FOR PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF LA SALLE HIGH SCHOOL • PASADENA • CALIFORNIA • JUNE / JULY 2014

Principal Ideas Learn•Serve•Lead

The month of April concluded with our celebration of our Founder’s Day Liturgy on April 30. We honored four students for their unique contributions to Saint La Salle’s spirit of service for those-in-need within our greater community: freshman, Kayla Quintero, sophomore, Samantha Hardy, junior Ricky Jurado and senior Carina Henry. At the core of the legacy of Saint La Salle is the firm commitment to service for the poor and those most in need within our local and greater community.

Additionally, we officially installed our new Student Life Officers for 2014-15: Riley Worley, President; Commissioners Makenzie LaPorte, Natalie Sirois, Madeline McGoldrick, Nate Chandler and Jenny Haderlein. That evening, we held a night rally in the gym that I believe was the best all year. It is always nice to save the best for last! (See page 26 for Showdown photos).

Lasallian Educator of the Year

On this day (April 30), we also

announced and honored our Lasallian Educator of the Year, Ms. Megan Foley. Since fall 2003, she has been the Director of our Band Program and is widely respected and appreciated for her work in the classroom as a music instructor and leader.

The young musicians of La Salle have benefited from her leadership, her evident passion for music appreciation and her personal style of encouragement.

Commencement The La Salle 55 th Commencement Exercises were held on May 23 and, as is always the case, the Church of Nazarene was filled with over 1500 guests who were present to honor our newest La Salle High School graduates. The ceremony had all the joy and happiness one could ask. I especially enjoy watching the faces of parents knowing that some of their long held dreams and desires for their son/daughter are occurring right before their eyes – graduation from high school. The personal and family sacrifices that are made by parents in order that their son/ daughter attends La Salle are most noteworthy.

Farewell

iPad Roll Out THIS August Megan Foley, Lasallian Educator of the Year awardee with Principal, Brother Christopher Brady, FSC. .

I never take a student’s enrollment for granted.

Thank you parents for allowing us to work with you during the high school years. I am confident our partnership makes a difference!

The iPad Program

As we continue to prepare for the roll-out of our iPad program this August, we know that many of our textbooks will be available in digital form.

We are currently working with ESCO, our official textbook supplier, to provide you with an accurate list of textbooks (both digital and hard back). This upcoming school year is one of transition. All freshmen, sophomores and juniors will be required to have an iPad. For seniors, while encouraged, an iPad is not mandatory. During this transitional year, we will use both digital textbooks and traditional textbooks. Please know that we are doing our best to keep all textbook costs at a reasonable price.

Later this month, we will give you more information on the textbook “swap meet” (NO date has been selected yet) as we finalize exactly what books are needed or are being discarded.

With the end of the school year having arrived, it means that we are also saying “good-bye” to some educators and staff who have served our school community well over the years. Mr. David Desmond has been at La Salle since 1999. As a teacher, coach, academic advisor and Social Studies Department Chair, Mr. Desmond has been a real asset to this school. He is relocating back to his home town of Sacramento to be near his family.

I am happy to report that he will be working at another Lasallian institution this August, Christian Brothers High School, his alma mater.

For the past 10 years, Mr. Steve (Ben) Bensinger, an instructor in the English Department has been working with sophomore and senior students. Mr. Bensinger has decided to pursue other opportunities and we thank him for his years of service. On the staff side, Ms. Kristen Donahue has been a vital part of our Institutional Advancement Office focusing on annual giving, grant research and assisting our Board of Regents. She will be moving to beautiful Grass Valley in Northern California this summer. Mr. Nate Housman, from the Class of 2003, has been assisting our students and parents for the past three years as school receptionist and attendance officer. He was the individual who greeted our campus visitors and answered countless questions. Mr. Housman has wanted to serve the medical profession as a registered nurse.

Earlier this month, he accepted an offer from Huntington Memorial Hospital to begin work and gain experience in a nursing program. We wish all of our departing friends the best in their future endeavors and thank them for their service to the students of La Salle.

