Seniors: College App Results and Scholarships

College Application Results

Upon receiving the results of your applications (accepted, etc.), please put the results in Naviance. Info in Naviance is strictly confidential. Putting your results in Naviance is very important because the data populates comparison charts used to measure a student's admission chances. Putting your results in Naviance will greatly help the next class of seniors when they start applying to college. Here is how:

"Colleges I'm applying to"
"Edit"
"Result"
"Save college application"

Scholarships

Now it's time to look for money (scholarships) to pay for college. Look in Naviance - there are over 100 local/national outside scholarships listed. When landing scholarships, please keep track of them. You'll have to list all your scholarships at the end of the year, so keeping track of them now is wise.

Eucharistic Adoration - November 14

November is a month in which we celebrate the lives of the saints and we pray for the souls of our loved ones who have entered into eternal life before us.

One of our "Eucharistic Saints" is St. Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897) who had a deep devotion to the Eucharist even in her short lifetime. St. Therese's love and eucharistic spirituality helped to influence the Church's practice of participating in daily Mass. St. Therese was acutely aware of one's need for Divine help, she prays, "Remain in me as in a tabernacle...if through weakness I sometimes fall, may your Divine Glance cleanse my soul immediately, consuming all my imperfections like the fire that transforms everything into itself."

If St. Therese was aware of her need to allow the Eucharist to shape and transform her, we too should recognize our need for God's Divine Glance to transform our lives through the Blessed Sacrament.

Please consider spending time in prayer with the Eucharist on Monday, November 14, in Notre Dame Academy's St. Norbert Chapel and dare to become a saint! The chapel will be a space to pray with the Eucharist beginning with Mass at 7:20 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

Please sign up using Doodle if you are able to commit to taking some time in silent prayer with our Lord.

College Rep Visits - Week of November 14

Live Virtual Event - November 15

Navigating College Admissions and Financial Aid for First Generation Students: Tuesday, November 15th at 6 p.m.

College students often face many firsts that begin well before they step foot on a college campus. The entire college admissions and financial aid process can seem overwhelming for most students, but especially for students who will be the first in their family to consider going to college. We will be hosting a live event with panelists from the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, On Point for College, and a Sallie Mae Bridging the Dream Scholarship winner.

Join our panelists who will share their expertise and experiences as we answer common questions from students. We'll also show students and families how to create a workable plan to tackle the college admissions and financial aid process.

Click here to register. Space is limited, so please register early!

Athletic Updates

The boys soccer team finished the season as state runner-up, receiving a silver ball for the 3rd year in a row. The Tritons powered through the state semi-final game vs Rhinelander with rain delays, winning 2-1 Friday evening. On Saturday, the rain held off but the wind picked up, making for a tough night of soccer. NDA fell 1-0 to New Berlin Eisenhower in a very contested but exciting game.

The football team made it to the Level 3 round of the playoffs. After traveling 3 hours and 30 minutes to West Salem, the boys held the game to a tie14-14 at halftime. The game was a back and forth battle, but eventually West Salem, ranked #1 in the state, scored a touchdown with 4:43 to go in the game and the Tritons fell short, losing 21-14.

A great run by both teams this past weekend.

As our fall season has now ended, let's take a look below at all of our athletic achievements.
