE FEET HOLY THURSDAY
On April 2nd, Holy Thursday, our students, faculty and staff took the opportunity to follow Jesus' instructions to his apostles at the Last Supper from the Gospel of John and participated in our annual Washing of the Feet Community Service Day. "So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet for I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them."

INNOVATIVE INTERSESSION ENGAGING STUDENTS IN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING This spring, for the second consecutive year, the CN faculty participated in Intersession, a program engaging students in experiential learning and building community. Working together, teachers offered many different courses ranging from Archery to Welding. On March 31st and April 1st the entire student body participated in classes and workshops of their choosing. While a number of instructors used the CN campus as a base, others took students off campus to visit colleges, practice photography in natural settings, explore culinary arts, or have the opportunity to experience what it’s like to go backpacking. Mr. Rutherford prepared a program for students curious about criminal justice. His students observed actual trials and met with judges. College Counselors Mary Euphrat and Tony Greco organized a two-day college tour. Students appreciated how prepared their guides were in helping them to consider future options. Courses such as Dance, Meditation, Boot Camp, Soccer, Sports Psychology, Welding and Robotics earned equally high ratings from students.
Many of the non-profit agencies we worked with have given feedback about how wonderful it is to see students and faculty representing our Catholic school serving the broader community. It is so important that our students get a chance to see various agencies caring for those in need. Many agencies remark that it is a blessing for students to share a service experience with their teachers, and that we visibly are putting our faith into action.
In a follow-up survey, students overwhelmingly supported the program and expressed hope that Intersession would grow.
Thanks to everyone for their commitment to serving our community!
Mother/Daughter Brunch-Vintners Inn
Mother/Son Mass & Brunch
Father/Daughter Dance
“Mother Son Mass & Brunch is a special time that offers my sons and I precious bonding time. It is a day to share a mother's love for her son and her son's love for her. Fr. Raul Lemus, our celebrant, and our Principal Graham Rutherford shared some of their memorable "mom moments" with us this year. It was also a special day for Fr. Raul as his mom was able to join us. The delicious brunch with plenty of sausage and bacon for the young men was a hit. My sons are always glad that they have taken time to spend with me, their friends and their moms. I encourage all CNHS moms and sons to attend and start or continue this wonderful tradition in their family.” -Carol Drake -(Nick '15, Alex '12, Trevor '11, Chris Quock '11)
Mother Daughter Mass and Brunch was held on Sunday, January 11, 2015, at Vintner’s Inn, John Ash. A delicious brunch was served following a prayer service given by Father Raul. Special photos were taken of moms with their daughters. It’s such special time to be able to spend a couple hours with moms, daughters, grandmothers and friends.
“The Father-Daughter Dance is really special to me. My dad and I look forward to it every year and have a special tradition for each dance. The dance is so fun and we never stop dancing. Every year after the dance, my dad and I are closer than ever; it is a great way to reconnect and have fun at the same time. My friends go every year along with their fathers and we all sit together while we enjoy our dinners and then all have a great night dancing. Every year it gets better and better and I cannot wait until the next one!” -Grace Nonella ‘17
“Mother Son Brunch has been a tradition in my family since my brother Trevor's freshman year in 2007. It is a special time to bond with my mother and brothers, in addition to spending time with my friends and their mothers.” -Nick Drake-Class of '15
Campus Update - BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD)
At Cardinal Newman we are committed to moving our students and staff forward to a 21st century learning environment. As part of that comprehensive plan we are excited to be launching our BYOD program in the fall. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is gaining popularity in many schools across the country as a way of increasing access to vital technology. It acknowledges the reality that students need to have ready access to educationally-valuable technology that, until recently, they were forced to turn off when they entered the school building. It is clear that greater student access to technology will continue to enhance the learning experience here at Cardinal Newman as well as give the students the digital literacy necessary for success in college and in their careers. It will allow for greater collaboration, individualized pacing and instruction, global perspectives, expansion of time and place, greater self-expression, depth of understanding, and greater productivity. It also allows for less weight in backpacks and less cost for books and supplies. After researching other successful programs in Catholic schools around the Bay Area, we have developed our current plan. It will involve a robust infrastructure, and a rigorous curriculum. In summary, if education is about accessing information, using critical thinking, and applying the knowledge to real world issues, then information technology is an important tool in our journey. We have only just begun this transition. School will eventually look very different. The adventure is just beginning.
A RTS A LIVE!
This spring the arts are in the air (as in music, poetry and dance), and on display (fine arts) as ARTS ALIVE! 2015, the annual spring art festival, kicks off at Cardinal Newman High School. It kicks off with an Arts Pep Rally that the ASB students help organize, followed the next week by “Imagine That”, the fine art gallery opening reception; “Poetry Night” headed by the English Department; “So Show Me”, the school’s talent show; and finally the third week holds the “Spring Dance Show”. Some events are ones that students sign up to participate in and others are part of classes they are taking. It’s a wonderful time to stop and appreciate the artistic creativity around campus.