Mr. John Ring

I have one last good-bye that deserves its own paragraph - Mr. John Ring. No one ever has nor is it likely that anyone will ever match John’s years of service to La Salle. He has held over the past 41 years the following titles/jobs: Director of Student Government; Athletic Director - at least three times; Vice Principal - now Associate Principal for Student Services; key master; coordinator of facilities use; calendar guru; unofficial holder of

all the secrets of the school for the last 41 years; and teacher. I kept teacher for last because there is no position, title, or job that John has ever held more dearly than that of teacher and Big Brother to the students entrusted to his care. He is most commonly the first faculty member in the building and definitely, the last one to leave and lock up each night. His son and daughter (Chris '01 and Teresa '03) have grown up watching their father care for this school and its students. They have followed in his footsteps and are both making a positive impact on the young Lancers they serve each day. John has decided to take an extended sabbatical next school year. We look forward to his return in whatever capacity that will serve our school community.

Thanks and Appreciation

As another academic year concludes at La Salle, I want to express my continued thanks and appreciation for your support and confidence this year. As Principal, I am blessed to be surrounded by a terrific and talented group of educators and support staff. They work very hard and I want to acknowledge their diligence in caring for the students entrusted to our care.

May all of you have a wonderful, rest-filled and action packed summer! I will be visiting our 49th state (Alaska) and exploring the land, the waterways and the people. Since it is such a large area to see, I am already thinking that I may have to make a return visit!

Brother Christopher Brady, FSC

Brother Christopher reports that the results for AMC (American Mathematics Competitions) are in and he is very excited to inform you of the results. The AMC is a particularly difficult test and our students worked very hard to be successful.

Math teacher and moderator, Mrs. Leah Rojhani tells us that the team had a rigorous schedule of extra practice and review for the test, as well as participating in math leagues. The team met once or twice a week for 40 minutes during lunch-time or after school to study math more intensely than students normally do in class. By working through challenging math problems, previous examinations, and discussing the questions and problems they continually prepared themselves for the competition. Â The results: Senior George Situ, has qualified to move on to the next level which is AIME Competitions, Invitational Mathematics Examination. Qualifying for the AIME is very difficult. The qualification for students in AMC-10 is the top 2.5% of all scorers; a score of at least 120 points.

AMC-12 is the top 5% of all scorers; a score of at least 100 points. George, who was the only junior in the AP BC Calculus last year, participated in AMC-12 last month, and has been acknowledged as an AIME Qualifier. He received the AMC Certificate of Distinction.

HIGH MARKS FOR MATH STUDENTS

Christina Nguyen '14 and Alison Chi '15 have been acknowledged as Team Members in AMC-12. Philip Krings '17 is a Winner in AMC-10. Tiantion Liu '17 and Rayen Sparkes '17 have been acknowledged as Team Members in AMC-12. Team Member is defined as one who receives the highest score.

La Salle Matters

WE CELEBRATE THE RICH DYNAMIC OF OUR DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION

PAGE 4

I recently received an email from a La Salle alum who is an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California, inviting me (and others) to follow his Blog he had created to chart his summer internship at the Hong Kong outpost of USC. On many levels, he is a remarkable young man. As a high school student, Roque regularly achieved a 4.0 GPA (or higher), was on our track and field team, involved in Student Life and was a Student Ambassador; oh, and he was a San Miguel Scholar as well.

Most members of the La Salle community know that the School provides nine San Miguel (full tuition) scholarships to incoming freshmen from Catholic elementary schools who demonstrate financial need and academic potential.

Over time, they have proved to be an impressive lot earning an average GPA of 3.1 - similar to that of their tuition-paying counterparts at La Salle. Even within the talent pool of the San Miguel Scholars, Roque is unusual. His drive to achieve in and out of the classroom was evident from the first moment he stepped on campus. He embraced life at La Salle with a gusto that is rare among young adolescents. So, it was no surprise to me that Roque was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to attend USC’s Marshall School of Business.

Having just completed his junior year at USC, Roque’s enthusiasm for learning opportunities did not begin with his journey to Hong Kong. He had already served as a Fellow at a marketing firm based in New Jersey and he was one of 90 students selected last summer to intern in Taipei for two months through the Universitysponsored Global Fellows Internship Program.

Now he is in Hong Kong assisting in the launch

of the University’s international academy this summer. This internship is highly competitive and Roque was one of two USC students selected to participate. All this while excelling in his course work and being selected as captain of the USC Trial Advocacy Team…and now he is blogging about the experience.

