The Crowning of Mary is a holy and beautiful tradition that takes place every spring. Each year, the entire NDA community comes together to celebrate the Crowning of Mary as the Queen of Heaven and Earth. This is a special time for the senior class because they serve in roles such as the Crowning Court, Senior Ensemble, Flower Arrangers, TCB Escorts, and Prayer Leaders. Photo by Impulsesport.net

Raising Awareness of Black Maternal Health

Black Women at Higher Risk for Complications

Cece Crandall

In such a developed country like the United States, a safe birth for mothers should be a given, something to rely on. Mothers face this, but Black women suffer from maternal mortality the most.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, the U.S. maternal mortality rate is 32.9 deaths for every 100,00 births. This number is higher compared to other developed countries of similar wealth statuses which shows that there is a problem.

A maternal death is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and the site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes.”

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), compared to one White woman, Black women are 2.9 times more likely to die from maternal mortality. This is due to racial disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality.

Many see implicit bias as the major contributing factor of the issue.

Social Studies teacher Mrs. Susie Huffman defines implicit bias as an unconscious attitude that impacts our views, understanding and beliefs, which can contribute to stereotypes and influence behavior.

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), implicit bias can be based on experiences in society or even taught. People can act on these perceptions without even realizing it, too.

There is a visible effect from implicit bias and discrimination in the healthcare world that can be seen through the dismissal of Black women’s voiced concerns and needs.

This issue is further perpetuated due

“A person knows their body best. Listening and acting upon their concerns during or after pregnancy could save a life.” - Dr. Wanda Barfield, Director of CDC’s Division of Reproductive Health

The CDC’s Hear Her campaign seeks to raise awareness of urgent maternal warning signs during and after pregnancy and improve communication between patients and their healthcare providers.

 Increase awareness of serious pregnancy-related complications and warning signs.

 Empower people who are pregnant and postpartum to speak up and raise concerns.

 Encourage support systems to engage in important conversations.

 Provide tools for pregnant and postpartum people and healthcare professionals to better engage in life-saving conversations.

to how COVID affected the healthcare world. Women were afraid to come into hospitals and had large amounts of anxiety. The limited doctor visits and staffing shortages were just a physical fear, there are many mental ones as well.

“A study showed that women felt that COVID-19 separated them from their families and put a strain on interpersonal relationships. An increased fear of catching the new disease weakened support systems and increased dependency on providers that mothers did not feel close to.

“Lack of support during the delivery or labor process isolates mothers and contributes to their concerns being disregarded,” NCBI reports.

Even more affluent and popular Black women struggle with this. In an interview on the Today show in August 2022, celebrity Serena Williams spoke about how she was not given a requested treatment for her pregnancy in 2017.

After she had given birth, she experienced a blood clot on her

lungs and had to advocate for herself to nurses and doctors to get treatment.

“No one was really listening to what I was saying,” she said. This is a prime example of how even the more powerful and affluent Black women are still not listened to or believed when dealing with their own bodies.

African American children are also more likely to be born premature compared to other ethnicities in the U.S.

The percentage for Black premature births is 14.8% compared to 12.7% for Native Hawaiian/ Other Pacific Islanders, 10.2% for Hispanics, and 9.5% for White people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

To remedy these societal and medical problems, health professionals need to be made aware of their implicit biases and listen more to their patients.

The Black maternal mortality rate is something that can be decreased now with increased awareness of bias and so many technological advances.

Renovations Bring New Look, More Safety

Sammie Paris

With summer fast approaching, all affiliated with Notre Dame Academy should be jumping for joy at the renovations that will soon be taking place.

The main focus of the renovations is overall safety, security, and privacy for those inside the Notre Dame Academy building.

These renovations will begin Mid-June and go until Mid-January, meaning students and faculty/staff should expect some changes to the building at the start of the school year.

A focal point of the renovations is ensuring the building is up to code with the Fire Department, as well as incorporating more overall safety precautions. This consists of adding a fire suppression system to the building and a secure vestibule to the main entrance.

The fire suppression system will not affect or require any renovations to be done in the Dining Commons, and the secure vestibule system will act as an addition to the main building, meaning nothing will be torn down.

This secure vestibule will serve as a ‘holding area’ for guests when they arrive at NDA, creating a boundary between guests and those inside.

If said guests need to enter the building, they will then be transported into a beautiful art gallery, featuring pieces made by students.

