9th Graders Build Bonds at Retreat
October 12, 2021
On September 30 and October 1, the ninth grade retreats gave our youngest students the chance to get to know one another and build new friendships. The theme of the retreats was "Love and care for one another as God loves and cares about you."
The retreats began with students walking from CDH to Holy Spirit and taking in their surroundings. Students were asked to consider where they come from and where they want to go.
The day-long retreat included time in small groups, stories from Assistant Principal Amy Bellus '90 and Dean of Students Jerry Kline '93, a panel of senior students answering questions, time to play outside, and prayer. Students were also introduced to many of the opportunities available to them at CDH, including PFP, Student Advocates, Campus Ministry, and the wide range of clubs and activities.
At Cretin-Derham Hall, we take pride in creating a strong community where every student can feel at home. The ninth grade retreat is an important piece of helping every Raider start their high school experience on the right foot.
