Our Values

By: Dr. Michael Smith, Superintendent, JPII Schools

“ENDURING” is the one word that sums up the value of Catholic Education for me. At a recent alumni event we discussed the difference between faith formation and character development. Public schools often use character development as a selling point of their community. We embrace the same tenets and are currently using the book The 7 Mind Sets as a scaffold for our character education. The Mind Sets are: Passion First, We Are Connected, 100% Accountable, Attitude of Gratitude, Live to Give, The Time is Now, and Live Your Dreams (Shickler & Waller 2012). By all accounts these are attributes we strive to see in others and especially young adults. People who embody these Mindsets will find success in their lives and surely be the type of people who will add value to society and that is the type of person we strive to help form at all of the JPII Catholic Schools. But, what separates our graduates from others learning in environments steeped in the Mind Sets is our sights on the enduring faith component which is the ultimate goal of Catholic Education. Our community is built on the enduring Catholic Faith. We are focused on providing students with an education that will serve them to “follow Christ in an environment

Our Values cont. guided by the Gospel spirit, as taught by the Catholic Church” (JPII Mission Statement). Our students are reminded of our value statement “We are a community inspiring excellence through faith, learning and service” as it is read during morning Nativity Elementary students on announcements. Peace Patrol We need our students to be excellent in those areas so that they can serve God through serving one another. Our students will fully develop when they can reach towards excellence in all of these areas. What will endure for our students, and endures for community is the focus on Christ and our eternal lives. Character Development and tools like The 7 Mindsets are valuable and important, but they will endure when, like the other areas of curriculum, are integrated with the Catholic Faith. In this edition of the Deacon Newsletter we are providing snapshots of Excellence, Community, Faith, Learning and Service. We will take a look at these values and how our focus on them makes our schools truly unique, blessed and fixed on what endures!

Excellence

by: Randy Nelson, Activities Director, JPII Schools

“Tradition of Excellence” is a phrase we use at Shanley quit often. We talk about “Excellence” in many different ways. “Excellence”, is a part of our Value Statement for the Network. That statement reads, “We are a community inspiring excellence through faith, learning and service.” Excellence can be defined in many different ways. Excellence in the class room, excellence in activities, and excellence in our faith. One area that we have focused on recently at Shanley with our activities is “Excellence in Leadership”. Last

December I had the opportunity to attend the National Athletic Directors Conference in San Antonio, Texas. One of the session I attended was on “Sportsmanship”. In this workshop they spoke about how a student lead leadership group was instrumental in helping improve the “Sportsmanship” of the school. Upon my return from San Antonio we created the “Captains Council” here at Shanley made up of captains from different activities. This group came together with a goal of helping our school spirit and its sportsmanship reach a level of excellence. These leaders were able to inspire excellence in our student body to a new level of positive cheers and even parent participation showing our school spirit. One event that was led by this group that stands out in my mind took place at Fargo South when our students collaborated with the Fargo South students in “opposite night”. The students of Shanley dressed in Fargo South colors and Fargo South students dressed in Shanley colors. The two schools worked together to create a fun and unusual setting. When parents looked across the court they saw students in red shirts and khaki pants cheering for Fargo South and our students in brown and gold cheering for Shanley. This night was not just about two schools competing on the basketball court Shanley Senior Molly Swenson, reads the but about two Sportsmanship Creed before a football schools student game bodies coming together to promote positive cheering and sportsmanship creating a positive environment

Our Values cont. for everyone. This group is also helping to create awareness of good sportsmanship by taking turns reading the Eastern Dakota Conference (EDC) Sportsmanship Creed. I helped create this Sportsmanship Creed by adapting the Sportsmanship Creed from the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference to fit the EDC. Before each game the EDC Sportsmanship Creed is read by the host school. However, here at Shanley we have taken it to another level. Each home game after the prayer and the National Anthem one of our Captains reads the EDC Sportsmanship Creed over the loud speaker. By having a student-athlete read this creed lends credibility for the fans to think about their sportsmanship. Currently we are the only EDC School that has a student-athlete read the creed. Other schools continue to have their announcers read the creed The actions of our students and the rest of the EDC has not gone unnoticed. Sherm Sylling Executive Secretary of the North Dakota High School Activities Association visited a meeting of the EDC Athletic Directors last year to commend our conference on the work we had done with the sportsmanship of the students. To receive praise like this from the head of our State Association is outstanding. It shows that when students come together to promote positive behaviors great things can happen. I am happy to say that our “Captains Council” is still meeting each month. These meetings have grown into mini sessions on “Enhancing Leadership in our School.” Each “Mini Session” focuses on areas of being a positive leader. A few of the topics include Above the Line Thinking, Role Modeling, Character Education, Goal Setting, and Leadership Expectations. As the “Captains Council continues to evolve new ideas and new was to help promote the values of Shanley High School and the JP II Schools Network will take place. Shanley High School is truly a Community inspiring Excellence from the students, staff, and parents who live out our Value and Mission Statements.

