This quote by baseball legend Jackie Robinson truly applies to the ways Garrett Brockway has affected the lives
of others.
Garrett was a fourth grader at Notre Dame Elementary
School when he lost his life as a result of an accident last
February. Honor roll student, baseball fan, Boy Scout,
altar server, and all-around outstanding young man,
Garrett lived life to the fullest. Sadly, his life ended
much too soon. The loss of this special person was felt
throughout the Notre Dame community.
However, even after the death of this 10-year-old, he
continues to touch so many lives.
One way he has done so is through organ donations.
After his death his parents (Tiffini and Bruce Brockway)
became involved in the Iowa Organ Donors program. Garrett himself is responsible for
life-saving donations to several individuals; his parents have even met one of the people who
survived because of Garrett.
The Notre Dame family has continued the cause for organ donors in Garrett’s memory by
wearing green bracelets (green is the signature color of the Iowa Donor Network), commemorating him with the “Games for Garrett” night during the volleyball season, and
participating in the Garrett’s Path 5K Walk/Run held in September.
And others have kept Garrett’s spirit alive, too. Former St. Louis Cardinal (and Garrett’s
favorite player) Albert Pujols donated one of his jerseys for the God’s Portion Day auction.
Garrett’s parents have also established the Garrett M. Brockway Foundation that provides
tuition assistance and scholarships at Notre Dame along with trying to raise awareness
about organ donation.
Garrett’s legacy will live on and the impact of his life will continue to be felt, in the lives
of the Notre Dame family and in those of so many others. Jackie Robinson would agree:
Garrett’s life was truly important.

POG strikes gold again
It was standing room only at PZAZZ once again
this year as the suspense built and organizers
announced the lucky 75 winners of cash prizes
for the 16th annual Pot of Blue and Gold drawing. George Macans (above with Val Giannettino) was happy happy happy when he received
the call to say he had won the grand prize of
$100,000.
Macans has bought tickets for the past three
years and won $500 last year. This year he
bought six tickets (using his winnings from last
year and then some). Now having won the big
prize, he plans to use his winnings this year to
get out of debt. (With his lucky streak, he will
no doubt buy some tickets next year too!)
Additional cash prizes and more winners this
year helped energize this year’s POG event.
Proceeds went to teachers’ salaries, technology,
curriculum and (new this year) the teachers’ retirement fund as well. Proceeds of the sales over
3000 (this year we had 3,213!)
went to a new “special projects
fund” to help with improvements around the school .
Since its origin, “POG” has
given away $1.8 million in
cash prizes while also raising
over $2 million for Notre
Dame Schools.
The POG campaign once again culminated in
the festivities on the final evening featuring food
and fellowship. Throw in some spirited Notre
Dame cheerleaders, our new Acapella group
and Wendy Zick’s elementary version of Circus
de Zick and you have the ingredients for a very
memorable night and some very happy winners.
The 2013 God’s Portion Day was a huge success. With the live auction topping out
at $82,000 (up from $67,000 in 2012), the total brought in from all the proceeds at
the annual fundraiser was close to a whopping $120,000 after expenses.
Along with the live auction, which included naming rights to ND’s frontage roads,
sporting events tickets and memorabilia, and Ruth Mansheim’s famous raspberry
pie, there was a silent auction with even more great offerings up for bid. Over 300
items were auctioned throughout the day.
New events this year were the Balloon Bust and a chance to win a new iPAD
donated by Great Western Bank. Once again the hat and bucket auction also featured the chance to win a flat screen TV donated
by Ruth and Gary Mansheim and a deluxe gas
grill provided by Deery Brothers.
As always, the day featured food with breakfast,
concessions, and the fabulous “Notre Dame
Alumni Bake-Off.” This year 1966 grad Theresa
Riffel Bence was the winner with her delectable
peanut butter bars.
Finally, the big cash raffle of the day offered a
grand prize of $5,000. This year’s winners were
Mary and Dick Lowe.
The Notre Dame School Board counts on God’s
Portion Day to raise 1215% of ND’s annual budget. Val Giannettino, Development Director, is in charge of the event.
The 35th anniversary of GPD next spring promises to
be “Mmm-mmm good” featuring some fun with the
Campbell Soup theme. (The soup can is always the first
item to be auctioned.) So save the date for Sunday April
6th and stay tuned for all the juicy details. All of your
favorites plus some new surprises will make for another
exciting day at Notre Dame. Committees will begin
forming in January, and we invite you to join the fun.
Want to get involved? Contact Val Giannettino, Development Director at [email protected]. Or
call (319) 754-8431 ext. 385.
Appreciation goes out to everyone who helped
sell tickets this year, (such as Rosemary Abel,
pictured above), with the top salesperson being
Cynthia Becker. Over 200 volunteers helped sell
tickets and, as Val Giannettino, Notre Dame
Development Director, stated, “We are so grateful for all the support.” Stay tuned for dates and
details on the 2014 POG event.

