Notre Dame Academy - Regina Yearbook (Toledo, OH)

The Notre Dame teacher stresses quality education with underlying Christian princi- ples. The student is treated as an individual person with her own problems, talents and abilities. No class activity, be it the Senior Play, the Junior Ring Ceremony, Sophomore Mission Fair or the Freshman Book Fair is complete without the support of the Sisters and our seven dedicated lay teachers. Each Notre Dame teacher is a dedicated woman, proficient in her own field, and never too busy to stop to listen. She is in the classroom every morning welcoming the early bird students, who are eagerly checking test results and homework — an- swering their questions, calming their an- xieties or just there with a cheerful greeting. She is available after school for counsel- ing, tutoring, preparing tomorrow ' s assign- ments until her day ends — in prayer, asking God ' s help with the task entrusted to her. 1.

Administrative Leaders See ND Through Eventful Year The strong functioning of a good organization is always accredited to the administration. So also, is the excellent academic standards here at Notre Dame Academy accre- dited to our outstanding faculty. Faculty members, forty-two Sisters and seven lay wom- en, work long hard hours year round to fully prepare them- selves for another school year. And this year teachers al- tered their schedules, for cautionary purposes, in order to be safe against any unforetold school closings. Learning from last years ' unfortunate experience with the snow storms, semester schedules were changed so that first se- mester would end before Christmas. That meant extra work and planning for the teachers, but it is said that intelligent minds adjust easily to changes. Both faculty and students alike grew accustomed quickly to the change. This year brought into light the valuable treasures we have because of attending a private school. The closing of Toledo Public Schools helped us to realize how lucky we are to have a thorough school system supported by our parents and efficiently run by our religious and lay faculty. page 20 1 .
