"Success is peace of mind which is direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable." -John Wooden  

Dear Notre Dame Families:

Go Notre Dame!!! Next week Tuesday, October 16th will be Spirit Day in celebration of the end to a successful Fall sports season!!!  Over the weekend the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade volleyball teams will be playing at Notre Dame Academy for their final tournament of the season. The last football game (Notre Dame 7th grade team vs. Oneida 7th grade team) of the year will be after school on October 16th.  Students and families are encouraged to attend the volleyball tournament and/or football game to cheer on the Raiders.  The football game begins at 4:00 and will be on our home field behind the East De Pere middle school. All students are invited to wear their Spirit shirts or favorite jersey to school (Pre-k through 8) Students who participated in a Fall sport are encouraged to wear their game jersey to school.  

Do any of you know what a QR code is? If you said no your in good company because neither did I until I found out what Mrs Laehn was teaching in technology class.  A QR code is a small square black shape with a unique pattern. You may have seen QR codes in the newspaper, in a magazine, or on T.V. The codes can be used to place text messages, url addresses etc.  Mrs. Laehn is having her students use the QR codes to create book reviews.  Students are using electronic devices, such as an I-pad or smart phone, to scan the codes and read a book review.  After reading the book review students can decide if they want to check out the book.   How cool is that?