Faith

by: Peter Simon, Shanley Senior

Faith, it is the first core value use in our value statement, “A community inspiring excellence through faith, learning and service.” It is first, rightly so, because faith is seen in every aspect of daily life here at Shanley High School and throughout the Blessed John Paul II Catholic Schools Network. Faith is a strong foundation for our education here at Shanley, we start every day with prayer in morning announcements along with other prayers said throughout the day in our classes. Not only do we have the opportunity to participate in our faith during the school day, but we also are given a great deal of other opportunities to grow in our faith lives. One of the most common and easily accessible ways is every morning in our chapel there is the opportunity of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Fr. Charles presents the Blessed Sacrament every morning in the chapel from around 7:20 up until our first classes start at 8. Even though adoration ends at 8 am, we are still invited to visit the chapel any chance we have during our school day.

A rather newer opportunity here at Shanley, which has quickly become a fun and competitive tradition, is the annual Know Your Faith competition. The Know Your Faith competition is where the four Catholic high schools in North Dakota get together one day during Catholic Schools Week and compete against each other with their knowledge of the Catholic faith and Church. The winning school receives a large trophy and the title of Know Your Faith

Our Values cont. Champions. The competition consists of teams representing each school being asked a series of questions about the Catholic faith including Sacred Scripture, Church history, and the lives of saints and other miscellaneous items of the faith. The team that scores the most points for their correct answers is crowned the Know Your Faith Champion for that year in the state. This year I was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of the team representing Shanley and my fellow teammates, Tyler Nelson and Alex Seefeldt, were able to take home the trophy and the title and continue Shanley’s reign as champions for the second straight year. Another opportunity we have which is also a more recent one and an extremely profound and influential opportunity is a Rome Pilgrimage. Shanley has joined the four other Catholic high schools in the state of North Dakota, led by the University of Mary, on an annual pilgrimage to Rome during the summer. This opportunity is granted to the incoming seniors who wish to explore the ancient Church and experience their Catholic faith like never before. I was fortunate to take this opportunity last summer and I am so grateful that I was able to participate in this extraordinary event. While in Rome, we were given the opportunity to experience so many events and see so many sights that it’s hard to even wrap my mind around it all. During our time there we saw the major basilicas of Rome, along with a number of other extraordinary churches, we were able to explore the city and see the historical sights of the ancient Roman Empire, we spent a great deal of time in the Vatican and St. Peter’s square, even took in the view from the Cupola at St. Peter’s. We were able to travel to other cities and sights around Italy such as Subiaco and Assisi. We were even able to

celebrate the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul with His Holiness, Pope Francis, inside the Basicilla of St. Peter. Along with a great number of other spectacular things. One of the many highlights for me was being in the front row of the weekly Wednesday audience of Pope Francis. This trip alone, going into my senior year was an extraordinary experience that without a doubt will have a profound impact upon my faith and just another example of an opportunity given at Shanley to educate us in our faith life. The core value of faith is a strong value that we hold to a high regard at Shanley and for me personally throughout my 13 years in the Catholic Schools Network. The opportunities to grow deeper in our faith in many different and meaningful ways and the ability to experience our faith in a new light are great and numerous. These are the very visible marks that sets our schools apart from those around us. My faith experiences through my Catholic education has made an incredible impact upon my life today and has been a key role in my education and experiences with Shanley High School.

“God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-control.” 2Timothy 1:7 (NABRE) “The 9/11 Tribute center presents annual awards to teachers that have created exemplary educational projects that help students to understand the impact of September 11, 2001. These teachers have engaged students in unique projects that focus on historical and humanitarian aspects of 9/11 history, making the lesson of 9/11 tangible to children too young to remember the attacks” (extracted from the press release). This is a national teaching award that includes a monetary gift for the school donated by the 9/11 Family Foundation. Past awardees include teachers from public and private schools and have been from Texas, Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, Japan, and various northeastern