As I thought about how much Roque has accomplished in three short years, it occurred to me that, in addition to his intellectual talent, intense commitment to the task at hand and amazing resolve, there is an additional factor, rooted in the culture of La Salle that, as the Marketing Committee of the Board of Regents likes to remind me from timeto-time, is often obscured by our tendency towards modesty in celebrating the accomplishments of our students. That factor - embracing diversity as an educational end in itself - pushes our students to become their best selves in the four short years they spend with us. Embracing diversity has been at the center of the philosophy of Lasallian schools across the globe since Saint John Baptist de La Salle founded them over 300 years ago. As one commentator once observed: “La Salle believed that rather than undermining society, the education of the poor and working class would lift all of society.”

Indeed, so successful were his schools that middle class and affluent families were soon attracted to them. Brother Gerard Rummery, FSC a prolific educational philosopher on the unique value of Lasallian schools framed their contribution this way:

ParentNewsletter

JUNE / JULY 2014

“The counter to this (schools segregated by wealth and class) was the school which “ran well” (a frequent expression of De La Salle), where all children could come irrespective of their social status, and where all could obtain the basic education which made them capable of obtaining useful steady employment, thereby enhancing their human dignity.”

In short, Brother Gerard notes that “La Salle made it possible for the poor boy and the better off boy to sit on the same benches.” This was a key element of De La Salle’s educational genius and continues to characterize today’s Lasallian schools located in over 83 countries. By making it possible for wealth and class to become irrelevant in the school, De La Salle made it possible for teachers and students to learn from each other - “together and by association.”

At La Salle, we celebrate the rich dynamic that is created when students from all walks of life gather together in the same space. We know that the bonds of friendship of association - nurtured in an ethnically and economically diverse world benefits everyone and makes it possible for students to become their best selves. At La Salle, Roque’s story is impressive, but not unique. We expect every student, regardless of background, to seize opportunities as they present themselves, to stretch the limits of their imagination and to look to their peers for lessons that only a diverse student body is capable of producing.

I asked Roque if I could share his Blog with the readers of this space. He was happy to give me permission: https://roquehk2014.blogspot.com/ Oh, and by the way, he just made the second round cut for a position next year as a White House intern.

Juniors Capture the Sun

Algebra II Honors, taught by Ms. Lisa Schulman, created a project to demonstrate a point of focus for solar energy. Students planned, brainstormed, and developed their design on paper then they calculated the best fitting equation for a parabola with a focus point where the cooking skewers would be placed. Next, they took cardboard boxes and made their designs come to life. After lining their cookers with aluminum foil, they were ready to cook with solar energy. These solar hot dog cookers work similarly to how satellites and flashlights function. The sunlight bounces off the reflective parabolic shape and directs the heat towards the skewer, which is why it is called a “focus point� cooker.

Top, students in Algebra II Honors class construct Solar Cookers. Above Jessica Cabot and Claire Faber enjoy the bi-product of their experiment. Top left, class members carry out the solar focus point experiment. Left, determined best of class cooker were builders, Victoria De La Rosa, Jackson Ratkovich and Stephany Haro.

Lancers' Summer Report

SUPPORT LANCER ATHLETICS

I want to thank the graduating class of 2014 one last time for all their efforts and their examples of dedication to our athletic program. They have set the bar high for our new and returning athletes.

Summer is the time when our young athletes begin the process of preparing for fall and winter sports. Our student athletes will put in long hours of training this summer. Their dedication to La Salle amazes me year after year.

Our football team's schedule has moved into the Mission League. Its membership includes Saint Francis, Cathedral, Salesian, HarvardWestlake and St. Paul. All are top-rated programs, so get ready for some exciting football in the fall.

Coach Gordon looks forward to a very good class of freshman boys to join the Lancers' football teams.

Football Packages

Many are familiar with the past Athletic Boosters Football Packages and, in keeping with that spirit, we have added some great new programs for our parents and fans to participate in: Platinum Package $1,000 Includes 2 field passes, 2 meals, and a VIP parking pass for each home game. Also included are 2 Lancer stadium chairs, 2 La Salle shirts and 2 Lancer hats. This is for all home games. CIF playoff regulations require an entry fee, but all other advantages apply.* Gold Package $550 2 passes for reserved seating, 2 meals, parking for 1, each home game. Also included are 2 Lancer stadium chairs, 2 La Salle shirts and 2 hats.

1 pass for reserved seating, parking for 1, each home game. (Package pending bleacher reconfiguration).

