Welcome back Crusaders! Our staff of writers, and editors all hope you had a healthy, fun, and relaxing summer. As we all know, summer vacation is a great way to spend time with friends, family, pets, sleep in, go to the beach, take on a new project or two, and of course, travel! Many of our Cardinal Newman students got to travel to some amazing places around the country, and even the world! Through a student run survey we asked our students and teachers, “Where in the world have you been this summer?!”

Let’s check out some of their responses…