states. The majority of teachers selected for this award have been from New York State. Shanley Teacher, Carolyn Williams-Foell, received this award in February of this year in New York City. While in New York, she was asked to speak about what inspired her to teach her students about the events of September 11th and the acts of virtue demonstrated that day. The Project Focus: The curriculum, which has been in place for 4 years, focused on the acts of virtue demonstrated by both the victims and survivors during the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the sustaining role of Faith. Below are excerpts from the award submission. Inspiration: Four summers ago, Carolyn WilliamsFoell, faculty member of the theology department, traveled to New Jersey for a 3 day Catholic educators’ conference. While Carolyn Williams- Foell in front of the there she name on the 9/11 memorial of Shanley specifically graduate, Alfred Marchand, who died in searched the attacks of Sept 11. out the

temporary 9/11 Educational Center in New York City located in the basement of a temporary museum containing September 11th artifacts. Although the theme of the center was aimed at younger students in the New York area, Ms. Williams-Foell was inspired to develop resources for her high school students. She developed a curriculum that would reach the 10th and 12th grade students in her classes. Tenth grade students study the events of Sept 11, 2001 through documentary video and commentary, interviewed their parents, experienced art and poetry inspired by the events of September 11th, and write a reflection on the impact the day had on the country, community, and individuals and the virtues demonstrated that day. Twelfth grade students study the events of September 11th, through film, reading factional accounts, and writing personal Carolyn Williams- Foell with tour guide reflections. The Lee IeIpi who is the Board President of the 9/11 Tribute Center. His son died 12th graders when the towers collapsed. focus on the importance of listening to and responding to God’s call as demonstrated by many victims, survivors, and rescuers through their actions during the September 11 attacks and the days following. When I began this curriculum 4 years ago, the students had some recollections of the events of September 11, 2001. However, as time progressed the students now in class are too young to remember the events. Each year I have been able to expand the curriculum. As a member of the theology department I have focused on virtues that were demonstrated that day by people of all faiths and walks of life, but in order to do so, I first had to teach the students what transpired on September 11th. While all students were familiar with the very basic events, most did not know the details. One surprise I found was that although North Dakota is far from New York,

The Deacon • Spring 2014

Our Values cont. there are still inevitably connections between the families of my students and those who lost their lives that day. Students are also surprised to learn this information. It has also come to light that a graduate of our school died in the attacks. Parental feedback has been surprising as well, with parents making a point of letting me know how valuable they found the experience of discussing the events of the day with their children. Since I have started this curriculum, the school choir has taken a performance trip to New York City and the choir director has said the students were visibly moved when visiting the location of the attacks. Another year a student created a mosaic in memory of those who lost their lives on September 11th and it won Best in Show in the school art show. My firm hope is that not only will the students remember the events of September 11, 2001, but realize that if facing circumstances that require heroic actions that they will remember the virtue demonstrated that day and it will strengthen them to act accordingly.

Service

DEACONS – TO SERVE IS TO REIGN by: Sherri Simon, JPII Communications Director

Through her work with Churches United Heidi Deplazes, a sixth-grader at Sullivan Middle School, put the core value of service in the spotlight this year for the JPII Catholic

Schools. In the last year, Churches United For the Homeless in Fargo/Moorhead served close to 700 people annually and roughly 25% are children. So, having a safe and appropriate place for them to play was a high priority for Heidi. “A playground is a place where a kid can be a kid…” she noticed the need while doing service projects with her Girl Scout troop. Heidi: “It was ok, but I could see better. I have a future vision for that.” Heidi proceeded to organize an event that attracted donations worth nearly $5,000 to provide books and toys for a local homeless shelter, built a shed for the facility, and did an “extreme makeover” of its playground and family room. Last summer, Heidi took part in a youth empowerment summit that challenged attendees to change the world in 37 days. That made her think about the time she had volunteered at a homeless shelter. “I never saw any of the kids playing with toys, and it made me sad,” she remembered. “I think homeless kids especially need toys to take their minds off all the stress they have.” So Heidi set out to plan a fundraiser in 37 days. She brainstormed with friends, mapped out a plan on paper, and then started meeting with community leaders to get advice and support. With help from her mother, friends and fellow Girl Scouts, Heidi worked out all the logistics for “Shelter Fest,” a one-night event featuring a supper, silent auction, and more than 20 kid activities including face painting, carnival games, crafts and a marshmallow roast. Afterward, she had raised more than $3,000 and two truckloads of toys, bikes, books and other items for kids at the homeless shelter. Then Heidi, along with volunteers from three churches and her Girl Scout troop, went to work refurbishing the shelter’s playground and family room, and building a

for four days of events, tours and national recognition events. During the trip, 10 of them will be named America’s top youth volunteers of 2014, part of President Obama’s Presidential Service Award.