If you are interested in any of these packages please contact me at the email shown below.

We will also be offering ticket purchases online, so check the Athletic Website during the summer for updated information.

Girls Volleyball will be nationally ranked again this year and even though they have lost a few of their top players, they are still loaded with talent and we expect them to make a run at the championship again. Girls Volleyball has been one of the most exciting stories at La Salle since Coach Tuitama took over and turned them into a Southern California power house. If you have not been to a game, you are missing something special.

This summer, basketball, baseball, volleyball and water polo will be holding their summer camps.

All of our programs are on the up-swing and are making a good showing in their leagues and playoffs each season, so we expect much out of them this year.

This year, we have lost several parents to graduation and are in need of filling two board positions: Secretary and Program Sales. So if you are interested, please contact me at jdcina@sbcglobal. net. You can also find out more regarding schedules and results on our athletics website. Please visit the La Salle Athletic Website at www.lasallelancers.org Have a great summer!

Prior to La Salle’s graduation on Friday, May 23, Renaissance Forster, left and Elizabeth Lynch received leather bound and engraved Certificates of Appointment to the United States Military Academy.

Lancers Appointed to West Point

La Salle High School is proud to announce that two graduating seniors, Renaissance Forster, and Elizabeth Lynch have been admitted to the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Forster is an honors student and All-League volleyball player who helped lead the Lancers to their second consecutive CIF D1 Volleyball Championship. Forster says she looks forward to earning her commission as she comes from a long line of family members who have served their country in the military. “It was just a dream as a young girl to go to West Point, but La Salle challenged me and as I worked harder and got better grades, West Point became a possibility, then a reality. I love a challenge and I think it would be hard to find a bigger challenge than going to a military academy.” She was courted by both the Army and Naval Academy at Annapolis to attend on an athletic scholarship, yet she chose the Army because she was accepted on her academic achievement alone. “I still plan to “walk-on” the volleyball team and I think I have a good shot at playing for the Black Knights,” she says. Forster will study medicine at the Academy and most likely graduate as a medic. She hopes to earn her MD following her active duty.

Elizabeth Lynch said, “It’s kind of corny, but I really want to serve my country. That’s why I applied to West Point. Plus I’ll get an education at one of the best schools in the country.” A member of CSF and the NHS, Lynch is also a four-year cheerleader who led the Lancers to a top ten finish in the 2014 National Cheer Championships. “I love the competition and the friendships you make in cheer,” she says. “I had an opportunity to practice with the Rabble Rousers, the Academy cheer team, during my overnight stay at West Point. I hope to make the team this summer and I’m really excited about that.”

Lynch has yet to declare a major, but hopes to make the military her career.

The prospective members of the Class of 2018 will report to West Point for the first time on July 2, 2014.

CAMP COLLEGE JUNE 9 and AUGUST 11

Class of 2014

College Survey

Congratulations to the Class of 2014! We wish all members of this class good luck as they begin their college years. We have really enjoyed helping each and every graduate find their college “match.” We look forward to staying in touch and would like you to serve as a resource for La Salle students to contact to learn more about your college and your freshman year experience.

In May, we completed our meetings with all juniors who have submitted their College Planning Survey for Juniors. Your students received a list of prospective colleges on Naviance to investigate.

Summer is a good time to research and visit colleges and work on a personal statement. Ms. Baldonado and Mr. Hou recommend all students narrow their college list down to 6-8 schools by the fall.

A College Planning Survey for Seniors and a parent questionnaire will be available on Naviance mid-July. Both student survey and parent questionnaire are due to their counselor

by September 5. Ms. Baldonado or Mr. Hou will meet with each member of the class of 2015 to review their college list in the fall before the college application period.

To minimize the number of meetings for our parents, the Senior College Information Night will be held on the same evening as our Back-toSchool-Night on Thursday, August 28. Seniors and their parents should mark their calendars to attend the mandatory College Information night. During this meeting, we will be discussing the application protocol/paperwork, letters of recommendation, essay writing tips and lots of other pertinent information.

Camp College

Plan to Visit Colleges

Class of 2015

The College Center will be offering a three-day seminar for rising seniors. The purpose of this course is to provide hands-on interaction with students who need additional help with their college planning and application process. At the completion of this course, students will have created an organizational system, completed two college essays and learned in depth about college visitations, interviews, recommendations, financial aid, and developed a much better understanding of the colleges’ selection process. The cost of Camp College is $225, which includes the Summer Institute registration fee. The complete summary of the course can be found in the Summer Academic Institute brochure or online at www.lasallehs.org.

