![]() ![]() ![]() SEPTEMBER 2021 | ISSUE 1 ALUMNI NEWSLETTER Welcome to our First Edition ![]() Welcome! Welcome to our new Alumni newsletter, designed to provide updates between the Trinity magazine issues. We hope this will help keep Alums more up to date with the CN community. The newsletters will be sent in September, February, and June. A key piece of help from all of you is sharing important events from your lives: births, marriages, deaths, successes, and opportunities. Any change of address is helpful to keep the mailing list current. (Update address here) While we are spread out in many places, it is helpful to know where we are and what we are doing, keeping the community connected. Please send any information to me at rutherford@cardinalnewman.org or to Kathy Badger, badger@cardinalnewman.org as we work together on this project.
Opening of the New Classrooms The eighteen new classrooms, in a two story building, with a one story Art classroom and Kiln room, will open by the end of September! These spaces will replace those destroyed by fire on October 9th, 2017. The year and a quarter long project, which overcame Covid delays of materials and labor, is fully funded from insurance and raised monies, representing a new 21st century style for our school. Groundwork has also begun on the new Student Life Center, to be located next to the new classrooms and the original two classrooms, with a Library above a large cafeteria and student gathering area. This is also fully funded from donations and should be ready in early 2023. ![]()
Day of Giving - October 9th The feast day of Saint John Henry Newman, is our Annual Day of Giving; please support this important request.

Homecoming Tailgate & Football Game The Homecoming game this year, against crosstown rivals Maria Carrillo will be held on Friday, October 15th.

Students are working on special decorations to enliven the night. With good wishes, they will hopefully be able to have a Homecoming Dance on Saturday the 16th, if Covid rules will allow. ![]()
Fun in the Fall - October 23rd The return of Fun in the Fall should be fun for everyone. Covid aware preparations will allow the event to be held and enjoyed. With outdoor spacing, and a well ventilated ACC, an evening of community gathering is to be anticipated. This is a great time to meet with classmates and has worked as a planned event that can include a class reunion, as several classes have done. Come support our community together, past, present, and future, in a fundraiser celebration. Use this Online Reservation Link to purchase your tickets! Thank you!

Veterans Day - November 11th Honouring our Veterans, graduates of CN, who served "in times of war and peace", as our school Veterans plaque, first placed in 1991, states, is our plan for Veterans Day. Being at school to learn about the service of others from a wide ranging time period, 1968 to 2021, is a better way to understand a holiday that is often confused with Memorial Day or overshadowed by store sales. Willing Veterans, able to come speak that day, can please contact me at rutherford@cardinalnewman.org.
We would like to have representatives from as many of the branches as possible. Also, we continue to gather the names of our Veteran graduates, when they served, and with whom. Please send me that information to include in our growing list for the upcoming Trinity issue. Many have responded yet there are others we do not have information on as of now. Thank you. ![]()
Forty Years After, '81 Gathers The class of '81 put on an outdoor reunion on July 24th at Howarth Park on a warm summer day. Thanks to the efforts of Tom Nunes and crew, a large turnout of CN and Ursuline grads caught up on the lives of each other, continuing to remember the class members who have passed away over time. From socializing to eating to singing together, this class shows they still know and care for each other. Congratulations Eighty-One! ![]() ![]() ![]()
Cardinal Newman Has a New Address Much work over the past 4 years has been completed on the school's Master Site Plan. The new entrance to the school now lives on Old Redwood Highway to better serve our school community. A new entrance sign has been designed, and will be implemented this Fall. While our old Ursuline Road address will work, the school's new address is 4320 Old Redwood Highway!
CN Legacy Wall A Legacy Committee has been formed to gather historical events and photos that highlight the rich history of our school. A Legacy Wall will be the focal point in our new Student Life Center Cafe, and will illustrate major events throughout our past.

Thank you for your part in helping us as we build out our Memory Wall. ![]() Thank You Dan Galvin for sharing these NewmanLite newsletters from the late 60's and early 70's!
