Monday afternoon the Hounds were fortunate to enjoy Cooper Rock Pictures' premiere of Struggle & Emerge: The Pere Athol Murray Story a documentary celebrating the life of Pere Athol Murray.

It's a very exciting three days for the Class of 2007 as they sit for their Graduation pictures.

Eric & April help John get 'suited up' for his Grad gown photos

April makes sure all of the paperwork is filled out properly. The Hounds have their photo proofs mailed home for their parents to receive. Retakes are after Easter holidays.

We have a lot of snow in the last few weeks. Last weekend a few of the Hounds decided to spend the day having fun building snow tunnels. This is right behind Max Bell Dorm.

This is how much snow we have built up behind the dorm. Bradley is standing in one of the tunnels. He's close to 6 feet tall!!

Brennan and Konrad in the tunnels.

David and Ryan working on their section..............they actually built three tunnels that all connected!!!

Bradley looks like a miner in there!!

Brantley, Ryan and David pose in front of their hard work!

Each morning the Notre Dame Family meets in Varsity for assembly. We sing our National Anthem, pray, announce the day's activities and celebrate achievements.

Assembly is where our SRC activities are announced. Today is the first day of the Annual Beard Growing contest. This highly anticipated event is officially underway!! These are the contests - clean shaven and ready to grow! Good luck guys!

Congratulations to Patrick Doherty on being named game MVP for "Team Blue" at the Hockey Regina Tier I All Star game on Feb 25th in Lumsden, SK. Patrick scored 1 goal and added 2 assists.

Also at the Hockey Regina Tier I All Star game Rusy Abbott played 20 minutes of shutout hockey in goal for Team Blue. Rusty was named Team Blue Goaltender MVP. Quite an accomplishment for any goaltender at an All Star Game. Congratulations!

Our dorms are amazing. Jordan brought back some great photos of daily life for you to enjoy. Barb, Mother Teresa Houseparent and ND graduate herself, working in her office in the dorm.

Each of the beautiful rooms in Mother Teresa has a work station for the ladies. Of course they are decorated in a style that suits the ladies individuality. Britany continues working while Jordan takes the picture.

The dorms have access to wireless internet from 3:30 pm until 10:00 PM on weekdays. The internet is shut off at curfew. Haley is seen here surfin' the net.

Jess working on an art project on the floor in her room.

At 9:30 it's time for dorm jobs! Every member of every dorm has cleaning responsibilities. Janelle and Britany have the difficult job of cleaning the bootracks! That's a lot of shoes to move and replace!!!

Congratulations to Daniel Park on being named to the Regina Intercollegiate 4A Boys Basketball All Star team. This is the 3rd consecutive year Daniel has earned this honor!!