Two sessions are available for students to choose: June 9 – June 11, 8:00am. to 12:00pm.

August 11 – August 13, 8:00am. to 12:00pm.

Please contact Mr. Hou should you need more information on Camp College.

PAGE 16

Visiting colleges during the school year is one of the most valuable experiences in the college planning process. Not only does it help your student determine whether a college is a good fit, it also sends a strong message to the college admission office that your student is seriously considering their college. Looking at next year’s calendar, the best time to plan an out-of-town visit is during mid-October, as there will be no school on Friday, October 10, Monday, October 13 (Columbus Day), and Wednesday, October 15 (Standardized testing for all non-seniors).

Standardized Testing

All members of the class of 2015 should have taken the ACT and/or the SAT by this time.

Students who plan to apply to certain east coast colleges should also take two SAT Subject exams in the fall. A list of colleges that require/recommend SAT Subject Tests can be found at http://www. compassprep.com/admissions_req_subjects.aspx.

Although the UCs no longer require two SAT

ParentNewsletter Subject Tests, they are still recommended and strongly recommended for engineering and science majors.

Fall exam dates are as follows:

SAT Reasoning AND Subject Tests October 11 November 8 December 6

ACT September 13 October 25 December 13 Register early! Registration deadlines are usually about five weeks before the test dates.

For those students who have not taken an SAT prep course, Princeton Review will be offering a four-week SAT prep course on campus late September for students taking the October 11 SAT. Test 1

Class of 2016

The class of 2016 will be taking the PSAT on Wednesday, October 15. PSAT/NMSQT stands for Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. It is a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT Reasoning Test. It also gives you a chance to enter National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) scholarship programs.

All Junior students will be taking the ACT at La Salle on February 7, 2015 for no charge. The Juniors will register for the ACT during Mentor Period in September so there is nothing to do on your part. In addition, most juniors will be taking the SAT Reasoning test for the first time in the Spring of 2015. If the family is considering a testprep course for the SAT, we suggest you choose a program that finishes close to the test date.

Those students who are involved in a winter sport, theatre or have a full schedule during the months of January, February and March, might consider taking a test prep course over the summer or during the fall and take the SAT in October.

Utilize Naviance! Remind your student to add their school and non-school activities and awards they received during freshman and sophomore years in “My Resume”. This is a great place to gather information and keep it organized for the college application process. Also, complete the ‘personality type’ assessment. Successful completion of the Do What You Are® Self Discovery Personality Type assessment will generate a report that will provide your student with important information about their personal characteristics.

Your student will learn about careers that match their characteristics, their personal strengths and blind spots, how they negotiate in their daily life, and a host of other useful information.

CHECK ACT AND SAT TEST DATES

Class of 2017

This year, the Class of 2017 registered on Naviance during Mentor period. Naviance is a college planning website where students can research colleges, their interests and careers. Your student can start keeping track of their school and non-school activities and awards they received during freshman year in “My Resume”. Naviance is a great place for students to organize and keep track of their information for college applications.

NOTE COLLEGE TOUR DATES

Parents also have a personal log-in. Please contact Ms. Baldonado if you have not received your unique registration code for Naviance.

Both the classes of 2017 and 2018 will take the ACT Aspire on Wednesday, October 15. The Aspire replaces the PLAN and Explore and is the new precursor to the ACT. Please note that the ACT is as widely accepted among the colleges as the SAT. In addition to providing practice for the ACT, Aspire has a unique section that tests science skills, which provides valuable feedback to our science department.

Fall College Tours

We will again be touring colleges this fall and we will kick off by visiting UC Irvine, California State Fullerton, and Chapman University on Monday, September 22. The Bay Area Tour will be held during the Spring Semester (on Friday, February 13 and Saturday, February 14). We will be visiting UC Berkeley, Stanford, Saint Mary’s College, University of San Francisco, Santa Clara University and UC Santa Cruz.

General Information

Students should use their summer time wisely. It is a great time to read (helps build vocabulary and critical thinking skills), find a job (helps with time-management and communication skills) participate in an activity that they are passionate about (athletics, music, theatre, academics, etc.) or give their time to an organization that can use an extra pair of hands (contact Ms. Grima for non-profit organizations in the San Gabriel Valley).