MEN'S BASKETBALL VARSITY This year was a very special year for
During practice times the team worked together to create game strategies as well as practice half court shots! When game day came around the girls were always focused and ready to go! The Cardinal Newman Freshman Women’s Basketball team went 6-6 in league, which is outstanding! The girls really improved their basketball skills and most importantly had fun and were able to create a bond with one another.
Connor Rubattino was the Most Valuable Player in the NBL and Justin Botteri and James Ryan were voted All-League, Gunnar Walker was voted the League's Outstanding Defender and also received All-League Honorable Mention.
coaching at the high school level and she really enjoyed working with the girls, who were really committed to playing basketball. The experience level varied between each player, but throughout the season the girls really came together as a team and were able to create a bond on and off the court.
JVThe Cardinal Newman Women’s JV basketball team
ended their 2014-2015 season 26 -0 including 3 pre-season tournament championships. The players stepped up to the challenge and played well as a team all season long. Teamwork and bonding was our focus on and off the court. Academically, the girls were highlighted at the winter sports banquet for having the highest average team GPA of 3.65. A special thank you to the player’s parents, and in particular the team representatives Lori Bryson and Jeannine Hextrum, for their support and participation at home and away games. Thank you also to our coaching staff, Collin and Margaret for all their help this season.
the 2015 Men's Varsity basketball team; they won 5 championships (Rose City Tournament, Brett Callen Memorial Tournament, Sonoma County Classic, North Bay League Championship and the North Bay League Tournament Championship). The Cardinals logged one of the most impressive records in the state posting a 30-4 record--the best Division 4 record in Northern California. They also finished second in the North Coast Section and advanced all the way to the State Quarter-Finals--two games shy of a state title.
The five graduating seniors led the team and made great contributions: James Ryan (4-year letterman), Justin Botteri (3-year letterman), Gunnar Walker (3-year letterman), Chad Sousa and Shane Bruno (2-year lettermans). This exceptional team reached 30 victories in a season--only the fourth Cardinal Newman team to accomplish this feat. Among the large high schools in the Redwood Empire, only Cardinal Newman teams have won 30 games in a season--this was an unprecedented fourth time the program has reached that plateau.
Coach Larkin looks forward to continuing the tradition of success that Cardinal Newman basketball program has had over the years. Her top three goals for next season are skill development, player-to-player game time communication, and student body participation.
JV
The 2014-2015 JV Basketball Team finished atop the NBL standings with a 13-1 league record. After playing in the competitive Acalanes HS and Drake HS JV tournaments, the young Cards were 4-4 entering league play. The 13 sophomores and 2 freshmen quickly came together and finished two games ahead of both Montgomery and Casa Grande for the league title. Buying into the philosophy of tough team defense and unselfish offensive play, the team allowed a little over 37 points a game in the NBL and had several players contribute on the offensive end. Including a non-league loss to Central Catholic of Modesto, the JV squad finished the season with an overall record of 17-6. Most importantly, these young players learned to take advantage of their opportunities and are poised to carry on the great basketball tradition at Cardinal Newman.
FRESHMAN CARDINAL The 2014-15
Frosh Cardinal Basketball Team had a season to remember! They finished their season with a record of 26-0, going undefeated. This is the first-ever CN frosh team to win 26 games in a season. They won the Piedmont and Sweet 16 Freshmen Tournaments and they beat their opponents by an average score of 28.4 points per game, completely dominating their opponents in every statistical category.
VARSITY The 2014-2015 Cardinal Newman High
School Girls Basketball team was the most successful in school history. In addition to winning the North Bay League and North Bay League Tournament Championship for the second year in a row, the Cardinals fought their way to the Northern California Semi-Finals before falling to Brookside Christian.
Members of the team were Ryan Robinson, Bennett Kohut (Coaches Award), Tyler Botteri (Most Improved Player), Malcolm Hilberman, Jeremy Mackling, Joey Trevena (6th Man Award), Brendan Farber (Hustle Award), Travis Carlozzi (All-Around Player Award), Luke Von Brauchitsch (Defensive Player Award), Padraig Lafferty, Christian Hextrum (Co-MVP) and Bradley Morato (Co-MVP).
Despite their success, the most impressive thing about the CNHS Women’s Basketball Team was their selflessness. The players, led by seniors Kylie Kiech, Julia Bertolero and Megan McConnell, were completely committed to team play. While numerous girls on the 12-player roster had the ability to put up extraordinary individual statistics, the girls put the success of the team ahead of their personal agendas and were rewarded tremendously on the court.
Special thanks to all of the parents who supported the team, and especially to our Team Rep, Laurie Trevena, who went well beyond the call of duty, allowing me to concentrate on coaching the players.
The 2014-2015 season is particularly special in that it marks the first graduating class of senior girls to spend four years in the program. Kylie, Julia and Megan entered Cardinal Newman as freshman in 2011—the first year that the school opened its doors to female students. They have been a part of the program since the very beginning and have spent the past four years working to build a foundation that would carry the program for years to come. We would like to thank our seniors for all they have done for the school and the women’s basketball program. Congratulations to all of the girls on a fantastic season—it was truly a year to be remembered! With nine of its twelve players returning the Cardinals look forward to continued success!
Rose City Champions
FRESHMAN GOLD Congratulations go to the
frosh gold team on its winning season of 19 wins to only 7 losses. This team went 5-3 in tournament play and they were 9-3 in league play. The team had big wins over Maria Carrillo, Ukiah and Analy high schools. This team’s offense was outstanding, averaging more than 50 points per game. This is a very talented freshman class and we look forward to good things in the future for Cardinal Newman basketball.

