Dear Shamrock Community,

Despite the unusually cold temperatures, flu and icy days,

IWHS students continue to display their excellence in

academics, sports, technology, and service. In January, we

celebrated our students honor roll successes and PSAT

achievements and hosted a Robotics tournament. We also

continue to celebrate our athletes whose good sportsmanship,

camaraderie and determination are revealed on the court and

on the field.

In the coming months, our students will have many

opportunities available to them. We are very excited about

offering the SAT free to all our Juniors in March. We look forward to welcoming our

new Class of 2022 and wearing our Red Dresses and eating our Candy Grams before

Lent. Our students are engaged in community life, clubs, and organizations and truly

make this campus a joyful place to be. Of course, all of these activities would not

materialize without the guidance of our amazing faculty.

Have a Blessed New Year,

Principal Jennifer Salazar

Robotics League Championship Tournament

O n Jan. 26-27, IWHS Robotics hosted

the Hill Country League's First Tech

Challenge Robotic League City

Championship with 35 teams registered.

Participating in the Hill Country

competition, the Shambots and Shambots

2.0 teams did an amazing job.

During regular game play, the teams

finished 2nd and 3rd for the entire season,

and then chose to team up

together as an alliance in the

Semi-finals and Finals. They

swept the competition on the

field in the Semi-Finals and

Finals, which are best 2-out-

of-3 matches. And that was

only the beginning. Team

5714, The Shambots, won

the award for programming.

Team 8627, The Shambots

2.0, won the Inspire

Award (top award presented)

and Team 5714 placed 3rd in

that category.

Inspire winners automatically advance to

the next level regardless of field

performance; however, as they were the

winning alliance, both teams qualified to

advance. Regionals, the Robotics

equivalent of State competition, takes place

in Austin February 16 –17.

Good Luck, Ladies

and Way to Shine, Shambots!!

Go Red for Heart Awareness

W hat is it that you need to let go of in

order to be the amazing person God

has called you to be? This is the question

posed by Fr. Pat O’Brian who conducted

the Mass on Jan. 2. He said that God does

not call us to play small: “We are too much

afraid of what other people will think.

We’re too much afraid of being wrong.

We’re too much afraid that maybe who we

are is not what other people want.” These

feelings deliver the wrong message - that

God made a mistake - that he made

something that other people don’t like. “If

other people don’t like us,” said Fr. Pat,

“the fault is with them. Each of us is

created with a divine imprint to develop

into what God wants us to be. . . As we

start this year let’s look at the ways we

have been playing small.” He asked the

girls to make a commitment to play big in

at least one part of their lives - to use the

gifts that God has given them to the best of

their ability.

I WHS joins The American Heart

Association’s Go Red For Women

Movement to help raise awareness and

save more lives. From Jan. 29 - Feb. 13,

the Ambassadors will be collecting

donations and distributing information to

help prevent heart disease. The campaign

culminates on Feb. 13 with several events

during the school day. There will be a

guest speaker from the American Heart

Association during Activity period. A

member of the UIW Nurse Faculty will

conduct a Health Clinic during the lunch

mods and the basketball team will hold a

Hoops for Hearts session during mods 16-

17, taking pledges for successful shots.

Also, IWHS will fly the Go Red Flag on

our flag pole below the Texas flag. Wear

Red on Feb. 13!

Lenten Project

T his year for IWHS’s Lenten project, we

will be assisting SAMM Ministries in

supplying much-needed items for the

homeless and for those who struggle for

the very basics of life's necessities.

Beginning February 14 (Ash Wednesday),

we will be requesting the following items

from Administration, Faculty, Staff and

students.

Freshmen and Administration - Socks

for men, women, & children (you do

not have to buy all three)

Sophomores and Faculty - Toothpaste

and toothbrushes for adults and

children

Juniors and Staff - women's deodorant

(they have enough men’s deodorant)

Seniors - bath soap and shampoo for

both men and women

The drive will run through Thursday,

March 1 and the students will turn in their

donations to their respective religion

teacher. Please encourage your students to

participate and remind them often of the

need that is out there in our very own

community.

Athletics

Dominion Winter Classic Tennis Invitational

T he IWHS Varsity Team had a

successful day at the Dominion

Tournament on Jan. 25, playing in icy

temperatures against extremely strong

players. In singles, Elina Osherow

obliterated her opponents, winning all

four matches and dropping only

eight games total on her way to the finals.

