A New Sunrise by Kate Martinek ’23 In nights of darkness You may look and find the sky starless But do not forget That tomorrow will be met With a new sunrise Orange, pink, and red will paint the skies The light will warm your soul And your heart will once again feel whole But the darkness will come back So remember the picture of light against all the black

NOTRE DAMEVisualArtsSHOWCASE

A Visual Arts Showcase was installed at the main entrance of the school near the auditorium. Having witnessed the incredible talent of our arts students, Ms. Maggie Kelly, SVP and Director of Institutional Advancement, teamed up with Mrs. Brittany Brydges-Neely, Notre Dame’s art teacher, to establish the exhibit. Ms. Kelly stated, “I was thrilled to be able to work with Mrs. Brydges-Neely on this showcase. There is truly extraordinary talent in this visual arts display.” We hope to have multiple visual arts showcases throughout the school year – one in the fall, winter and spring. Mrs. Brydges-Neely said, “It was really exciting to finally have a place to showcase student talent especially after this unique school year."