WRESTLING VARSITY The 2014-15 wrestling season was
one of the best in the history of Cardinal Newman high school. This team managed to punch in a dual meet record of 5-2 in the league. The Cardinal wrestlers lost to tough teams but the losses have gotten closer each year. A grueling loss to Ukiah 3534 was hard to swallow but the Cardinals moved on and eventually beat the Wildcats of Ukiah at NCS by placing 7th where the Wildcats placed 9th. Individual success came at the NCS wrestling championships where all NCS teams compete in one division no matter the size of the school. Overall the Cardinals placed 7th behind some great powerhouse programs like De La Salle, and James Logan. In the top ten, Cardinal Newman was the only small school. The next smallest was a school of 1500 students. NCS place winners included Kyle Smith 7th at 120 lbs. Jake Butler 6th at 128 lbs. Michael Klee 1st at 145lbs. Joey Frazier 4th at 152lbs. Mason Levinson went 4-2 missing placing by one match. Freshman Harry Bruno and Nick Hernandez qualified to NCS recording a 2-2 and 1-2 record each. Michael Klee went 37-2 winning an NCS title and recording a 3-2 record at the state meet just two matches shy of placing. The future looks bright for Cardinal Newman wrestling. 2—CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

JV WRESTLING The junior varsity wrestling
team had one of their best seasons by winning the Windsor JV Tournament, and placing third at Deer Valley Duals. This team managed to dominate their competition by executing great technique on the mat. Cardinal Newman wrestling has become a force not to be overlooked. Newman wrestlers continue to take pride in wearing the cardinal and gold. This attitude is seen even in the Junior Varsity wrestlers because it is instilled by their varsity leaders. This season, our most valuable Junior Varsity wrestler was Connor Gilmartin. Connor has done a great job working hard over the summer and it showed this year. There is a bright future for these soon-to-be varsity wrestlers. Congratulations to Dylan Levinson, Nick Lytle, Jaxon Apodaca, Casey Frazier and Joe Bone on an exciting season.

CHEER
Cardinal Newman Varsity Cheer is reviving the Cardinal Pride and Spirit. Over the past four years, their committed team parents, athletes, coaches, and parent representatives have successfully brought Newman pride to the forefront through crowd support at games and school rallies, excellent game and halftime performances, and most importantly in building positive school SPIRIT. CN Varsity Cheer not only works hard to keep student pride alive, they also promote vocal support of Cardinal Newman sports, are visible ambassadors of CN, and positive motivators of school spirit. They are strong students, leaders, public servants, and athletes. They not only cheer for football but also work hard through the basketball season and beyond. In the future, CN Cheer hopes to keep building a stronger base of support for all our CN teams. Coach Elizabeth Stimmel feels honored to have been part of the rebuilding and shaping of today’s CN cheer program and thanks the amazing CNHS Athletic Department for the abundant support they give to the Cardinal Newman High School cheer program.
Tucker Cullen, a sophomore at CN, is one of 3 finalists for the 2015 Adidas Outdoor Inspiration award in the "youth" category!! He was nominated due to his cycling trip across America last summer where he met with hundreds of scouts across the country inspiring them to get outdoors. Congratulations, Tucker!