Reliving memories...and making more
The Notre Dame Class of 1963 enjoyed
their reunion festivities the weekend

heading to the Burlington Golf Club.

down at the Paddlewheel and then Saturday evening they had dinner at the Drake. It was a good time for all those in attendance with
around 25 classmates back for the reunion. Jamie (Carney) Moeller did a great job of organizing the reunion, and Dunker Lietsch
generously provided the venue on Friday night. The ND reunion was combined with the BHS 30 year class reunion as well that weekend, which added to the fun.
Carl Hulen surprised everyone by showing up to the reunion all the way from Hawaii, where he lives. Classmates pictured in the

What will your legacy be? Join the Legacy Society
The Burlington Notre Dame Foundation, with the help of the class of 1958, has launched our new Legacy Society. The Legacy Society
allows families and friends to honor those they love and keep their memory alive at ND. With gifts of $500 or more donors become
part of the Legacy Society.
One of the features of this new group is that contributors may decide where the money will be spent. For example, the family of Sister
Mary Carla Koestner wanted to help the music department so her memorial helped purchase handbells which are used for concerts
throughout the year.
The Legacy Society’s donor names are included in our memorial book kept in the chapel (photo) and plaques will be placed on our
Spirit Wall located by the old concession stand.
As one of the members of the class of 1958 who helped launch this project, Diane Wilson Mansheim sums it up best as she says,
“Thanks for all your interest in our class projects. Our legacy to Notre Dame is one of appreciation and thankfulness for our Catholic
education and the great sacrifices of our parents and their generation. WE ARE THE NIKES !!”

A work in (and about) progress
If you walk through the front door of Notre Dame High School these days, you may wonder at first if you are in
the wrong building.
Upon entering the edifice, you will see a view before you that is definitely not what you saw last year.
Thanks to the efforts of volunteers with vision, new furniture and carpeting, fresh paint, and updated computers, business is booming in the ND library. Students are thrilled with the renovation, the additional technology,
the comfortable seating, and the bright new look.
Notre Dame parent (and Southeastern Community College librarian) Brian McAtee was one of the many volunteers who spent countless hours working on this project during their summer months.
Students enjoy the new atmosphere immensely. The new lighting and ceiling in the
library certainly make the room seem larger and brighter. Students seem to enjoy the
new “lounge” atmosphere with the sofas, high tables, and welcoming study areas. And
the new library technology allows students the opportunity to stop in and work on an assignment without having to check out a computer to use. Computers are always available
when someone is supervising in the library. (Funding for the new computers came in
part from the Gene Fedler Memorial Fund.)
On the heels of the renovation success of the library comes the long overdue “Locker
Room Project” (referred to as “SOS… save our showers!” ) Again, volunteers have stepped
up to make some wonderful things happen. Notre Dame alum Cynthia Brinck Becker
(’76) has spearheaded a complete redo of the boys’ and girls’ locker rooms. If you’ve been
through the locker rooms recently, you know why that’s become a priority. Again the
passion and commitment of our volunteers is making it happen. The boys’ room was a
little less challenging so that is where things started with a goal of unveiling our work on “Meet the Players” night. Then planning will
begin for the girls’ side which will get underway following basketball season.
Volunteering: it’s what we do, and volunteers are the fuel that keeps the Notre Dame engine going. We are always looking for fresh
new troops, so please don’t wait to be asked. We need you! Get involved and join Team Nike. For information on how you can help
with these projects or other volunteer opportunities please contact Val Giannettino, Development Director at val.giannettino@
bnotredame.org. Or call (319)754-8431 ext. 385.
The Nikes are loving their “new look” library!