The colleges featured in Loren Pope’s book Colleges That Change Lives (aka CTCL) will have an information session and a college fair at the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City on Tuesday, July 30 and Wednesday, July 31, 2014, 7:00p.m. (choose one to attend).

Wednesday and Thursday, July 31 & August 1, 2014, 7:00pm.

Mind the Mission

By Patrick Bonacci, AFSC, Vice President for Mission

As you may recall, I wrote the following for the

April ParentNewsletter:

As in the past, the participants included: current students, current parents, past parents and alumni, faculty, administrators, and members of the Regents and Trustees.

This Workshop was initiated by Dr. Gray and the leadership of the Board of Regents and the planning and organization for each Workshop has been entrusted to a standing committee created by the Board of Regents – the Mission Support Committee. Each year, the Committee reviews various aspects linked to the life and experience of the students and the school that relate to the School’s established Mission. Yearly, the Committee establishes the focus areas that will be examined at the Spring Workshop. These focus areas are examined through the collection and analysis of data: student surveys, standardized test scores, multiple interview sessions conducted with students, program directors and faculty. The accumulated data is then presented to all of the participants at the Spring Workshop for their review and discernment.

I also indicated to you that once the Mission Support Committee gathered all

of the comments that where part of the discussions held by the Workshop attendees, I would share those comments with you. Each of the six workshop focus groups submitted their comments and for each of their focus areas they indicated “strengths” and “areas needing improvement.” This document is too large to include on this page; but you can find the complete Summation of the Work Product of the Mission Effectiveness Workshop as an attachment to this ParentNewsletter. This summation has also been given to the Administration, faculty and support staff, the Board of Trustees and the Board of Regents for their review. The Mission Support Committee has already begun to plan for the 2015 Mission Effectiveness Workshop and I will subsequently share with you next school year what areas of the school’s mission they are going to focus their attention.

MISSION YEAR REPORT

The Class of 2014

I want to add my congratulations and praise for the Class of 2014. I had the privilege of teaching many of the graduates when they were young and slightly starryeyed 9th graders as well as being the Mentor Period teacher for 19 wonderfully eclectic and fun-filled graduates. It is a blessing to have been part of their years at La Salle and I look forward to many more years of association with them as our honored graduates.

From Guidance and Counseling

Lessons of the Little Prince

By Susan E. Keens, Ph.D. Clinical and School Psychologist, Department of Guidance and Counseling

"The Little Prince" is a story written by Antoine de St. Exupery. The story tells us about the adventures of a young Prince from a distant star whose spaceship crashes into the dunes of the Sahara Desert.

The young prince meets a series of characters in the story. His interactions with them become lessons which illustrate some very important aspects of being human and in relationship with others. As your students move forward in their lives, stop and consider the lessons contained in "The Little Prince."

One particularly poignant interaction is that of the Prince with a fox. It describes what it means to be emotionally attached to another. The Prince first sees the fox as no different than “a hundred thousand other foxes.” The Prince and the fox “stare at one another for a long time.” The Prince is lonely and asks the fox to play with him. The fox does not understand, since his experience of men is that they hunt foxes as he in turn hunts chickens. Friendship is something new. When describing it to the Prince, the fox says “It is an act too often neglected,” said the fox. It means to establish ties.”

“'To establish ties’?” “Just that,” said the fox.

“To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world." The prince learns that if he tames the fox, if he ‘establishes ties’ with the fox, they will become unique to one another and forever linked.

The fox describes what it will be like for him to be tamed by the Prince. “But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder?

I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat...”

Whereas the fox was isolated and ‘bored’, as he describes his existence, after meeting the Prince, he will now look forward to meeting with him. Ordinary things, like the color of the wheat, or the sound of the Prince’s footstep, will remind the fox of the Prince. They will no longer be ordinary. They will be reminders of his friendship-his ties-with the Prince. It is a special time, just for the fox and the Prince.

PAGE 20

ParentNewsletter

JUNE / JULY 2014

As the time approaches that the fox and the Prince will meet, the fox is filled with anticipation. Nothing in his world will remain the same, if he has been tamed by the Prince. So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near-- “Ah,” said the fox, “I shall cry.” “It is your own fault,” said the little prince. “I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you...”

