Notre Dame Prep

this pretty much sums it all up…
only at ndp…
– do girls say their going to the bathroom and come back 30 min later with wing sauce around their mouth
– do you go to spring dance for the sole reason of the free rita’s
– at the end of lunch, everyone puts their finger on their nose
– do you spend your first weekend in march singing, dancing, exercising, and marching, and you love it
– usually a party follows this, but you don’t remember it the next day anyways
– are name tags constantly “on order”
– you are yelled at for sunbathing outside
– is there a midget door for storage
– every other person owns a north face backpack
– there is a little more than half of your student body mysteriously very tan year round
– does your school store sell ribbons, flip-flops, and purses (only if they have something beach related on them)
– do teachers let you leave cl-ss to eat, because you “forgot breakfast” that morning
– is half your tuition spent on laptop lockers for the entire soph-m-re and freshman cl-ss…..and about a total of 10 freshmen uses them
– do girls go weeks and weeks without shaving, just for the h-ll of it
– is an after school snack 8 pieces of pizza and 9 brownies
– is it cool to wear saddles to school dances as a senior
– is it completely normal and acceptable to eat anything and everything off of the floor regardless of the “5 second rule”
– do girls have food as their background on their laptop
– an after school meeting only has attendees if and only if there is food there
– is there a “regular” bathroom, and a “bulimic” bathroom
– do you think of an italian as something that you could by at a store
student: “ms. b, can i go to the bathroom?”
ms. b: “sure, but weturn quwickwy.”
15 minutes later…
student returns from “the bathroom” with oreo crumbs all over the front of her dress and ice cream in the corners of her mouth
…enough said

barbara barr: you might want to pull up your shorts
the school where everyone else thinks the uniforms are ugly and that gym meet has no meaning… yet the girls of ndp love their uniforms so much that they bring them to college and wear them out on halloween and gym meet is the reason for living.
gym meet, outsiders will never understand.

-stomp clap clap stomp clap-
the best school in maryland with one of the toughest highschool lacrosse teams in the friggin sport. enough said.
aka ndp

no need for an example really…
notre dame preparatory school was founded in 1873 by the school sisters of notre dame. although it is not located on the charles street campus any longer, but on its current 60-acre campus located on hampton lane in towson (a suburb of baltimore). it is an all girls catholic from 6-12 with many rich traditions such as penny queen, father’s follies, ring day, and of course the beloved gym meet.
the academics at notre dame prep are very challenging,unless you are in the phase two only accepted because you are a legacy kind of girl. the cl-sses in which you are enrolled in are harder than most college courses especially if you are in parallel. ndp offers many different courses for everyone.
there are many activities and sports that receive constant awards and recognition. most noted is the lacrosse team, which constantly goes to championships, also since pretty much if you are on the varsity team, you will get recruited by the college of your choice. other sports teams constantly win awards, championships, and recognition. the other activities include theater(dominated by ms. ward who constantly makes the drama kids cry because of her overpowering spite towards being young), speech and debate, various language clubs, paw, sadd, student council, campus ministry, camp umoja, etc.
