Notre Dame cheer squad wins nationals
By Heather Murtagh Daily Journal
Staff
 BELMONT, CA -
Twenty Tigers cheerleaders representing Notre Dame High School in
Belmont made it home late Sunday night with a national title in tow.
This year's varsity squad had much to cheer about, including an
undefeated season ending with a national title in the large varsity show
cheer novice division at the United Spirit Association Nationals in
Anaheim. Notre Dame was one of five local high school-aged squads to
represent San Mateo County at last weekend's competition. Mercy,
Hillsdale and South San Francisco high schools and all-star squad Rebels
Elite also took to the blue mat in a variety of divisions. While Rebels
Elite earned a noteworthy second place, Notre Dame was the only school
to secure the national title. read more

A Race to Nowhere will be screened at Menlo Atherton High School Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, April 13 at 7:00 p.m. This film examines the systematic pressures faced by youth and teachers today amid a focus on high stakes testing, competing in the global economy and increasingly unrealistic expectations of parents, universities, school districts and society at large. The demands have crushing, widespread consequences. Many students are disengaged, cheating is commonplace, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant and students arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
Click to see the trailer.
Tickets for the Menlo Atherton screening are $15. You can purchase tickets at http://rtnmenloatherton.eventbrite.com/
As a member of Notre Dame's SOS (Stressed-Out Students) committee, I
encourage all parents to see this film, which we are evaluating for use
in a stress reduction program for NDB students next year. Many
students, parents, educators and mental health professionals are
interviewed in the film and while painful to watch, it is truly a
wake-up call for us all. It also includes suggestions for positive
action, which are also available in depth on the film's website. http://www.racetonowhere.com/
