New Feature: Teacher Spotlight! This Month: Mr. Rominger
New Feature: Teacher Spotlight! This Month: Mr. Rominger
by Donovan Dougherty
Mr. Rominger is our resident history teacher here at Notre Dame. Rominger is known by many names, such as but not limited to Romie or Romulus. As head of our history department, Mr. Rominger is incredibly knowledgeable about all things history related, receiving a BA in history from Lehigh University. Mr. Rominger can be recognized by his famously deep voice or his legendary skills on the tennis courts. In all seriousness, Mr. Rominger is an incredibly down-to-earth and helpful teacher who is always willing to assist anyone whether that be history, tennis, or life in general. I decided to go out into the school and ask our Notre Dame student body what they felt about Mr. Rominger and this was what they came back with.
Kate Welliver, 12th Grade: He’s a very good tennis coach and a really fun teacher and always nice and very supportive. He is very encouraging. I love Mr. Romminger.
Caroline Horton, 11th Grade: Mr. Rominger is super nice and he teaches in a way that I can understand. Everyone gets along with him and he's really chill. He’s a good guy.
Alex Shultz, 10th Grade: He’s knowledgeable, he knows his stuff, he's a genuine guy, and he has a cool life.
ND Epiphany Mass
ND Epiphany Mass
by Donovan Dougherty
Here at Notre Dame we always make sure to celebrate our Catholic Holidays, and this time we celebrated the feast of the Epiphany. The feast of the Epiphany is in celebration of the visiting of the Magi, or the Three Kings/Wise Men, to the Baby Jesus to bring him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Mass was organized by Notre Dame’s Religious Director, Mrs. McCaig. Father John and Deacon Jack presided over the Mass, with assistance from Leah and Molly O’Connell. Readers Isabella Hazleton, Shannon O’Connell, Allie O’Brien, Izzy Griffin, and myself all did a fantastic job of doing the readings and refrains. It is always important that we as students remain respectful of Catholic traditions, and the overwhelming majority of students are. This is not the last of the holy days of obligation this year, but we students will make sure to make it better than the last each and every time.
Remembering Martin Luther King
Remembering Martin Luther King
by Elle Carvellas
This month especially, it is important to remember the great soul and activist that was Martin Luther King, Jr. Even though he was unfortunately taken from us too soon, the impact that he had on our country and the lives he changed will forever be carried on with his legacy. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was one of the greatest civil rights leaders of all time, known for his non-violent protests and compelling speeches. Martin’s peaceful protests were one of the things that set him apart from other leaders and defined his movement as one of love, not hate. One of his most famous quotes is, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.” He was always a firm believer that the way to achieve equality was not through anger and hate towards the people who treated you with prejudice, but to show them how we can all live as brothers and sisters, even if society told us we were different from one another. In one of his great speeches, the “I Have A Dream” speech, he says one of the most popular lines ever written. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.” The best way we can celebrate him this Martin Luther King ,Jr. Day is to remember those words. Remember his dream that we may not judge somebody by their exterior, but by the potential they have to change our world for the better with peace and love.
Celebrating Epiphany
Celebrating Epiphany
by Gavin Meier
The Epiphany Mass celebrates a Christian holiday on January 6. It is a special date for Christians as it celebrates the night the three Wise Men came to visit baby Jesus. It is also the revelation of God through his son Jesus Christ. At Notre Dame, we celebrate the Epiphany by going to Mass and celebrating the three Wise Men visiting and the birth of our Savior.

Midterms!
Midterms!
by Violet Daly
Everyone knows that the dreadful week of midterms is approaching. With this being one of the first years that has not been affected by COVID in a long time, many students are having difficulty re-adapting to normal academic processes. Some tips I can give to help everyone with their midterms this year are to process, practice, and know your learning style. Make a study plan. Many people waste time when they study because they don't have a plan. Use effective study techniques and do what works best for you. Everyone learns a little differently. Last, but not least, it's crucial to take some time to alleviate your stress. Trying to pile everything up and jam everything into one study session will only make you more stressed. Good luck!
