Joe Haug Run

This year’s fourth annual Joe Haug Give Thanks 5K Run was a huge success! On Saturday November 20, nearly 100 participants came out to support the St. Dominic community and the beloved Joe Haug, a former track and cross country coach and teacher at our school. Despite the chilly temperatures, the participants had fun spending time with one another as they supported a great cause. All the proceeds raised at the event go toward scholarships for St. Dominic students. We are so thankful for Joe Haug and everyone who helped with the event to make a huge difference in our Crusader community!

The Death of Vine
Vine’s six seconds of fame are over. Beginning in 2013, users have enjoyed making and sharing short videos on the app. However, as the years have gone by, more users have moved on to other social media sites and Twitter, the platform’s owner, is nearly bankrupt. Because of this, the discontinuation of the app is not a surprise to most people. The news of Vine’s end has been around for months, but new rumors are surfacing that Twitter may plan to sell and save the app. Nevertheless, there are new apps that allow former Vine users to save their videos so they will not disappear. Before the app is no more, watch or make as many Vines as you can to savor the last moments of this one-hit wonder.