“Yes, that is so,” said the fox.

“But now you are going to cry!” said the little prince.

“Yes, that is so,” said the fox.

Good ADVICE From tHE Little PrinCE

“Then it has done you no good at all!”

“It has done me good,” said the fox, “because of the color of the wheat fields.” And then he added: “Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will make you a present of a secret.” The Prince then goes to look at his roses and returns to learn the fox’s secret: And he went back to meet the fox. “Goodbye,” he said. “Goodbye,” said the fox. “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” “What is essential is invisible to the eye,” the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember. “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.”

“It is the time I have wasted for my rose--” said the little prince, so that he would be sure to remember.

“Men have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. “But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

You are responsible for your rose...”

And, so it is with our children, whom we have ‘tamed:’ with whom we have established ties. They, like the Prince, will have to say goodbye as they must, in order to move forward into their lives. But, as with the fox, they will carry you into their futures, for you have tamed them.

Pope, Brady, Salazar Strike Girl Scout Gold art classes helped the children to think creatively in the way they painted, organized their ideas on paper, and captured their individual progress through art portfolios," Olivia said.

Gold Award Recipient – Jennifer Brady, Class of 2014

Jennifer is a member of Troop 2581 in Sierra Madre and she received her Gold Award earlier in 2014. As part of the process to earn the Gold Award she established a volleyball league at Sierra Vista Park. The purpose of the project was to encourage children to become more active while having fun at the same time. The project was an attempt to combat childhood obesity.

Jennifer graduated summa cum laude and will be taking pre-pharmacy courses at Purdue University in the fall with the goal to become a Doctor of Pharmacy.

GIRL SCOUTS HIGHEST HONOR

Gold Award Recipient – Olivia Pope, Class of 2015

After 11 years as a Girl Scout, Olivia Pope received the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award that Girl Scout Seniors can earn, in June, 2014. She is a member of Girl Scout Troop 2581 based in Sierra Madre, and will be graduating from La Salle in 2015. One of Olivia’s passions is studio art, and she chose to paint an educational mural at a local public preschool, Canyon Early Learning Center in Monrovia for her Gold Award project. In addition, she taught art classes for the afterschool class at the school. Her hope was to provide more visual arts as part of the education process because it has been proven that art helps children understand other subjects more clearly and promotes activity in the brain.

This was a spirit-filled event that included food trucks, class rallies and class competitions between the freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors in some ridiculously funny events in Duffy Lewis Gymnasium.

Food trucks at the event were Slammin Sliders, Don Chow Tacos, Maui Wowi Smoothies and more. Parents, families and friends were there to enjoy the food and come to cheer on their students as the seniors pulled out a win in the last event.

This year, Advanced Band, String Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble traveled to the Big Apple on April 19-23, 2014. It was a very busy trip filled with much music and sightseeing. The Lancers performed at Rockefeller Center and aboard the USS Intrepid. They participated in band clinics with NYU at Church For All Nations; visited Dizzy’s Jazz Club, Coca Cola and met with special guest, John Faddis; had dessert with NY Philharmonic performers. They also attended the Broadway play, "Newsies", which was followed by a Q&A session with the cast. The students were able to explore the many sites while in the city - attended Easter Mass at The Actor’s Chapel, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Chelsea Market, visited the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center, walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building for aerial night views of NY, Radio City Music Hall Tour, Ellis Island with lunch at The Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and rode the subway. La Salle’s finest -- the students were great.

By John Blackstock, The Editor

Names in the News

BREAKING NEWS - Senior Garret Mak advanced to the final round of 16 in the CIF individual Tennis championships. Mak became the first player in the history of the La Salle tennis program to advance to this round of the tournament. “It feels good,” the SMU-bound Mak said of making it to this stage of the draw. “It’s only been about five months since I’ve been playing hard again, but I feel like I should be here.” Lancers coach, Tim Pawley commented, “Coming off a year of injuries, to come back his senior year and set a record in the sense that no one has ever gone past the third round, that’s a pretty proud moment for the school, for him, his parents, and the community.”

India Hines '15

Also, freshman Abby Siracusa, Girls Varsity Tennis team member, made it to the Championship Match of the 22nd Annual San Gabriel Valley Jr. Tennis Tournament in May and brought home the Finalist trophy.