Technology and the 21st century classroom
Take a tour around the Notre Dame campus with IT coordinator Ron Teater and you will be amazed at how much has been accomplished in a few short years. Smart Boards, net books and new computer labs are just the beginning. It’s all very exciting but as we
have come to realize keeping up with the technological advances isn’t easy. Indeed, it is a work in (and about) progress.
So many improvements have occurred since Teater’s arrival in 2008. The summer of 2013 saw some major advancements. These
upgrades have included the addition of two new computer labs (one for elementary and one on the secondary side), improvements in
the existing computer labs, and the installment of wireless capability throughout the ND campus.
One of the instructors who has embraced the 21st century technology is secondary science teacher Katie Wiebler Eastin (ND ’02--picture above left). In her interactive science room, she makes heavy use of online textbooks, simulations, and Google Drive.
Much has been done, but much still remains on Teater’s “wish list” for ND’s technological future. Included in his vision are:
• Smart Boards for the Notre Dame Elementary music room and computer labs
• Interactive classrooms throughout the system
• Gymnasium projection system for musical, community and sporting events
• Welcome sign inside both school entrances listing information and events
• New tables/furniture/technology to accommodate changing look of classrooms
Teater says, “This equipment that will keep us moving forward and on track with technological changes related to education and
teaching our students.”
A technology committee was formed several years ago and has been accomplishing a lot under the radar. What holds us back most
of the time is--you guessed it – money. If you would like to see our technology continue to grow you can help by volunteering on our
committee, or making a monetary donation to the technology fund. Donations can be included in the enclosed remittance envelope
or you can make a gift on-line by visiting www.burlingtonnotredame.com. Click on Make a difference.

Giving to the Notre
Dame Foundation
couldn’t be easier
Gifts may be made in a number of ways.
Depending on the specifics of your situation, giving might make financial sense too.
Here are some helpful tips to consider when
making charitable gifts to the Notre Dame
Foundation.
Annual Gifts It’s easy to make one-time or
annual gifts to the Notre Dame Foundation. You can simply fill out and return the
enclosed envelope with your gift.
Planned Giving Including Notre Dame
in your planned giving is also an excellent
way to help keep Catholic education alive
and well in our community. Gifts of cash
are the most popular types of charitable
gifts and are fully deductible. However,
gifts can take the form of a variety of other
assets, including stocks and securities, real
estate, insurance, life income, and personal
property. Each type of gift has different
requirements and benefits for the donor.
For more information, contact the Notre
Dame Foundation Development Director at
319-754-8431 x385.
Giving via your IRA
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008 offers additional giving opportunities for those 701/2 or older who own an
IRA and make regular charitable contributions. Call us for details.
Remembering a Loved One
Memorializing a loved one with a gift to
the Notre Dame Foundation will mean that
Catholic education in the Burtlington area
remains strong and vibrant. Memorials can
be created for specific purposes or can simply support the Notre Dame Foundation.
Contact the Notre Dame Foundation Development Director, 319 754-8431 x385, for
more information on how you can establish
a memorial to the Notre Dame Foundation.

Question:
What is
#GivingTuesday™?
MYSTERY PHOTO
Do you recognize this trio? They were ND
students over a decade ago! Here they are enjoying
some fun during the Catholic Schools Week
festivities! Email us your guesses today! Answers
will appear in the spring issue of Catch the Spirit!
The answer to our last mystery photo was none
other than Shannon Drew Kilbride (ND ‘84).
The first two correct guesses came from Sue
Hackenmiller (who commented that Shannon and
her daughter Riley, a junior at ND, look just alike)
and Debbie Johnston Lillie (ND ‘88) who recalled
that the girls’ basketball teams in Iowa at that
time played six on six.
Answer: #GivingTuesday™ (#GT) is a movement
to create a national day of giving to kick off
the giving season added to the calendar on
the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black
Friday and Cyber Monday. The second annual
GivingTuesday is on December 3, 2013.
The Burlington Notre Dame Foundation is proud to be a
new partner in this day of Giving. We encourage you to take
a moment on Tuesday December 3rd and make your end of
year donation supporting Catholic Education. You can send a
check to The Notre Dame Foundation, 702 S. Roosevelt Ave.,
Burlington, Iowa 52601 or to make your gift on-line go to www.
burlingtonnotredame.com, scroll down to “Make A Difference”
and click Donate Now.
The best part (besides feeling really good about yourself!) is that
YOU get to pick how you will make a positive difference at Notre
Dame Catholic Schools. Your gift is tax deductible and may be
designated to any of the following areas: Capital Improvements,
Curriculum, Faculty Support, General Fund or the St. Jude
Tuition Assistance Fund.