This art gallery will also honor one of NDA’s beloved students, Mady Niles, as her name will forever be part of NDA and the ‘Mady Niles Art Gallery.’

Another cause for celebration is the counselors moving into the main building. While the counselors themselves are moving, the Counseling Center itself will not be, and plans are being made to change the center into something special, rather than just tearing it down.

With the counselors moving inside, offices will now extend all along the back wall of the main entrance area. Those who currently have offices in the main entrance area will remain there.

Each counselor will still have their own separate office, as well as a ‘lounge’ office students can wait in.

It was critical to those in charge of renovation plans that the counselors be moved into an adequate space in the main building.

“We wanted to ensure girls had easier access to mental health services, as well as our faculty and staff members. We also wanted to add an extra office which would then allow students with the opportunity to have some privacy if they need to wait to meet with someone,” President Mrs. Kim Grilliot said.

In this same fashion, two conference rooms will be added to the floor plans, one in the main office area, and the other near Fitz Commons, again, to ensure there is minimal interaction and disruption for students and faculty/staff working.

Heading over to the Fitz Commons area, a large corridor will be opened up, meaning students will not need to walk through Lob-

by D to enter or exit the building; instead, they will just use the corridor.

The Spirit Shop will be in the same location in Lobby D, but it will become double the size. This means the green room will be seeing a slight down-scale, but renovations for the arts are coming as well.

“I am most excited to see a new conference room that will be more accommodating,” Administrative Assistant Mrs. Kathy Dunning said.

Other items on the agenda that will not be included in this round of renovations will be taking place next summer.

This list includes building a greenhouse, although the location is still unknown, improvements to the outdoor athletic fields, including a drainage system, and improvements to the music room to allow for easier collaboration with technology.

“I am most excited for the greenhouse to be built because it gives us new research opportunities,” senior Ella Kyle said.

An entire team of people have worked hard to plan these renovations that will allow students and faculty/staff to be proud of where they go to school, as well as feel safe and protected while in the building.

Spring Play Delivers Laughs on Politics

Abigail O’Neil

Students performed the political satire The Election, written by Don Zolidis and directed by Ms. Kathryn Grilliot ’09, on April 26, 27, and 28. This comedy presents a lighthearted take on politics, criticizing both sides of the political debate, as well as the involvement of Political Action Committees (PACs).

After a scandal forced the previous president to resign, the role of student class president is up for grabs. In an attempt to add to his college applications, high school student Mark Davenport, played by sophomore Izzy LaPlant, runs for student body president thinking he will easily secure the win. With the want to eliminate the football program and serve vegetarian meals, opponent Christy Martin, played by Olivia Fall, starts her campaign with damaging ad attacks in hopes to secure votes.

The involvement of PACs with seem-

ingly unlimited funds creates an even more tense race as the two battle for the win. The mystery of who wins the coveted job of student body president can only be answered by watching the play.

“The show has a lot of really funny moments, but I’m especially looking forward to people seeing the political advertisements interspersed throughout the show. I look absolutely ridiculous in most of them,” Izzy said.

Students had a chance to view one of these advertisements, as well as part of Izzy’s speech in one of the debates at the Arts Assembly and certainly the laughs were heard throughout the PAC.

This show is riddled with unexpected twists that are sure to leave an audience captivated. Zolidis creates a good balance with his comedy to get

across a larger theme while still remaining entertaining.

“The show is so funny, and the cast and crew worked very hard. We were so excited to share this amazing show with everyone!” Producer Mrs. Jean (Christ) Walker ‘82 said.

Aside from the actors seen on stage, there are many members of the crew working behind the scenes to make the show run smoothly. Some of these roles include student director, tech booth, set makers, etc.

“Mrs. Johns walked up to me one day and asked if I wanted to be in the spring play. I said yes because it sounded awesome, and I absolutely did not know what I was in for, but I wouldn’t give it up for anything,” Student Director and sophomore Monica Marvet said.

May Brings Time to Focus on Health

Mental Health Awareness Month

Abigail O’Neil

Mental health is important to living a productive, happy life.

“Your minds may now be likened to a garden, which will, if neglected, yield only weeds and thistles; but, if cultivated, will produce the most beautiful flowers, and the most delicious fruits.” ~ Dorothy Dix

Dix worked to fight the stigma that mental illnesses were unable to be cured. She played a key role in founding or bettering more than 30 hospitals for the treatment of the mentally ill.

The month of May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. Throughout May, various organizations work to spread information and share resources to destigmatize needing help.

