HUMAN PERFORMANCE DEPARTMENT
        — OVERVIEW —
     T     his year marks the launch of the Cardinal Newman
           Human Performance Department. The Human
      Performance Department (formerly the Physical Education
      Department) is dedicated to the development of the whole
      student: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Programs
      within the department are interdisciplinary by nature and
      allow students to explore their sport and physical activity
      experience from a holistic perspective. Human Performance
      classes foster a positive learning environment which
      includes an appreciation of all cultures and respect for all
      persons. Coursework is designed to promote critical thinking,
      creativity, leadership and academic honesty.

      So far the Human Performance Department has rolled out
      two new programs this year: the Human Performance Activity
      Series and the Human Performance Speaker Series. The
      Human Performance Activity Series provides opportunities
      for regular physical activity to our entire Cardinal Newman
      community during our period of remote learning. We offer
      Zoom Activity Classes several days a week, both before
      and after school. Our Activity Classes include Body Weight
      Strength & Conditioning, Flexibility & Core Strength and
      Pilates. Classes are run as a part of our PE Course Curriculum,
      but they are open to all Cardinal Newman students.

      The Human Performance Speaker Series provides
      students with an opportunity to learn from guest speakers’
      experiences with, and reflections on, a variety of topics in the
      field of Human Performance, including Sport & Social Justice,
      Sport & Spirituality, Careers in Sport and more. Our Speaker
      Series Events take place every other Thursday at 7pm via
      Zoom. Like the Activity Series, the Speaker Series is offered
      as a part of the Human Performance Department curriculum
      but it is open to all Cardinal Newman students.

      Students can access our Activity Series and Speaker Series
      Schedules and corresponding Zoom links by visiting our
      Human Performance Department website. We look forward to
      finding new and creative ways to provide our students with a
      deeper understanding of the field of Human Performance!

                                                                         DECEMBER 2020 • TRINITY MAGAZINE   15

         FRESHMAN FIELD DAYS
         SPORTS CONDITIONING CAMPS SERIES

         A    new multi-session
              sports conditioning
         camp was created at the
         end of the second quarter
         which allowed freshmen
         students to come onto
         campus. The success
         and enthusiasm shown
         by students and coaches
         with regard to our current
         sports conditioning
         program led to the
         creation of these “Field
         Days” for the freshman
         class.

         Freshman Field Days
         seemed like a sensible
         pivot for the class of
         2024, a group who
         hasn’t been able to sit in a Cardinal Newman classroom or
         meet their classmates face to face. The field days allowed
         students to come to campus for exercise, the company of
         their classmates, and fun.

         Teacher and coach Paul Cronin expressed it well . . . he
         said, “Since June, we have witnessed varsity and junior
         varsity student athletes enjoying the experience of being
         together, and thought every freshman would benefit too,
         specifically because they need to be around friends and
         meet their classmates in a safe environment.”

         CN coaches took the lead, along with members of the
         Student Life Committee, in creating a Field Day schedule.
         This looks to be a new tradition of fun for Saturday and
         Friday night events.

          C    ardinal Newman High School prides itself on
               providing a strong community of involvement
          and care to our students. Our mission states that it
          is our goal to “educate students in the wholeness
          of mind, body, and spirit”. This year more than
          ever, it is imperative that we maintain this whole-
          student focus to help our students navigate distance
          learning. As a result, the Wellness Team was formed
          to address the social-emotional needs of students
          given our unique circumstances. The team consists
          of administrators, directors, faculty, and staff, who
          meet regularly to discuss and address wellness
          concerns. The team is working to promote a culture
          of physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional
          wellbeing through many avenues, such as:                 F   ive of Cardinal Newman’s student athletes were

guide and friend. We were blessed to celebrate our
patron saint’s feast day on Oct. 9th with an optional,
in-person, socially-distanced Mass outdoors on
the CNHS campus, celebrated by Bishop Vasa and
attended by families and faculty. In addition to taking
the Frosh and Soph retreats online, we also hosted

      CHRISTIAN SERVICE FROM THE HEART

               D    uring times of crisis, it is important to remember each other in prayer. It is
                    also important to reach out in certain ways to offer care for one another. As
               Christians we are called to follow the example of Jesus and serve those who
               are in need and, in so doing, we are sharing our God given gi fts. Our Patron
               Saint, John Henry Newman contemplated this message in his own life and
               meditations; and in so doing he found it in his heart to write the following words:

                   “God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has
                    committed some work to me which He has not committed to
                  another. I have my mission—I may never know it in this life, but
                    I shall be told it in the next. Somehow I am necessary for His
                   purposes, as necessary in my place as an Archangel in his—if,
                 indeed, I fail, He can raise another, as He could make the stones
                  children of Abraham. Yet I have a part in this great work; I am a
               link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not
                created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall
                 be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while
                         not intending it, if I do but keep His commandments
                                       and serve Him in my calling.”
                           Meditations on Christian Doctrine, Hope in God - Creator

               Since March, the Cardinal Newman community of students, parents, teachers
               and staff have been committed to serving one another through acts of charity.
               The graduates of 2020 were an inspirational example of resilience as they
               completed their senior year strong and service projects as well. This source of
               inspiration has motivated our current students to find virtual and safe ways to
               serve their families and communities. Our partnerships in service continue to
               provide opportunities for our community.

