🎉 Freshman Faith Day Recap 🌟

Last week, our freshmen took a deeper dive into their spiritual life at Memorial during Freshman Faith Day! 🙏 They had the opportunity to explore and strengthen their faith, while also forming stronger bonds with their classmates. It was a day full of reflection, growth, and unity as the Class of 2028 continues their journey together. 💙

Happy Labor Day, Memorial Family!

Today, we honor the dedication, hard work, and contributions of all workers who make our community strong. Whether you're enjoying a well-deserved day off or continuing to serve others, take a moment to reflect on the spirit of perseverance and commitment that drives us all.

Wishing everyone a safe and restful Labor Day! 💪🐅

🟢 Did You Know? 🟢

Memorial High School has a deep-rooted connection with the Brothers of Holy Cross, the same order that founded Notre Dame University. Back in the day, our football team proudly wore hand-me-down uniforms from Notre Dame, sporting the iconic green and white jerseys!

To celebrate 100 years of tradition and our historic ties, you'll notice a lot of Kelley green in our 100-year series games this year. It's a nod to our past and our enduring connection with Notre Dame and the Brothers of Holy Cross. 💚

🎨🌍 Spanish 3 Takes on La Tomatina! 🇪🇸🍅

Our Spanish 3 students recently dove into the colorful chaos of La Tomatina, the world-famous tomato-throwing festival in Buñol, Spain! After reading an article in Spanish about this vibrant tradition, they brought the experience to life with a fun color-by-number activity based on what they learned.

Who says you're too old to enjoy a bit of coloring? Learning a language has never been so much fun! 🎉📚

🛠️ A Special Thanks to the University of Evansville and the Friends of the Peters-Margedant House 🏠

Our Memorial High School engineering class had an incredible opportunity to visit the Peters-Margedant House on the campus of the University of Evansville. This unique, historic home provided our students with valuable insights into architectural innovation and design.

We are so grateful for the warm welcome and the chance to explore this remarkable piece of history. Thank you for inspiring the next generation of engineers and architects!

Thank you to the Most Reverend Bishop Siegel for celebrating Mass with us today at Saint Benedict Cathedral. Diocese of Evansville Catholic Schools

Thank you to Miller’s Catering Barbecue for setting-up shop for us on this beautiful August day!

🌟 A Memorable Day at Memorial High School! 🌟

Today, we gathered as a school community for an inspiring assembly where we introduced our new core values and mission statement to our students. Rooted deeply in our strong connection with the Brothers of Holy Cross, these values will guide us as we continue to build on our legacy.

Our mission statement—Reitz Memorial High School calls each student to be more like Christ through the formation of the whole person while instilling a love for lifelong learning, service to others, and our rich traditions—reflects our commitment to nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, and moral growth of every student.

We also unveiled our Holy Cross Core Values:

Trust in God's Providence
Educating Hearts and Minds
Integrity
Excellence
Zeal
Service
Self-Discipline
Family

Together, we are more than just a school; we are a family dedicated to living out these values every day. Let's continue to strive for greatness in all we do, inspired by our faith and traditions.

🚀 Engineering in Action at Memorial High School! 💧

Our Intro to Engineering students are taking their learning to the next level—literally! This week, they got hands-on with water guns to test horizontal launch velocities. 🌊📐

By measuring the distance and time it takes for the water to hit the target, students are calculating the speed and trajectory of their "projectiles." It's a splash-tastic way to bring physics and engineering principles to life! 🧑‍🔧📊

REMINDER! TONIGHT!

🎉 Today, Memorial High School joyfully celebrated the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary with our first all-school Mass of the school year! 🙏✨

We gathered as one community to honor Mary and to seek her intercession for a blessed and fruitful school year. A heartfelt thank you to Father Forler for leading us in this beautiful Mass and for guiding us in faith and spirit.

As we journey through this centennial year, we are reminded of the strong foundation of faith that has sustained our school for 100 years. Here's to a year filled with grace, growth, and unity! 💙💛

This summer, seven seniors attended the Holy Cross Conference for Student Leadership in South Bend at Holy Cross College. Holy Cross schools from various states in the US gathered together to learn from the Brothers and to share experiences with each other.
This conference was a kick off event for a group of students who will lead their classmates this year in learning about and living out our newly adopted core values. The group met this week to begin the good work they will do this year! Look out for some new traditions and reinvigorated traditions that will highlight our Holy Cross Values!
