Freshman Football Game

The freshman football team earned an impressive win this past Saturday, October 5, against a formidable St. Francis Prep. Chaminade won with a score of 14-7, ending the Terriers undefeated winning streak. The Flyers will look to continue the excitement this weekend against Kellenberg at Gold Star Stadium.

Cross Country Race

The cross country team had a strong performance this past weekend at the Paul Short Run at Lehigh University. The competition was fierce, and several nationally-ranked schools were competing at this event. On the varsity level, Frank Naudus ’21, Michael Cahill ’21, and Kyle McLean ’20 led the team to a 19th-place finish out of 38 teams. The JV team, led by Owen O’Donnell ’22, finished 16th out of 44 teams.

School Safety Drills 

This past week, the school reviewed and practiced what to do in case of an emergency. In the beginning of the week, morning announcements ended with a message from Bro. Joseph Bellizzi, S.M. ’78, in which he explained the steps for all possible emergency procedures. Throughout the week, some of these drills were practiced, including lock-out and lock-down drills. Parents were alerted of the drills via the school messaging service. Completing these drills in case of emergency situations is one way that Chaminade maintains its top priority: the safety of the students entrusted to its care.
