IGNATIAN TEACH-IN FOR JUSTICE AND CROSSES ON BREBEUF'S FRONT LAWN TO THE Brebeuf Jesuit parent conversation series SCHEDULE
As families drive onto the Brebeuf Jesuit campus November 11-15, they will notice memorial crosses on the lawn representing the Jesuit martyrs who died fighting political oppression during the Salvadoran Civil War. These Jesuits were faculty members and administrators at the University of Central America when they were martyred on November 16, 1989. Brebeuf Jesuit will also honor Ignatian values by sending one of the largest high school delegations – a group of more than 30 students and teachers — to the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice event in Washington, D.C., where Jesuit educators and students will gather to discuss important issues of social reform. Brebeuf community members are invited to a special prayer service in the Brebeuf Jesuit Chapel with our student and faculty Ignatian Teach-In representatives at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 11, before our representatives depart at noon for Washington, D.C. Our representatives will return late Monday, November 14, after spending a day on Capitol Hill.

Student SpotlightSARAH ANGLEN
Loves About Brebeuf
I love the sense of community that you feel at Brebeuf. Everyone smiles and greets each other every single day. If you are down, there is always someone to make you smile. You can feel the love of everyone in the hallways. Favorite Class
My favorite class at Brebeuf has been Honors Anatomy with Mrs. McCarter. She always had fun labs that helped learn the material and the actual dissections of organs helped with memorizing and learning the material. Future Plans
My top choice is to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City for fashion business and merchandising. If not FIT, another school that has a good fashion program for undergraduate. Eventually, I want to live in a city working in the fashion industry. Teams & Co-Curriculars
I played volleyball the first two years of high school and then I have been managing the boys soccer teams since my junior year. I had a job last semester working at Roselli’s Pizza. Random Fact
I spent my summer living in New York City with my older sister and had an internship at Model Management Group. What has been your favorite Brebeuf experience or most memorable moment so far?
My favorite moment at Brebeuf has been being apart of the sports program because each person gets an intense amount of love and support and the sense of family you build with your teammates last long after the season is over. What do you think of…
Apple getting rid of the headphone jack on the new iPhone? I think that it's an interestingly different addition to the new iPhone and that people are freaking out because it isn’t what they are used too, but I think that it’s innovative and people will warm up to the idea.

#BrebeufDrives
For our next #BrebeufDrive we will be coordinating our annual Help for the Holidays collection for the Catholic Charities Christmas Store. This is an opportunity for the Brebeuf community to actively be men and women for others. While unifying with the school through a collaborative effort, we are also strengthening a bond to a community in need of assistance. Every year during the holiday season, Catholic Charities sponsors The Christmas Store. More than 700 needy families will shop for Christmas gifts and clothing for their children. Donations of time, gifts and money help bring a brighter Christmas season for these families in need. In many cases, the gifts provided by the Christmas Store will be the ONLY Christmas items these families will receive. The results of these drives will provide gifts to a vast number of individuals and families, bringing additional joy for the holiday season.
