DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP CLASS TAKES ON THE "PASS VIDEO" CRAZE
Throughout quarantine, the "pass video" has become a popular trend. These videos depict various people passing a ball, piece of paper, or some other object seemingly back and forth through their individual homes. Kaitlyn Colin's freshmen Digital Citizenship class took their turn at the trend and had a lot of fun in the process.
Incoming freshmen Roman Annan, Cecilia Keiner and Cameron Hawkins created a great video expressing their excitement for their upcoming time at Brebeuf Jesuit. Click the video above to see their full video project.

LIGHTS FOR JUSTICE - TOMORROW
This Friday, June 19, Brebeuf Jesuit will take part in "Lights for Justice." All across Marion County, the lights of high school stadiums will burn bright for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, as a memorial to George Floyd and to spotlight the need for continued social justice and the fight against racism.
Mr. Floyd was born on October 14, therefore the memorial will begin at 10:14 p.m. Furthermore, June 19 is also known as Juneteenth and holds special significance within the Black community. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates June 19, 1865 when a Union general read federal papers in Galveston, Texas that stated all previously enslaved people in Texas were free. This was the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved Blacks in America.
Please join us in reflecting on, not only the symbolism of this moment, but also the action steps that are necessary to achieve true justice and equality in our community, nation, and world.

"TALKING ABOUT RACE" WEB PORTAL
The “National Museum of African American History and Culture” released a “Talking About Race” web portal. It offers resources and strategies for individuals, families, and communities to lean into discussions about race, racial identity, and how racism has affected our communities and perceptions. At Brebeuf we plan to continue having these discussions and engaging our students in experiences that will promote a social justice and equity way of thinking and framework.

MONDAY MORNINGS WITH MR. T
Monday Morning originated as a fun virtual video class update during the COVID-19 pandemic. Monday Morning took on new life during this time as a place to talk about music, the arts and its importance and value to us as humans and the world around us with living artists and performers making special guest appearances. It’s a place to talk about the language of music, theatre, dance, etc. and have real conversations about how this language can be a voice in the world.
Upcoming guests include Broadway's Daniel Klingler (Aladdin), E. Layton Cornelius (Ain't Too Proud), Fred Lassen (Once; Finding Neverland) along with world renowned opera star and Brebuef vocal coach, Angela Brown.

CHECK OUT WHAT'S NEW ON THE GOODS
To end the school year, students in English 10 read an excerpt from Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried. O’Brien’s piece recounts soldiers’ experiences in Vietnam and the many things they carried with them, both literal and figurative. Following the reading, students were asked to write their own reflective piece in the spirit of O’Brien’s, considering what they had been carrying, tangible and intangible, with them over our time in quarantine. Caitlin Daly's words resonated in a special way with her class, and we wanted to share it with the entire Brebeuf Community.
