Happy Catholic Schools Week
The NDA community celebrated Mass yesterday as a part of our Catholic Schools Week program. The Mass was concelebrated by Fr. John Girotti, Fr. Mark Mleziva, and NDA’s own Fr. Patrick LaPacz, O. Praem. During his homily, Fr. Girotti stressed the importance of students learning to ask the question “why” as they encountered the world of learning and the experiences of life.
A key part of Catholic schools is this focus on the “why” of things. From our faith traditions the “why” flows from our belief in God and Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. But the Catholic intellectual tradition welcomes the continual interplay of faith and reason as we sort through the tangles that life presents. We do this through the continual community discussions that help us to encounter each other in essential ways that try to uncover the mysteries of each life as it unfolds in the worlds of learning, service, and activities.
This week is a time of great thanksgiving for our schools, the people who populate them, and those who pass on the tradition of learning, questioning, and seeking God’s presence in all we do.
May God bless all NDA families, faculty, staff, benefactors, and alumni.

School Safety Drill - Monday, January 29
As part of our state mandate for school safety & security, we must have one safety drill per month. Our monthly fire drills usually meet this requirement. Due to trends in school safety incidents, our faculty and staff are regularly trained by the Green Bay Police Department to stay current with these new trends and use techniques to keep our students safe if there is a threat to their safety.
For over ten years, Notre Dame Academy staff have been trained on the principles of “Run, Hide, Fight” when a situation threatens the safety of students or staff. “Run, Hide, Fight,” developed through the Department of Homeland Security, empowers students and staff to find safe solutions to their particular circumstances when their safety is threatened until police are on site to neutralize the threat.
Our staff has always engaged our students in informal conversations about these concepts whenever they ask what they would do in a particular circumstance. In the last few years, we have been conducting school safety drills where we formally engage students in a discussion with a staff member on what to do when their safety is threatened. On Monday (January 29), at the beginning of 4th period, we conducted another “Scenario-Based Safety Drill.” Students and staff were given a possible scenario that threatened their safety, and then they discussed possible solutions and options to employ under the circumstances. Administrators and the Green Bay Police Department reviewed their responses to these scenarios. “Scenario-Based Safety Drills” aim to empower and educate students on remaining safe at school and in public.
Our goal at NDA is to provide a safe and secure environment for our students to succeed. As always, if you or your student has questions, please direct them to a member of the Administration.