Heidi Deplazes recently received the 2014 Prudential Spirit of Community Award from North Dakota’s first lady, Betsy Dalrymple for her service. She will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion, and a trip to Washington, D.C. this May. As State Honoree, she will gather with 101 other honorees from across the nation

Please pray for Heidi and all of our Deacons who through their service realize that they can make a difference if you put your mind to it. As Mother Teresa said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”

TOGETHER CAMPAIGN PRAYER Heavenly Father, from whom every good thing comes, guide us in the building of Trinity Elementary School. Grant us the grace to construct a school that provides for a community inspiring excellence through faith, learning, and service and welcomes all who enter its doors. Give us teachers who will inspire virtue and character. May they be motivated by God to always teach the total person and foster the following of Christ. Help us to construct a school where every student is given the opportunity to be academically and spiritually excellent. May the construction successfully be brought to completion with your wisdom and guidance. With the intercession of the Blessed Mother, we ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.

The Joy of Giving Miranda Family By: Dr. Michael Smith, Superintendent, JPII Schools

When we choose Catholic Education for our children there is a choice that is made to invest in our children in a way that takes a unique commitment of resources. Not only is there a monetary investment, but there is also a commitment of time and energy that we make because our Catholic Schools depend on a familial commitment. Events like the upcoming auction are great examples of how incredibly dependent on parents and our greater JPII Community’s involvement is to the success of our community as we support each other in educating our students. One of the unique and special parts of our schools is that all of the students are community members because their parents made a decision that Catholic education is important to invest in on an ongoing basis. People not part of this type of school system often claim that our test scores and activities success are better than public schools, because we select only certain children and allow only certain families, in one way they are correct, but the error in the statement is that families choose us we don’t choose the families. Critics also do not understand that all are welcome, and to be a part of our JPII Catholic Community one must only decide that it is important enough to choose, and invest in. Earl and Rebecca Miranda have made that choice. As I sat down and spoke with the Miranda family about their choice of JPII for their children, they highlighted what went into their decision making process. In many ways they represent all of our families who have decided on investing in their children’s future through Catholic education. What makes them a bit of an anomaly is that next year they will have seven children in the JPII schools. Our Catholic Schools have always been fortified by a number of large families. Longtime friends and supporters of Catholic Education in our area can easily recognize last names like Noah, Vetter, McCormick and the list of families who have had large numbers of students in our schools goes on and on, but the Miranda’s are also unique because they are relatively new to the Fargo area. We hope this article will give you

The Miranda Family

some insight into why the Miranda family has chosen the JPII Schools, as the rationale they articulated is similar to the reasons families have been choosing Catholic Education for years. Earl and Rebecca Miranda are not Fargo natives. They moved to Fargo in 2008 and chose JPII Schools because of the faith component and that at our school’s students are given the same messages that are reinforced at home. Prayer is at the center of the Miranda household and to have faith at the heart of their children’s school is extremely important to them. So important that they need to make personal sacrifices to the extent that their children are also aware of the choice they have made as a family. In preparing to write this article I spoke with Earl and Rebecca, but Lexi (grade 11), Megan (grade 9) and Jordan (grade 6) also shared their thoughts about attending JPII Schools. What was striking was how similar the children’s responses were to their parents. And for the record the interviews took place about six weeks apart and the students and parents were interviewed separately. One of points expressed by Earl and Rebecca and the students was the gift of celebrating the true meaning of holidays. Jordan expressed the fact that the true reason for Christmas and Easter could be shared and talked about in schools and how not to be able to openly speak about these holidays at school would be strange and sad. He went on to add, “I enjoy knowing more

The Joy of Giving cont. about God and who he sent down to help us. I am conscientious about how he is with us.” As I reflected on Jordan’s statement, I thought, “We are so blessed to have children like this in our schools.” And we have a lot of them! Lexi spoke about the importance of faith being everywhere and fully integrated into different subjects like science. Her parents echoed that it is reassuring to know that the staff will give consistent answers to difficult questions concerning faith and the application of faith in lives outside of school. Attending Mass with her peers is something else, she finds as a blessing of being enrolled in our schools. Megan spoke about her love of babies and how proud that she was to be at a school that honored the Pro-Life movement as much as we do here. Megan has already attended one March For Life in Washington D.C. and both Lexi and Megan plan on attending next January as part of Shanley’s pilgrimage where we will be honored as the lead group of the 600,000 people march. The significance of the event and our role in it is something that they are both proud of being a part of day in and day out. Megan explained how in the halls of Shanley she could be proud to be Catholic and do things like say the Pledge of Allegiance. All three students and parents spoke about how respectful students in our schools are, and that when they are not, there is still an expectation from peer to peer and adult to peer that there is a level of respect different than in other learning environments. On the topics of uniforms and