Unfortunately, the tournament was rained

out Saturday, so she did not get to play

her final match. Also in singles, Natalia

Camacho lost two tough matches,

but played excellent tennis and showed

that she's great at singles even though

she'd rather play doubles - her “sacrifice”

was much appreciated.

Avelina Petri and Genevieve Fleming

played with skill and precision, working

together like magic and winning all their

matches until the semifinals, where they

eventually lost a very close match. Monica

Hinojosa and Catalina Lopez also did very

well, playing many close games and killing

it at the net, but ultimately losing both

their matches.

Thank you also to our super team

managers, Zulema Avila and Tara

McLoughlin, who, in spite of almost

freezing to death, supported our players

through an incredibly long day of tennis

with their unrelenting positive attitude

and awesome team spirit.

JV Tennis The JV tennis team

played a very successful

tournament on Jan. 18.

Sianna Ayala came in

second place overall in

singles, and doubles team

Sophia Hall/Andrea

Gonzalez won consolation.

Emily Davis and Katherine

Kennedy played some

excellent singles, while

doubles team Hayden

Colson/Alyssa Tarin also

played very well!

The varsity tournament

Friday was canceled due to

rain, but before that,

Avelina Petri won a singles

match and Natasha Diaz-

Escobar/Natalia Camacho

won a doubles match.

Dear Parents, Students, and all others who

support our school in so many different

ways,

Registration for next year’s CloseUp trip

begins in February. This is our annual trip

to Washington, DC, and Williamsburg, Va.

If you register before the end of May, the

price of the trip is $1892 and may be paid in

installments. This price includes air fare, 3

meals a day, theatre tickets, hotels in

Washington and Williamsburg, all fees and

tips, and transportation including metro

tickets. It is a deal! Adults are invited as

well (although the adults have their own

bus so we are not always with the students).

Since we do not always do the same things

as the students, the adult trip is a little

more expensive — $2242.

I have gone on this wonderful trip for 25

years, and every year is exciting and

different. The students return energized by

being in DC and meeting over 250 kids from

around the world. We usually meet students

from Utah, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, and

California, with other states thrown in from

time to time. There are usually 6-7 different

states represented during this week. This

year the trip is from Nov. 24 – Dec. 1, 2018.

It is less expensive than spring time, MUCH

LESS crowded, and we can get in to see

everything we want to see.

CloseUp meets us at the airport and takes

us to our hotel where we check in. I try to

take the students to see some sights like the

White House and Smithsonians, just so they

can feel that they are in DC! CloseUp feeds

us that night and the next morning. On

Sunday we are on our own and I take the

girls to see George Washington’s home, Mt.

Vernon in Alexandria, Va. Via the metro

and busses. We have to buy our own lunch

that day. Then that night the girls are

officially on the program, and CloseUp

keeps tabs on them. The girls are part of

large and small groups to help keep track of

everyone. (Haven’t lost a kid so far!!)

CloseUp has security on each floor each

night including in Williamsburg for safety

reasons. St. Anthony’s will be joining us this

same week in November.

Please contact me with any questions or

contact CloseUp at www.closeup.org. Log in

on the Washington, Williamsburg trip to see

sample schedules, etc.

Dear Shamrock Community,

IWHS had another successful Catholic Schools Week. The theme “Communities of

Faith, Knowledge and Service” is practiced every day among the administration,

faculty and staff, and modeled by our girls. On Tuesday, Jan 31 Student Spirit

committee provided cupcakes for our girls during lunch mods for Student Appreciation

Day, showing how much we appreciate and love them. Catholic Schools Week is such a

fun and busy week. A huge Shamrock Shout Out to all who made this week a success.

I would like to extend a Thank You to the PTO members that are attending the

Khaki and Plaid Gala hosted by Hope for the Future to raise funds for families unable

to afford the cost of Catholic education. It is a great event for fun and fellowship with

other Catholic Communities.

Mother Daughter Committee has been working on a beautiful event this Saturday

February 4. This is a special tradition that PTO hosts every year and is such a great

way to spend your Sunday with other families in our community.

Finally PTO is committed to a “Community of Service” and through our “Time ,

Talent and Treasure” we are a “Community of Faith.” Thank you again for all you do!

“It’s All About the Girls”

Maria Resendiz

PTO President

Thank you PTO for starting our New

Year with a delicious lunch of soup and salad to help us stay warm

and healthy.