Teaching teenagers and children the importance of mental health, helps the next generation feel comfortable talking openly about their struggles and seeking help.

The 2022 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report found nearly 20 percent of children in the U.S. have a mental, developmental or behavioral disorder.

Poor mental health can be experienced by anyone, including those without a mental illness. Needing help is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, it is admirable when those in need seek treatment as they are working on bettering themselves.

Physiatrists, phycologists, therapists and even primary care physicians can offer support. While not all mental illnesses are curable, there are ways to help manage them so that they do not impact quality of life.

Aside from in-person support, there are resources like helplines, such as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration helpline 1-800-662-HELP (4357), as well as self-help tools, such as those offered by Mental Health America and various other online resources.

NDA’s counselors are available to support students if needed, so do not be afraid to visit them. They are here to help.

National Physical Fitness and Sports Month

Payton Shively

Parents often throw their children into sports for physical activity, but as their children grow up, more benefits start to arise than just exercise.

As teenagers grow older, they start to realize that the sport they enjoy is teaching them something bigger than how to play their sport. Sports can teach many valuable life lessons and skills that are used in everyday life.

For many athletes, their sports are more than just a physical activity; it's their happy place. A place to let their true emotions be shown. They get to play a game they are so passionate about with people they are so connected to on the team.

While participating in sports, athletes learn to socialize with others, understand the importance of mental and emotional health, and manage their academics alongside their sports.

According to health.gov, 73 percent of parents believe that sports benefit their child’s mental health. Athletes often are better at teamwork, social skills and social responsibility.

Sports help shape athletes into becoming more confident in themselves, not only on the field but also in the real world.

By starting to play at a young age, athletes are introduced to stress, anxiety and pressure. As they get older, the pressure of performing perfectly only gets more challenging to deal with. Overcoming anxiety and pressure is just another step in becoming a successful athlete.

By learning to deal with emotions and anxiety levels on the playing field, athletes then can learn to apply it in everyday life.

While participating in sports, athletes build friendships that can last a lifetime. Athletes spend so much time with their teammates, whether it's at practice, games, or a tournament. The team can start to feel like a family and a safe place for them.

Editor’s Corner

And that’s a wrap on my time here as NDA’s Editor of The Vista. It has been the most amazing two years, and I cannot thank everyone enough for supporting and reading the articles we diligently wrote just for you.

I have been lucky enough to be working alongside great people who have made this job the best experience. However, The Vista could not be what it is without our fearless leader. Mrs. Sells—thank you for keeping myself and this newspaper together; I could not have done it without you.

I am thrilled to see what’s in store for The Vista, and wish nothing but the best to its future reporters. Maybe I’ll be back one day ;)

Roll Eags and Love Always, Sammie

Everyday Can Be Spirit Day

For such a spirited school as Notre Dame Academy, why are students not allowed to wear their pride during the school day?

When designing spirit wear for a club or organization that is within the realm of Notre Dame’s jurisdiction, some rules must be followed.

A piece of spirit wear cannot have more than three colors. It must be school appropriate and representative of NDA in both style and print. The spirit wear must be approved by supervisors and staff.

All of these rules are in place for good reason and make plenty of sense. What doesn’t make sense is why students are not allowed to wear the spirit wear during the normal school day. Even if students were only allowed to wear their shirts and sweaters on the days that they had the meeting for the clubs, it would be an improvement.

Implementing rules such as these would also be a good way

of advertising clubs. Students would be able to see the cool spirit wear that their peers are wearing and can ask questions about joining or what the club is about.

Another factor is how expensive spirit wear tends to be. A single shirt can go for $20, and a pullover costs even more! There is more incentive to spend that amount of money and support the clubs, as well as the school, if there is a time for those items to be worn whilst participating in the clubs they were created for.

Being able to be comfortable during the day is highly valuable for student mental health as well as focus. When clothes are uncomfortable for any reason, it tends to be distracting, like a constant itch that is impossible to scratch.

Allowing for students to have a bit of a reprieve from this annoyance will decrease distractions and will allow for more focus to be put into school work.

Cheers and Jeers

Cheers to the Class of 2024!! May your success be as big as your dreams!

Cheers to summer break just around the corner.

Stop Online Trolling

Izzy LaPlant

We live in an era where each and every flaw can be shared to all corners of the world in an instant. The civilian oversharing and celebrity gossip that fills social media give the illusion that private information is everyone’s business. Cyberbullying, also known as trolling, has become a normal aspect of being online; this should not be tolerated.

When Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, had not made a public appearance, the internet was flooded with crude theories about what happened to her. People were suggesting that she was recovering from plastic surgery or waiting for an unfortunate haircut to grow out.

For those on the internet garnering views and likes at her expense, the reality of Princess Kate’s situation should be a point of shame. The Royal Family revealed that she was undergoing treatment for cancer. You never know what goes on in someone’s life, especially on the internet.

Cyberbullying does not just pertain to mean-spirited memes. It can elicit mental instability and have dire consequences.

For Megan Meier that consequence was fatal. In the start of the 2006 school year, Megan created a MySpace account, where she quickly became online friends with a supposed boy named Josh. “Josh” was actually the mother of one of Megan’s classmates; she lured Megan into a fake relationship and then abused her verbally, all on social media. Megan took her own life on October 17, 2006, less than three weeks before her fourteenth birthday.

Cheers to sleeping in!

Jeers to the Apple commercial for the latest iPad as it shows human creativity being crushed.

Jeers to the doublebrood of cicadas arriving this summer.

Jeers to the alleged toxic environment that may have led Miss USA and Miss Teen USA to resign.

As an avid supporter of free speech, I feel compelled to state that cyberbullying crosses the line of our first amendment rights due to the danger it can cause. An incitement to violence is a felony because damage can ensue, and cyberbullying is wrong for that same reason.

Since the dawn of social media, suicide rates have alarmingly risen. According to the National Library of Medicine, around 81% of young Americans use social media and suicide has become the second highest cause of death.

Please think before you make a comment or post online. Both can never be fully deleted once they have been put forth, and you can never know how they will affect other people or your own future. The most elementary lesson says it best: treat others the way you want to be treated.

Eagles Graduate, Prepare for Futures

Sammie Paris

Notre Dame Academy has been home to Senior Eagles for the past four years, if not more, and now, they are ready to fly from the nest.

While the graduates head off to start their lives, whether that be 20 or 500 miles away, NDA will always be home, composed of memories that students can share with each other for years to come.

“I am so incredibly proud of how far our class has come. From rallying for tug -of-war contests to having One Direction’s just dance ‘That’s What Makes You Beautiful’ memorized, our class has made some memorable moments.

“Walking into high school with masks on created the formation of walls between each person from the start. I can confidently say we broke down those walls and formed bonds that we will carry with us for decades to come. Our differences have brought us closer, and our memories will remind us as we venture on our own individual pathways of life. Good luck to you all, and I can’t wait to see what each of you will accomplish in the future,” Senior Class President Ella Peppel said.

Seniors began high school in the incredibly wary time of Covid, creating barriers between each other and in student’s own minds. It is critical for seniors to remember they are destined for greatness.

“To each of you in the Class of 2024, honor your calling. God has called each of you to something bigger and better in our society. To all of the Class of 2024, thank you for being you! Together you made NDA a better place, now go out and make our world a better place. I have full confidence in all of you," President Mrs. Kim Grilliot said.

Seniors must also remember that they do not need to have their lives all figured out right now. Countless statistics ring true in saying most incoming freshmen will change their majors and future plans.

“You don't have to have it all figured out at once,” Senior Student Council CoModerator Mrs. Kelly Wood said.

In a similar fashion, showcasing they are truly sisters, Senior Student Council CoModerator Mrs. Kate Caventer said, “Take a class over something that interests you but is completely unrelated to your major. Learning is fun! Don't let degree requirements and your GPA detract from this unique opportunity to do something different. You'll be a happier, more wellrounded person for it.”

It is an exciting time for Senior Eagles as they have the opportunity to reminisce on past memories, while thinking about future plans.

“At freshman orientation when we were all gathered in the gym, nervous and filled with anticipation, a teacher commented on

how our class ‘felt different.’ Our four years at NDA certainly haven’t been short of ‘different.’ We have battled through the adversity of a global pandemic together, and we’ve gotten closer because of that. I am proud of each and every one of you!

“It has been incredible getting to know you all these past four years and be able to share in the laughs and tears. I know that we will go on to do great things in the future. We may not initially appear different, but it is our love and passion that sets us apart. Thank you, Class of 2024. I can’t wait to see what you all accomplish,” Executive Student Council President Natalie Chryst said.

As seniors are looking towards the future, they must remember that while it may seem scary, they always have each other to lean back on.