The Miranda children

lunches there was a variety of opinions shared, but all agreed that these were not the big picture. The realization that there is a big picture is significant to me! Earl and Rebecca also emphasized how having their children in Megan, Jordan and Lexi an environment where Miranda what they teach and expect at home is supported at school and how their children’s peer groups are parented by parents with similar beliefs and values is well worth the investment. He went on to say that when these attributes are coupled with academic excellence the picture is complete. What struck me the most in my conversations with the Miranda family was the sense that making sacrifices to attend our schools is not something they hide, celebrate or talk about on a regular basis, but it is still understood that a Catholic Education is of great value. Among the three children there was no sense of entitlement, but an appreciation for the opportunities their parents are giving them in the areas of faith, learning and service. Earl and Rebecca likewise are not looking for accolades because of their commitment to Catholic Education, but they do possess a great sense of pride in their investment that will pay dividends that are unimaginable. Next year there will be seven Miranda children in our schools. One at Nativity, Olivia; two at Holy Spirit, Jake and Hailey; two in Sullivan, Jordan and Summer; and two in Shanley, Lexi and Megan. We are blessed to have families chose us as a partner in raising their children. We the educators and support staff in the Network take pride in our work. There is also a great sense of responsibility we as a Catholic School have when people invest in us as the Miranda family and so many others have done. Please know that if we are to reach the pinnacle of our potential it takes all of us, employees, families, friends, graduates and families of graduates to reach us working together. So, thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Alumni Reunion Re-Cap: Class of 1963 (Reunion) Class of 1963 Celebrated!! Celebrate we did and there was much to celebrate. A fun, casual evening at the “Sky View” at the Radisson in downtown Fargo. Spent the evening enjoying good food, good friends and good conversation. Saturday morning a few went golfing and then pizza at Rhombus Guys. Saturday evening again at the “Sky View” at the Radisson for a wonderful candlelight dinner, words of wisdom from Dorothy Berg, door prizes, CD from Leo, and an 8”x10” picture and booklet were handed out to all classmates. 42 classmates and 58 people total.

The Sundance woman: MSUM director of health volunteers each January at film festival By:Merrie Sue Holtan, INFORUM Published January 15, 2014 in The Forum

Moorhead - In 1964, United Artists premiered a film in London promoting Beatlemania. “It’s Been a Hard Day’s Night,” a title inspired by Beatle drummer Ringo Starr, became one of Time Magazines great 100 films of all times. It also played to packed crowds at the Fargo Theatre. Mary and Carol Helms, fourth- and fifth-graders at the time, stood in line to buy tickets to see the movie – 14 times.

attended Sundance in 1998 and says she was worn out from seeing all the films and wanted to become a part of the festival. She then convinced her sister to join her.

In 1848, Mormon pioneers first explored the mountainous area at 7,000 feet above sea level, 30 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

“I work parties (sometimes of 2,000 people) and special events, and my sister works passes and packages,” Carol says. “There are many parties, opening, closing, street parties, Carol (Helms) Grimm ‘71 invitation only photo courtesy of The Forum events, but the final award party is a lot of fun. I serve as a crowd liaison, setting up, taking down, and I’ve learned a new skill – tying very attractive tablecloths.”

Today Park City, population of 8,000, hosts millions of tourists a year including the 45,000 patrons of the Sundance Film Festival held for two weeks each January.

One year the pair worked a big private party, where Carol ended up at coat check and made $70 in tips. “We went out to a fancy restaurant and paid with onedollar bills,” Mary recalls.

In 1981, actor Robert Redford set out to provide a venue in this remote natural setting for independent film artists to explore and take creative risks without commercial and political pressure. The Sundance Film Foundation and Festival discovers and develops these artists from across the globe.

Carol explains that volunteers have to apply in the fall and be 18 years old.

