On Mondays during the summer, rising 9th graders, high schoolers and alumni are invited to join us for Awaken! in the high school. From 8-10pm, every evening starts out with Eucharistic Adoration in our Chapel of the Holy Spirit, followed by a group activity or game.

Today’s students see themselves as digital natives, the first generation to grow up surrounded by technology like smartphones, tablets and e-readers.

Teachers, parents and policymakers certainly acknowledge the growing influence of technology and have responded in kind. We’ve seen more investment in classroom technologies, with students now equipped with school-issued iPads and access to e-textbooks.

In 2009, California passed a law requiring that all college textbooks be available in electronic form by 2020; in 2011, Florida lawmakers passed legislation requiring public schools to convert their textbooks to digital versions.

Did you know? Our brains are moldable and changeable all throughout our lives.

The most recent neuroscientific research shows that our brain’s actual physical architecture “adapts to new information, reorganizing itself and creating new neural pathways based on what a person sees, hears, touches, thinks about, practices, and so on” (The Yes Brain, p. 17). This is called neuroplasticity. As a parent we can keep this in mind and know that when we help our children try and practice new skills, for example, we are not only helping them experience new things, the experience is also building new linking connections in the brain. God is so wise in His design of our brain!!

Did you know? Our parenting helps our children’s brains wire and rewire, integrate brain functions, and therefore improve their emotional, intellectual, and social skills.

Experiences shape our children’s brains through neurons firing together and making connections to other neurons. “This wire-and-rewire process is what integration is all about: giving our children experiences to create connections between different parts of the brain. When these parts collaborate, they create and reinforce the integrative fibers that link different parts of the brain” (The Whole- Brain Child, p.8). We can influence this integration in our day-to-day parenting. Check out the book for more explanation!