               To kick off the year of service for our CN faculty and staff, we participated in a
               Kindness Walk. We chose a day in early September to go out and do a random
               act of kindness to spread love, goodness and joy! We fed neighborhood
               animals, shared baked goods, picked up trash, delivered gifts to our school
               neighbors, assisted with yard work, helped our CN maintenance crew, just to
               name a few. Sometimes it just takes a small act to brighten someone’s day.
STUDENT LIFE

Catholic Charities has been a wonderful
connection for our students to Zoom into the
Shaw Center Activity Hour for Alzheimer clients.
Our students have been able to assist in creating
activity bags for the clients and provide musical
entertainment over Zoom. Many of our senior
students have found virtual ways to support
local schools such as St. Rose, St. John’s, Riebli
Elementary, Village Charter and Kid Street Charter
by creating video lessons and sharing them with
classroom teachers and students. This has been
a wonderful way to support elementary school
teachers and students during this challenging time
in education.

Our underclass students have been busy going
above and beyond helping their families with
household chores as well as neighbors. In addition,
they have found creative ways to support their
community by donating to causes, writing letters of
inspiration, supporting their churches, creek and
beach clean-ups and much more.

In September, Ms. Mertle and Mrs. Williams created
an opportunity for the CN community to participate
in a Mental Wellness Symposium. Seniors Aidan
Lombardi and Spencer Bowen, along with Mrs.
Christine Lombardi, were Keynote speakers for a
session on Mental Health Awareness and Suicide
Prevention. Aidan and Spencer spoke about their

         CHRISTIAN SERVICE FROM THE HEART
                                   In October, a group of CN students, parents
                                   and teachers helped Farm to Pantry glean an
                                   apple orchard in Sebastopol. Following all social
                                   distancing protocols, the event was a success
                                   and a much-needed break from Zoom classes!
                                   The group harvested 864 pounds of apples,
                                   which provided approximately 3,456 servings to
                                   those in our local community in need.

                                   Students have also been able to host donation
                                   drives asking our community to donate diapers

                                   illnesses. Monetary donations have been made
                                   to a multitude of service projects as well. We
                                   are truly blessed to have a community that
                                   understands and supports the call to service our
                                   world, according to our Church teachings

                                   Another wonderful service event we were able
                                   to host was a Paella Dinner fundraiser. Senior
                                   Flor Castaneda and her family cooked up some
                                   wonderful Paella dinners for CN families who
                                   pre-ordered and drove by to pick up for dinner,
                                   all in support for Flor’s CBSL project working with
                                   the Pad Project, supporting women and young

                                   education in the area of feminine hygiene. Thank
                                   you to everyone for their support.

                                   Senior student Peyton Vice worked on a
                                   Christmas Wreath fundraiser to support her

                                   and we thank everyone for their support.

                                   community, here are a few quotes from the class
                                   of 2021 regarding the importance of serving our
                                   community during difficult times.

“I think it is important to serve our community
during this time because so many people
are struggling, either mentally or physically.
They’ve either experienced the loss of a
loved one, the loss of a job as people are
losing their businesses, the loss of their
home due to the fires, or even the loss of
hope. Because of all the recent events that
have challenged the well beings of millions
of people, I think it is extremely important to
give back to the community. During these
difficult times, it is easy to give up and focus
on yourself. I have realized that now more
than ever is the time to give back.”
- Peyton Vice

“It’s important to serve our community during
this time and all the time because people will
always need help. Everyone in the community
will always have a time in their lives when
they need help and by doing service work
can help them so much. Positive service work
is infectious, when people work together
more and more want to help. And especially
during these times it’s important to be there
for one another.”
- Lauren Alvear

“It is important to serve our community at
this time because people need support now
more than ever. Service can be a form of
inspiration because it pushes other people to
get up and do good deeds in the community
as well.”
- Aidan Lombardi

“It is more important than ever to serve our
communities during this time because our
work can inspire hope in the hopeless, faith
in the faithless, and love in times where love
is lacking. When things are at their worst is
when we need to be at our best.”

                                   everything going on, it inspires people to
                                   do the same. Volunteerism allows people
                                   to take action and help out in challenging
                                   times.”

                                   “Now more than ever our world and our
                                   community needs all the support and love
                                   it can get. Those in need especially need
                                   to know that there are people in the world
                                   who care for them and who want to support
                                   them. A way that I have been recently
                                   serving and giving back to my community
                                   is volunteering for the Food Bank once a
                                   week. It may be entirely unrelated to my
                                   CBSL project, however, service is service
                                   no matter what way, shape, or form. Service
                                   creates a sense of hope to people and
                                   during challenging times, it is especially
                                   important to have hope.”

                                   “Service gives people hope. Now is the
                                   best time and most important time to serve
                                   our communities because there is simply so
                                   much more help needed. As soon as one
                                   does service, it becomes contagious which
                                   allows people to do these acts together.

“I think it is important to serve our
communities during this time because a lot
of people are alone or isolated and need
some sort of connection to their community.
Because of COVID, people can’t do the
social things they normally do and it’s nice
for people to have something that makes
them feel social and connected. Service
can feel like a form of inspiration right now
because currently, the U.S. feels hostile and
very divided so service is a way to bring
people together and find the good in a bad
situation.”
- Reese Lashinski

“It is important to serve our communities
during this time because as a community
we treat each other with respect because
we are close to being family. A lot of
people in the community need help during
this time because 2020 has been like no
other with tons of stress. Service is a form
of inspiration during challenging times
because if high schoolers can do service to
make the community better everybody can
do service to make the community better.”
- Cami Loxely

“It is important to serve our community
always but especially during these times
because you never know what people are
going through or what their lives are like
during these times. Service is a form of
inspiration during these times because we
always need to help people that are putting
their lives on the line to keep us safe during
these times.”
