FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.qns.com JANUARY 21, 2016 • CATHOLIC SCHOOL • THE QUEENS COURIER 11 Notre Dame School 25 Mayfair Road • 516.354.5618 • www.ndsnet.org For more than sixty years, Notre Dame School has been educating hearts and forming minds in New Hyde Park. Education must always be more than academics. While academic achievement is a fundamental goal of our school, it is not the only one. We follow the NYS Common Core curriculum and standards, but we also provide our children with memorable life experiences. Education is about the formation of persons, not merely providing them with information. We begin each morning by praying as a school community. Classes host monthly school liturgies at First Friday masses, as well as, other prayer services in which the students are active participants. They can be readers, leaders of song, altar servers, or present the gifts at the altar. Special prayer services include our Thanksgiving service, Advent, Christmas pageant, Stations of the Cross in shadows, the Feast of the Epiphany and Lent. Our students come to us from a diverse range of cultures, beliefs and abilities. Those cultures and beliefs are respected and abilities supported or enriched. Our goal is to provide our students with the skills needed to succeed in a highly literate society, and then, as responsible faith-filled members of that society, to use those skills to create communities that actively promote social justice. Children of other faiths have the opportunity to share their beliefs as well. Thanks to the generosity of our parish, school families, and parishioners, we are able to broadcast our morning announcements throughout the school! We have our very own closed circuit TV system—NDTV! Our videoconferencing room has also been very busy! Students in all grades enjoy the experience of interacting with people all over the world. We are proud to provide our students the opportunity to work with iPads and other technological tools. All classrooms, kindergarten to eight, are equipped with integrated SmartBoards. Our days are filled with many exciting activities and learning events. Learning does not just take place in one classroom. Our children enjoy a variety of “special” classes and events throughout the school year and we would love for you to see us “in action.” Please feel free to call the school to schedule a tour and for more information.
