As my sons now attend a Catholic school in the Chicago suburbs (Benet Academy) it reminded me how much I valued my Catholic education at Newman. It’s been a long time since I have been back but I am so glad that the Comet tradition lives on. (Here’s a photo of me with my twin boys…they grow up so fast!)

This donation is inspired by the dedication of Coach Lemay and Mr. Olson. They show up every day for their students and players. Their dedication to Newman was evident when they performed an interpretive dance number to promote The Day of Giving. In the words of Shakira. “Their hips truly didn’t lie”