“A little corny, but… The Class of ‘24 will truly do more! You care about your community. You smile at your classmates and teachers; you volunteer without hesitation. You play hard in athletics. You sing and play music, and you get involved in opportunities that align with your goals. I believe the Class of ‘24 will not only succeed in college but will be a class who will stand by each other in hard times, as well as give back to their community throughout their adulthood. Blessings on your journey. I will miss you,” Principal Mrs. Andrea (Zobler) Zimmerman ’96 said.

Roving Reporter: What Is the Best Lesson You Learned Throughout Your Time at NDA?

Sammie Paris

“I love this class so much and have so many! I’d say my favorite memory is the TCB awards I did at the end of last school year. It was something I’ll never forget watching the little family we started every day with celebrating and appreciating each other. I’ll miss all the seniors, but especially Meek’s Minions <3” - Ms. Abigail Meek

“Playing frisbee football during junior retreat!” - Dr. Beth Corrigan

“Gosh, there's so many......I really got to know many current Seniors well during their sophomore year, as I had 5 US History classes. It was great getting to know so many of you early on. My fav memory from this year was Field Day with my TCB! Everyone was enthusiastic and competitive and even though we didn't win, we had a great time! You're all a hard working, spirited bunch, and it's been a joy having all of you here at NDA! The Class of 2024 holds a special place in my heart and I can't wait to see what you all do in the future! Don't forget to register to vote before you graduate:-)” - Mrs. Amy Kasprzak

“The best lesson that I have learned is to never be scared to try new things and that every challenge is an opportunity to push myself” - V Goyal

“I have learned to value each person’s uniqueness and purpose!” - Anna Kelly

“Learning how to ask for help is crucial and nothing to be embarrassed about! Everyone here truly wants to help and will support you with whatever you need :)” - Addie Kunos

“The best lesson I’ve learned at NDA is to stay involved and engaged in as many activities as you can, as well as cherish the memories you make throughout all four years.” - Lauren Heerdegen

“The best lesson I learned at NDA was how important it is to reach out to other people that are outside of your circle. I have met so many amazing people through leaving my comfort zone and gained so much confidence with this supportive community!” - Piper Eppard

“I definitely think the best lesson I have learned during my time at NDA is that not everything is set in stone. Life can change, so never feel like you are trapped in one place. Live life the way you want to, not how people think you should.”Audrey Wittkop

“I loved playing Spoons with them on Junior Retreat and watching them bust a move on Just Dance during Kairos.” - Mrs. Lindsey Krile

“I have a lot of favorite memories of how so many different seniors have stepped up into leadership roles. However, my favorite Senior Class memory is how all the seniors cheered for the group of seniors that were competing in the tug-of-war during the March Plaidness finals.” - Mr. Travis Galloway

“My favorite memory has been all of the silly slideshows my students have put together for their class projects! I love when students add their own flare!” - Mrs. Amanda Mariasy

“I don’t have just one favorite single memory, I am blessed to have so many! The chats at my window telling me about how your test went, your game last night, prom, work, your bad day, your great day, what college you are thinking about and the shout outs when you walk by my window. These are all favorite memories I will keep forever! Congrats Seniors! I will miss you!” - Mrs. Laura Firsdon

“My favorite memory would be being a part of the "I'm Just Ken" dance at the Variety Show while only knowing about 10% of the choreography..” - Mrs. Lindsay Sutton

“The biggest lesson I learned was that even when everything seemed hard, and it felt like I couldn’t catch a break, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. NDA gave me so many people to lean on throughout my four years here. It is a sisterhood of girls that are all here for each other no matter what. NDA really did teach me to find comfort in people around me.” - Tia Maly

“The best lesson I learned through NDA is to appreciate the little things in life. Looking back on my six years, the simple laughs shared with friends at lunch and getting a smile from someone in the hallway that I haven’t talked to in a while are what come to mind. High school feels like a long four years and there’s many ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade any of it, because on the down days is when I found my truest friends. I will remember the simple things the most.” - Megan Sturgeon

“If you don't know it now, you can know it later!” - Emi Rindler

“One of the best lessons I learned at NDA was the importance of sisterhood and being supportive of one another! NDA girls always help to keep up such a positive and empowering environment!”Asia Walthall

“I’d say that the best lesson I’ve learned while at NDA would be to never be afraid to talk to new people, because meaningful friendships can form after just one conversation!” - A’Nyah Woodard
