Spain Trip
spainspain
 

During the Easter vacation Mrs. Caitriona Weafer, World Languages teacher, had the great pleasure of accompanying six NDA students on trip to Spain. They explored the Alhambra Palace, had Flamenco lessons from gypsies in a cave, and visited stunning Ronda that is surrounded by a big gorge and spectacular views. In Seville they cycled through the park to see the Plaza de España, climbed to the top of The Giralda Tower (once the tallest building in the world), and walked through the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world. Each place  was stunning in its beauty.  They saw the greatest examples of art, architecture and history in Córdoba, Madrid and Toledo. Thanks to all who made it happen!

 

Diane Rendon, Kaitlin Galonska, Alyxandra Rodriquez, Cassandra Ramirez, Valeria Casilas and Chloe-Symone Alvarado were a credit to NDA and have memories to last a lifetime.

 

Viva España.

The Notre Dame Academy Track & Field team performed well at league prelims and finals.  Athletes qualified in every event for finals except the high jump.  Sophomore Ugochi Ogbunamri is officially the fastest women in the Sunshine League by capturing the title with a blazing 12.15 seconds in the 100 meter dash.  Ugochi also qualified for CIF by placing a close second in the 200 while running injured.  Sophomore Dayna Grundy will be representing NDA at CIF in four events: 100 hurdles, long jump, triple jump and the anchor for the 4 x 100 meter relay team which earlier in the season broke the school record taking first place at the Mt. Sac Relays.  Senior Veronique Davis took third in the shot put and sophomore Tahara Sandfield qualified for CIF as well as the 400 meter dash.  CIF Prelims will be held at Carpinteria High School on Saturday, May 14, 2011
