While soldiers sacrifice their time and risk their life for the safety of others, students at Judge have created a sort of memorial to commemorate those serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas of the world. Aptly named the Wall of Service, students are encouraged to tack up the name of a loved one that is serving in a war or has served in the army, navy, air force, marines, you name it. Catholic Schools Week is all about service, and by passing this reminder and seeing the names of those who serve our nation, it's easier to see how our service can influence others. Even something as small as volunteering at your old elementary school or helping an older neighbor organize their attic, we can all make a difference. Seeing how we affect the people around us makes us realize that we can all change the world, together or alone.

Catholic Schools Week
This week is Catholic Schools week! This yearly event is to "honor those who contribute to success of Catholic schools" as Ms. Lazinski says. 2.27 million students are in Catholic schools nation wide. This year's theme is service, "To recognize people who do service around school" Ms. Lazinski says. This is a time for some of Judge's most involved students to be recognized, like they deserve. "It is a reminder of why we are here", Ms. Lazinski adds. It's a chance for us to realize how Catholic schools like Judge contribute to their communities. Each morning of Catholic Schools week, a senior theology class will thank a person or group of people here at Judge that should be recognized for what they do here everyday. There is also the service wall, where people are welcome to write the name of someone they think serves their country or community. The names will be displayed all week.

Inside Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry has many events going on all year long with their new senior ministers. Campus Ministry is an organizer for the events involving all students of the red and gold community.
Although it sounds like a great club, it is actually a class for seniors only. It is too late to become a part of it this year, but all juniors can apply at the end of junior year for this class. It is located in Mrs. Garcia's room and includes many of Judge Memorial's seniors. Campus Ministry helps with many things, but because it is the beginning of the year, Campus Ministry hasn't done much yet. A current Campus Minister, Megan Bush, quotes, "We are proud of freshmen orientation day." There were many fun activities for all ministers and freshmen to enjoy even though the new year was close ahead.
Campus ministers will always be roaming the judge hallways to advocate for spiritual enlightenment. They are here to remind us to have faith through out our Catholic High School.