JUNIOR & SENIOR RETREAT JUNIOR RETREAT: JANUARY 25-26 & FEB. 22-23, 2015
SENIOR RETREAT: "IMMERSE" FEBRUARY 1-3, MARCH 8-10 AND APRIL 19-21, 2015
The Junior Class Retreat served to strengthen the friendship and community of the Cardinal Newman Class of 2016. The students discussed and shared about who they truly are - inside and out. On Sunday morning members of the junior class arrived at Cardinal Newman and the retreat began with mass celebrated by Fr. Moses Brown (January) and Fr. Raúl Lemus (February). Students met their small groups and enjoyed lunch together before departing for CYO Camp in the beautiful redwood forest of Occidental. The groups took advantage of the nice weather and spent the afternoon hiking. Sunday evening was spent with students sharing about their identities and experiences through games, projects and activities. The students enjoyed being able to relax, unwind and enjoy time together in play. Each small group, led by a volunteer faculty or staff member, served as a safe place for students to share and go deeper in discussion. The evening culminated in a prayer remembering all those who have touched our lives. Senior students from the Campus Ministry class shared their experiences with the juniors and led a question and answer time. Monday began with time for the students to go out on their own to contemplate and pray in the beautiful natural surroundings. Over the course of the rest of the day the students discussed their stances on a variety of issues and took time for relaxation. The retreat ended with an affirmation activity before the students headed home refreshed and a more closely bonded class community.
Our Senior Class Retreats took place at Westminster Woods Camp and Conference Center, both in the beautiful redwood forest of Occidental. The theme of the retreat was "Immerse", a call to the seniors to follow the example of Christ and fully immerse themselves in the journey of life. The students were encouraged to reflect on the meaning and purpose of their lives and spend some time in self-discovery as well as community building. Volunteer teachers and faculty poured much time, attention, and care into the students. They led small groups, gave witness talks to the large group and were wonderful, guiding presences to the seniors. The students began their retreat Sunday at Cardinal Newman when they met their small groups, competed in trivia, and enjoyed lunch together before departing for the retreat center. The students arrived at the redwoods early enough to take advantage of the beautiful weather and hike with their small groups. That evening, following games and dinner, the students began to immerse themselves into the theme of the retreat as they took time to name the values and people that make up their foundations. An evening prayer in which each person shared a personal goal or expectation for the retreat set the tone and reinforced the theme of Immerse. Monday brought time to spend outdoors in prayer and building trust with peers as they took turns guiding each other blindfolded. Later that afternoon, an exercise in communication through deep questions with their trust walk partners helped form bonds between classmates. The evening culminated in a Reconciliation Service, led by chaplain, Fr. Raúl Lemus, a campfire and a very special night prayer tradition. Tuesday after lunch the students reflected on their future selves and their retreat experience. The March retreat was an unusually small group of students which afforded the opportunity for an excursion to nearby St. Teresa of Ávila Church and Doran Beach. The February and April groups particularly enjoyed affirming each other one by one and playing under the redwood canopy together. Students returned to their day to day lives refreshed after spending some time in prayer, personal reflection, and community with classmates.

COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICE LEARNING India-By Gabrielle Singler Jordan Foster, Alissa Wankmuller, Alex Dennen, and Gabrielle Singler worked hand-in-hand with Love Manifest throughout the year. We had the wonderful opportunity to travel throughout India from February 1323. There were many different aspects to the service work that we did. Jordan Foster and Alissa Wankmuller teamed up to fundraise for 2 clean water wells in rural villages. Alex Dennen raised money to build a beautiful church in the village of Raphaelpuram. Gabrielle Singler, along with another, Jeff Kloes, donated enough money to build a rehabilitation center for special needs kids; a part of a small group called Isaiah 35. Overall, we could not have asked for a more perfect project and organization to work with. The love and appreciation that grew in our hearts will always be there; along with all of the wonderful memories of the trip. The trip made us all realize that we really do not need materialistic items to be happy. We don't think we have ever seen a happier group of people even though they truly live in some of the poorest villages in the world. We would not exchange this opportunity and experience of seeing so many exuberant smiles for anything in the world. We will hold on to these moments dearly for the rest of our lives.
Students help to build a school in Nicaragua
Nicaragua Trip-By Maddie Wilson Over spring break, from April 4th to April 13th, my partners Jordan Farber and Gunnar Walker and I led a group of 21 students and chaperones to Nicaragua. While in Nicaragua, our group helped to build a preschool, while also starting the foundation for a kitchen and constructing a new water system to bring clean water to the school. We had the opportunity to interact with the community by working alongside them at the work site and also experiencing the culture through guided tours and other cultural interactions. The goal of our project was to establish a median in which the future generation of Nicaragua can obtain an education and our trip gave us the means to achieve that goal.
Vietnam Trip-By Avery Roux Seniors Avery Roux and Sam Krauskopf traveled to Vietnam from December 26 until January 9 with CN English Instructor, Eleanor Trent, and her daughter Meredith. When they were there they taught English to the children in the Leprosy Community of Di Linh. Avery and Sam taught basic vocabulary and basic greeting skills. They played games such as bingo and treasure hunts to help these students of Vietnam expand their knowledge of English language and culture. The Cardinal Newman students feel that their time was well spent and it was a wonderful experience for all of them. The Vietnamese children left a big impact on their lives and Avery and Sam couldn’t be more thankful!

DRAMA PRODUCTION
CN DANCE PRODUCTION
THE CARDINAL NEWMAN DRAMATIC ARTS DEPARTMENT SPRING PRODUCTION WAS “IF YOU ARE A DREAMER: AN EVENING OF SHEL SILVERSTEIN”. Shel Silverstein is the author-artist of many beloved books of prose and poetry. He was a cartoonist, playwright, poet, performer, recording artist, and Grammywinning, Oscar-nominated songwriter. Best known for his series of poems such as “Where the Sidewalk Ends” and “The Giving Tree”, director Carl Hamilton adapted many of his poems into a dramatic interpretation for the stage. Audiences were entertained by a Magic Bean Buyer, A Flying Shoe, A Garbage Collector and some Dancing Pants choreographed by Holly Sheen. The Newman players created a place where you wash your shadow and plant diamond gardens, a place where shoes flew, sisters were auctioned off and crocodiles went to the dentist. Shel Silverstein's masterful collection of poems was at once outrageously funny and profound. Irreverent, hilarious and wildly popular, Silverstein’s collection of verse was performed with flair and style by the Newman Thespians before full houses at the Raven Theater in Windsor. Dreamer featured: Samantha Meyer, Alexa Pappas, Emily Jaffe, Clarissa Chambers, Leonette Miksis, Chris Lin and Laura Jacobson. The Dramatic Arts Department will finish its 2014-2015 season with its annual Improv Show in early May. Looking forward to 2015-16 will be a production of the Musical “Godspell” in the Fall.
On December 2nd and 3rd 2014, the Cardinal Newman Dance Program presented “Dance Through Time” at the Sonoma Country Day School in the Jackson Theater. Dance students collaborated with program director, Gabrielle Thompson, in a creative process to produce a contemporary dance show remembering the past decades of the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Music from the 40s like “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” by the Andrew Sisters and other greats like music from Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Run DMC and Michael Jackson, entertained the audience with nostalgia and modern interpretations of the past. In the Spring production, the dance program presented “The World of OZ”.

This Spring the Cardinal Newman Ensemble has been focusing on professional recording. As computer and digital technology becomes more a part of our lives one of the great developments is that now musicians can make professional-sounding recordings without having to step foot into a recording studio. Thanks to a generous donation from Henry Trione and the Trione Family, the Cardinal Newman music department has acquired various recording tools such as microphones, stands, cables, a multi-track digital audio interface, an electronic drumset, several guitars and other instruments, and an assortment of tools for music making and recording. Through recording, the students are able to refine their parts in detail that would not be possible through live performing alone.
Thank you to our guests whose generosity allowed us to raise over $200,000 this evening! Mark your calendars and plan to attend next year's Legacy Gala on Saturday, March 19, 2016!

Non-Profit Organization
The band is rehearsing for two performances; one at the school talent show, “So Show Me” which will take place on April 24th and the other is a concert for the opening act for the Drama Class at their spring performance on May 6th. The music students have been learning and recording songs such as “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes, “Polaroid” by Imagine Dragons and “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy. These are current songs that the students enjoy listening to. Learning to perform and recording them is all a part of becoming well-rounded musicians and students.
