MADISON -- Blessed Sacrament School recently held a blood drive in honor of one of its students diagnosed with leukemia for a second time.
The first blood drive in honor of fourth-grader Nora Williamson was held in November of last year.
Former Blessed Sacrament student and current Edgewood High School student Kevin Thomas organized the blood drive.
Thomas has been volunteering with the Red Cross since he was 14. About a year ago, he met Nora and learned she had leukemia.

MIDDLETON -- There's a welcome sight once a week at the 8:15 a.m. daily Mass at St. Bernard Church in Middleton.
About 15 to 20 Middleton High School students take advantage of a late-start day to go to Mass and have breakfast together.
It's one of many activities in the Cardinal Virtue youth apostolate for high school students in the Middleton area. It's a joint effort by four parishes: St. Bernard in Middleton, St. Francis Xavier in Cross Plains, St. Peter in Ashton, and St. Martin of Tours in Martinsville.

DODGEVILLE -- Two teams of students in grades three through five from St. Joseph School in Dodgeville will be competing in the World Finals of the Odyssey of the Mind. The competition is set for May 22-25 on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, Mich.
The Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics.
"Our school became involved in it just last year because some parents asked about it, and I had always wanted to get it going," said Principal Sharon Wimer. "It seemed like a great opportunity to promote creative thinking and originality, and showcase some of our talented students."

Latest Youth Column
In my favorite photo from college, my friend Cara and I are standing next to each other at a party, making funny faces. We could be any other teen best friends in the world, except for what we’re wearing: Cara's in a typical blue Abercrombie & Fitch babydoll sports shirt, while I’m in black eyeliner, black nail polish and a black shirt emblazoned with the word "Anticrombie."
We couldn’t look more different.
The really funny thing about it is that people didn’t understand that we were friends. We liked hanging out with each other. We cared about each other. We went to parties together, laughed together and worked through bad breakups together.
They blink at the picture. They tilt their head. They just don’t get it. All they see is the goth and the prep in a picture that our culture tells them shouldn’t exist. All they see are the clothes, not the people.