“It really showed me the power of film,” says Carol (Helms) Grimm, director of health and wellness at Minnesota State University Moorhead. “OMG. I’ll never forget the opening when the Beatles hit the stage running right at us.” Her love of the big screen has led her to a 14-year stint each January as a volunteer – along with her sister who now lives in Omaha, Neb. – at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Carol has also served on the board of the Fargo Theatre for six years. THE SUNDANCE BACKDROP

This year, Mary and Carol will volunteer starting on Tuesday for the second week of the festival. Mary first

She works alongside college students, interns, Park City locals and people from all over the country. Shifts can be from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Veteran volunteers can pick their venues, and Carol has been at the Prospector Theatre for about 10 years. “Park City is not a large town,” Carol says. “Movie

Where Are They Now? venues are everywhere, libraries, school, theaters, civic buildings and hotels. We receive training in person and online to let us know what is new each year. It’s all about excellent customer service.” Volunteers pay their own transportation and housing but receive tickets/vouchers to see films and “tons of stuff including really cool jackets.” Depending on the year, Carol will see up to eight films. Her most memorable have been, “The Station Agent,” “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” “Maria Full of Grace,” “Blair Witch Project,” and “Way Way Back.” One year, Carol sat next to film critic Roger Ebert, whom she describes as great to talk to and a “real regular guy.” Another time she worked a film venue, and a gentleman approached her and said, “I realize I have my daughter’s tickets and need to bring them to her. Will you recognize me when I come back?” “I certainly will, Mr. Vice President,” Carol said. “It was VP Al Gore there to support his film, ‘Inconvenient Truth.’ He was very gracious and humble.” This year, Carol has the documentary “Ivory Tower,” about higher education on her must-see list as well as “Rudderless,” a feature film with William H. Macy. RETURN TO REAL LIFE Carol, the oldest of six siblings, graduated from Shanley High School, where she learned community activism from her mother and concern for social justice issues from the sisters who taught at the

school. This deep background led her to North Dakota State University, where she majored in Social Studies education and worked for Campus Attractions, where she brought in films, acts, coffeehouse entertainment and programming for students. After a brief stint teaching, Carol became the volunteer and public education coordinator as a Vista volunteer for the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center, which turned into a full-time position for 16 years. “I wanted to get active in something related to women’s issues,” Carol says. “It was a driving force for me.” Carol earned a graduate degree in management from the University of Mary. She spent the next 10 years at Fargo Cass Public Health as Director of Health Promotions, working with such issues as family planning and sexually transmitted diseases. In 2008, she became the director of Health and Wellness at MSUM. “I see the biggest changes for college students in the area of mental health,” Carol says. “Students with mental health issues have more pharmaceuticals available to them, so they are now able to attend college. We are there to help them manage that and the stress.” “I like volunteering for Sundance because it is so different from my real life,” Carol says. “If you like film, Sundance is the place to be. It’s a celebration of film – upbeat, exciting, and an electric environment.”

What’s Happening in our Schools Radio Club By Tim Cruff, Shanley Science Teacher and Radio Club Advisor

On September 18th, 2012, the United States Communication Commission approved a license for the Shanley High School Amateur Radio Club; call sign KD0TCP. Since then, the call sign has been heard in Europe, Japan, South America, Canada, Cuba, and all over the United States. The club at this time, has eight members that have passed their FCC examinations and we have more studying for the next exams to be given in May at the Court House Annex in Fargo. The students operate from a small radio station on the second floor of Shanley High School where they were able to establish antennas in the attic of the school. When the weather is warmer; you may see them outside after school setting up portable antennas, working off a generator, or using battery-powered high frequency, very high frequency, and ultra-high frequency radios; to make national and international contacts. Some of our students are members of the Red River Radio Amateurs, which is a very active organization that has provided emergency communication capabilities in the Red River Valley for years. Some students are also members of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL); the national organization that is the primary amateur radio organization within the United States. The ARRL informed us that to their knowledge, Shanley is the only high school club that has established lettering criteria based on school service, community service, and continuing education To date; our students have provided service to a multitude of public events in the Red River Valley. They usually provide emergency communications to assist individuals that are participating in various community-based events such as, the Fargo Marathon, the Buffalo River Trail Run, the Muscular Dystrophy Bike Run, the Rotary Bike Run, and the Sky-Warn system. The club will be assisting the University of North Dakota with their High-Altitude Balloon Research

Radio Club Members operate equipment

projects in April and June as part of the tracking & recovery team, and the club is assembling a cross-band communication systems that will be deployed on the balloons to provide long-range radio communication. In April, the Shanley High School Radio Club is hosting the Emergency Communications Trailer that will be the local base-of-operations for the North Dakota Radio contest, and at the end of June, is the International Field Day; where the students will be setting up emergency communications at a remote site (camping), using generators, battery systems, and solar cells to make contacts all over the globe as a practice for regional, national, or international emergency events. So far, all equipment for the club has been donated by local Hams, and the program has cost JPII Schools nothing to operate. The club is hoping to operate long-term through donations, or by selling excess equipment.

off. The Deacons finished 26-9 with another EDC Tournament runner-up and finished fourth at the state tournament. Fraase received second team allstate honors her freshman year. She continued to blossom the following season. The main source of offense for the Deacons, Fraase carried Shanley to a 24-10 record, a third straight EDC Tournament runner-up and fifth place at the state tournament. She was an all-stater again her sophomore year, except this time she made it on the first team. “We had a really good year that year but improvement was a must before the next season,’ Fraase said. The summer before her junior season Fraase gave a verbal commitment to the University of North Dakota to play volleyball. “It was exciting to make that decision because it is a great program up there (Grand Forks),” Fraase said.

