Question
I have a question that is still not homework-related, even on my first day of school today.
What's up with the school name known as "Notre Dame"? I wonder if it's named after the university in Indiana. Some elementary and secondary schools in Canada have that same name.

Notre Dame is a favored Roman Catholic name. In French it means "Our Lady" and refers to the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ.

Check out a picture of my favorite cathedral -- Notre Dame in Paris, France.

Oh, okay. I'm now going to talk about the film "Rudy". (It's fittingly related to the university I'm talking about.) Have you seen it Ms. Sue?
It's very inspirational.
