McCoy was a first round draft pick out of the University of Notre Dame for the Green Bay Packers. He also played for the Oakland Raiders and New York Giants. He gave a talk about the importance of faith and committment in one's life and how they help to inform us and inspire us to make better life choices and be the best men and women we can possibly be. Those attending were Bonnie Broome '11, Annie Sutilla '11, Natalie Cafasso '11, Sarah Heine '11, Paula Bannon '11, Taylor Borsari '11, Eric Sugrue '11, Eric Penipede '11, Jeff Corriea '11, AJ Gallucci '11. |

Drama Club Attends Broadway Show and Workshop
 On Wednesday, November 10, members of Notre Dame's Drama Club took the train to New York City to see the Toni Award winning play, Billy Elliot. Before the show, students had the opportunity to take a Broadway Workshop given by members of the cast of Billy Elliot. During the 90 minute workshop, students learned a song from the show as well as a choreographed dance routine. This was a great way for students to learn first-hand about performing in a musical on Broadway. Students who took part in the annual trip were Corinna Santos '12, Nick Pond '14, Kelsey Senteio '12, Aly Furgiuele '13, Scott Barrese '12, Daniel  Murphy '13, Joseph Gomolson '13, Medjine Jean Jacques '12, Caitlin Bonefant '11, Jessica Harper '11, Michael Lenard '13, Christine Blanchard '13, Megan Riobo '13, Amy Pagliaro '13, and Kaitlyn Orce '13. A special thanks to parent chaperones, Mrs. Pagliaro and Mrs. Murphy. |