Load. Jump. Swing. Hit. Score. Repeat. If you visit McCormick Gymnasium during volleyball season you will see this sequence from junior middle hitter Alivia Fraase over and over again. Dribble. Shoot. Score. Repeat. If you venture into McCormick Gymnasium during basketball season you will see this sequence from sophomore point guard Sarah Jacobson. Fraase and Jacobson do share something in common, however. Fraase was named the 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year for the sport of volleyball. Jacobson was named the 2014 Gatorade Player of the Year for the sport of girls basketball. Fraase began her varsity career as an eighth grader. That season she helped lead Shanley to a 24-9 record that included a runner-up finish at the EDC Tournament and a seventh place finish at the state tournament. The following season Fraase took

With the decision out of the way Fraase was able to focus on her final two high school season. She dominated the competition again this past fall, eclipsing the 1,000 kill mark in the process. The Deacons finished first in the EDC regular season as well as tournament. They took third place at state and eclipsed the 30 win mark for the first time in school history, finishing 31-3. Fraase led the Deacons with 491 kills her junior year. She finished the season with 1,278 total kills in her career. She was named to first team all-state for the second consecutive season. Jacobson, not unlike Fraase, began her playing career in middle school. She made the varsity roster as a seventh grader. Jacobson played limited minutes in her inaugural year on a team that lost in the state title game to Fargo North. The following season she assumed the starting point guard role. She hit the ground running her first full season. She was the second leading scorer at 12.8 points per game. She was first on the team and fourth in the EDC in assists at 3.6 per game. She also led the conference in three point percentage, connecting on 46.6% of her attempts. She help the Deacons to a 19-6 record, a runner-up finish at the EDC Tournament and a fourth place finish at the state tournament. The following season was Jacobson’s coming out party.

What’s Happening in our Schools She burst onto the scene by averaging a team high 15.5 points and 5.0 assists per contest. She also stole the ball 2.9 times per game. Shanley won the EDC Championship behind Jacobson and advanced the state semifinals before falling to Bismarck Century. They finished in third place at 22-3 overall. But something was still missing from Jacobson’s resume, a state championship. “We lost in the semifinal game and that was really disappointing so we worked hard to not feel that feeling again,” Jacobson said. Sarah’s sophomore year was dominant. 21.7 points, 6.8 assists, 2.9 steals per game, 52 three pointers, 43.3% from behind the arc solidified herself on the all-state team for the second consecutive year. She led Shanley to an EDC Championship and a state championship. She dominated on the title bout, scoring 28 points while the entire Minot team scored just 29. She was named tournament MVP and was an unanimous selection to the all-tournament team. “That weekend was so much fun and the championship was just the icing on the proverbial cake,” Jacobson added. Alivia Fraase and Sarah Jacobson have been wowing spectators since middle school. Whether it is a high velocity kill or a 22 foot three pointer, they have skills that their compatriots and competitors alike don’t have. A year and two years remaining at Shanley, respectively, the sky’s the limit for these two bonafide

stars. Shanley fans and opposing fans have been blessed with these two wonderful talents and have more to look forward in the future. Congratulations to Fraase and Jacobson on their Gatorade Player of the Year awards. “It is really cool to win this award and my teammates deserve as much credit as I do,” Fraase said. “Honored, that is probably the word that comes to mind. A.J. won it last year and now me this year, it has been a really special two years for our whole family,” Jacobson said.

Deacons devotion: Eighth-grader with muscular dystrophy known as Shanley’s No. 1 fan By: Tom Mix INFORUM Origianally published in The Forum

Fargo - Fargo Shanley’s Sid Cichy Stadium and McCormick Gymnasium are the two favorite hangout spots for 14-year-old Joe Keller. Both venues are where Keller’s heroes call home, and given the countless hours he spends at both locations, the venues are his home, too. Keller, an eighth-grader at Sullivan Middle School, is widely known as one of the most fervent supporters of Shanley High School athletics and he has the ticket stubs to prove it. “Shanley is the only school I follow,” Keller said. “I really enjoy watching all the sports at Shanley. Everyone is a part of the game and that is what I like.

It’s fun to be a fan and fun to watch the players do well.” At age 5, Keller was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy – a group of muscle diseases characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles that control movement. After the diagnosis, Keller needed the assistance of leg braces and by the time he entered fourth grade, he began using a motorized wheelchair fulltime. Actively competing in his favorite sports was off the table. Cheering and supporting his friends that could play was not. “He is a special guy,” Shanley junior all-state

What’s Happening in our Schools he is totally joyful and positive. As a player it was always great to know he was at our games.” Keller is a student manager for the eighth grade boys basketball team at Sullivan. His job description is to dish out encouragement. “We are sort of an all-star team,” Keller said of the team. “I look forward to every tournament and every game.” Since Keller began following Shanley athletics, three games – the 2008 boys soccer state championship, the 2012 girls soccer state championship and the 2013 boys basketball state championship – stand out. Joe Keller watches a Fargo Shanley basketball game with his friends on Friday.

linebacker Alex Berg said. “He is always talking to the football players and loves watching the sport. I know he wants to be out there so bad, but he is there every game cheering us on. No one compares to him. He is our No. 1 fan.” “Even though Joe can’t play sports, he takes a great interest in them and has passion for them,” added Joe’s father, Gary Keller. “That is a great feeling and I’m proud of him.” Keller’s sister Kayla is a senior at Shanley and plays soccer. When the Deacons girls soccer team defeated Bismarck St. Mary’s in a shootout to capture the 2012 state championship, Keller took a lap around the field with the Deacons’ team flag in hand. “He never misses a game and always puts in the extra effort to get to all of them,” Kayla Keller said. “He has formed friendships with my teammates and other players, too. Whenever we play Fargo Davies, some of the girls from the team who play on my travel team come over and give Joe a hug. The friendships he has made are bigger than the game.” “Joe brings a lot of passion to Shanley athletics,” added Carly Mickelson, a former three-sport athlete for the Deacons and 2013 Shanley graduate. “A lot of people can cheer and be supportive at games, but

Keller said the 2013 boys basketball title is his favorite. Following the victory, every member of the team came up to Joe to thank him for being in Bismarck that night last March. “Even though Shanley might lose a game here and there, I’ll think about last year’s state championship game,” Keller said. “I know that might sound like I’m living in the past, but I’m just so glad we got that state title.” Keller never shows up to a game without Deacons gear. He has a specific hat for every sport, but his lucky hat is one that he has worn since 2011 – the year the Shanley girls basketball team made it to the state championship game. Keller said the hat has a lot of sentimental value and is autographed by players on that 2011 squad as well as Shanley players in the seasons that have followed. Shanley athletes also support Keller. Every year, the boys basketball team designates one home game to wear T-shirts that read “Joe’s Heroes” during warmups and also join the Keller family at Fargo’s annual Walk for Wishers fundraising event for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “It definitely gives our team a sense of pride, knowing Joe has our back,” Shanley basketball standout Patrick Strom said. “We have his back, too. We love seeing him at the games, giving him high-fives and going to the Make-A-Wish events the Keller family participates in. We love supporting him and we are glad to have his support as well.”

What’s Happening in our Schools

TOGETHER! we are a vibrant Catholic Community with unlocked potential. Our Together Campaign will allow the Blessed John Paul II Catholic Schools to operate from a position of strength for the future and realize our collective capacity. By constructing Trinity Elementary School we will capitalize on the amazing growth in the area and provide a steady stream of students to fill Shanley and Sullivan School. Bishop Folda wrote: “As part of our mission to serve, we are truly blessed to have Blessed John Paul II Catholic Schools, which provides our youth with an academic tradition of excellence, a faithful and inspiring ministerial team, and strong support from our local parishes. With our many blessings comes the responsibility of providing an environment to support the spiritual and academic growth of our children. Strategic planning efforts within our community have indicated that it is time to move forward with the building of Trinity Elementary School and to address lingering debt and expansion projects at Shanley/ Sullivan. It is time for all of us to come together as a Catholic Community to address the new needs and the ongoing mission of our Catholic Schools” We are investing in our Catholic youth by providing a world class learning environment, focused through the prism of faith. We have consistently excelled at academics, sports & activities, but our foundation in faith is what really distinguishes our schools. Together! We can build upon this tradition, and inspire excellence through faith, learning and service for the future! Watch the JPII Catholic Schools website for more information and updates as we progress into the future.
