<strong>Falcon</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

A Message From the President:<br />

Let the games begin! On Friday, an estimated<br />

4 billion people around the world watched the<br />

opening ceremony of the London Olympics.<br />

It’s remarkable to think that more than 10,000 of the<br />

world’s finest athletes representing 204 countries<br />

are joining together to compete at the highest level.<br />

Thanks to the wonders of technology we can watch<br />

events as they stream live on the internet and follow<br />

our hometown athletes on Twitter. I’ve got a front row<br />

seat in London any time, day or night, and I didn’t even<br />

have to get on a plane.<br />

The world is deeply connected and today’s students are<br />

connected, global citizens. Our mission, as Catholic,<br />

Lasallian educators, calls for us to be innovative in<br />

ensuring that our students are prepared to be take their<br />

place as ethical leaders in this new world. Today, that<br />

means an international education that equips them with<br />

the cultural knowledge, social skills and integrity to<br />

meet the challenges of a changing world.<br />

To that end, we have made the strategic decision<br />

to expand our school community and launch an<br />

International Student Program. This year, we are<br />

welcoming seven students from China, one student<br />

from Colombia, and three students from Italy. Our<br />

plan is to grow the program slowly and circumspectly<br />

to ensure that all of the students are well served and<br />

cared for during the transition and throughout the years<br />

they are with us.<br />

What we had not anticipated was the high demand<br />

for admission to <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Brothers</strong> from students and<br />

parents in China. What we have learned is that higher<br />

education options in China are limited and discerning<br />

Chinese families want American colleges. These<br />

families understand that an outstanding college prep<br />

school is a critical part of the formula. Each of the<br />

seven young men and women to whom admission was<br />

• Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve •<br />

offered has accepted our invitation. According<br />

to our partners at the Cambridge Institute of<br />

Education, this is unprecedented. We can all be<br />

proud that CB’s programs are “world class.”<br />

We are blessed to live in a region that is richly<br />

multicultural and CB is microcosm of that<br />

diversity. Adding an international component will<br />

help prepare all of our students to thrive in college<br />

and as global citizens. In addition to welcoming 11<br />

international students, we are further blessed this<br />

year to welcome 26 exceptional transfer students<br />

from schools throughout the Sacramento region.<br />

Please join me in welcoming these young men and<br />

women as they begin their journey as <strong>Falcon</strong>s.<br />

We are grateful to the CB families who have opened<br />

their homes to our international students and we<br />

look forward to a positive and enriching cultural<br />

experience for all members of the CB community.<br />

As we begin our 137th year of Catholic, Lasallian<br />

education in Sacramento, thank you for partnering<br />

with us in your daughter’s/son’s education. We<br />

look forward to seeing you on August 16 TH .<br />

God bless,<br />

Lorcan P. Barnes<br />

Lasallian Student Life Program<br />

NEW!!! Campus Ministry has been restructured into the<br />

Lasallian Student Life Program!<br />

The Lasallian Student Life Program at<br />

<strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Brothers</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> unifies<br />

and promotes the faith, service and<br />

community aspects of our school,<br />

providing a dynamic and diverse<br />

opportunity for student participation in<br />

faith-building activities. This program<br />

meets CB’s need for vital and viable<br />

student life experiences through which<br />

students grow their faith, develop<br />

leadership skills, and are empowered to<br />

take pride and ownership of their school.<br />

This model manifests the Lasallian core<br />

principles, helping students to know,<br />

articulate and live the mission of our<br />

school.<br />

The Lasallian Student Life Office is<br />

facilitated by five faculty members:<br />

Directors of Faith Formation (Retreats);<br />

Director of <strong>Christian</strong> Service; and Directors<br />

of Community/Worship (Liturgies). Each<br />

of these team members works<br />

collaboratively with students to organize<br />

and participate in multiple student<br />

events and experiences throughout the<br />

year. The Lasallian Student Life Program is<br />

directed from the Student Life Center, an<br />

office and workspace shared with Student<br />

Activities which we hope becomes the<br />

heart of our school. Students interested in<br />

working in the areas of Faith, Service, and<br />

Community are welcome each year to<br />

participate through a variety of means.<br />

These students are provided with the<br />

training and the tools to be leaders of<br />

faith at CBHS.<br />

A Parent’s Prayer<br />

Loving God,<br />

I thank You for the gift of my<br />

children and for the privilege and<br />

responsibility of being a parent,<br />

for this is my way of holiness.<br />

May I regard each of my children<br />

as a sacred pledge of Your love<br />

and a beautiful sign of Your<br />

confidence in me.<br />

Help me to pass on to my children<br />

our greatest treasures,<br />

faith in Your truths,<br />

hope in Your goodness,<br />

love in Your Name for all.<br />

I entrust my children to<br />

Your loving care.<br />

Banish from our home any<br />

bitterness or lack of forgiveness.<br />

Let us have time, deep<br />

concern, and a sense of sacrifice<br />

for one another.<br />

Help us to live in the way<br />

of Jesus, sharing the truth and love<br />

of the Gospel message.<br />

Give us Your Holy Spirit<br />

to unite, bless, and inspire<br />

our family.<br />

Amen.<br />

Words of<br />

St. John Baptist<br />

de La Salle<br />

If you show the firmness of<br />

a father in withdrawing the<br />

children from evil,<br />

you should also show the<br />

tenderness of a mother<br />

in gathering them together,<br />

and in doing them all the<br />

good in your power.<br />

The Senior Retreat Leadership Team will participate in their training session/<br />

The Senior Kairos Retreats will take place September 25-28 and November<br />

13-16, 2012, and January 22-25, 2013. This is a four-day, student-led retreat grounded in<br />

the <strong>Christian</strong> belief that God is very much a part of our real world, especially through the<br />

continuing presence of Jesus Christ as he shows himself to us through our family and<br />

friends. Kairos is an experience of <strong>Christian</strong> community, with a series of talks given by<br />

both student peers and adults. Prayer and self-discovery are also essential parts of this<br />

program, as well as the retreatants’ involvement in discussions and other exercises. A<br />

letter will go home to all senior parents with details about this retreat.<br />

Juniors are also invited to make their Kairos retreat early, the week<br />

after school is out, when they are “brand-new” seniors. The Junior Kairos will be held<br />

May 28-31, 2013.<br />

Junior retreats are overnight retreats held at Christ the King Retreat Center in<br />

Citrus Heights; two are held in the fall semester, and two occur in the spring semester. A<br />

letter with details will go home to all junior parents. The focus of this retreat is “Christ’s<br />

Message for Me – My Journey.” Please see the school calendar on the CB website for the<br />

dates of Junior retreats.<br />

Sophomore retreats, held at the Newman Center (across from CSUS), also take<br />

place during fall and spring semesters. Focusing on “Who Is Christ in My Life? What Are<br />

My Choices and Values?” these one-day retreats will be further explained in a letter that<br />

will go home to sophomore parents. Please see the school calendar on the CB website<br />

for the dates of these retreats.<br />

Sophomore, Junior, and Senior retreats are optional. Students may sign up for these<br />

retreats in the Lasallian Student Life Office.<br />

The Frosh retreat will occur during the first semester on Wednesday, October<br />

17 from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on the CB campus for all freshman students. This is a<br />

mandatory retreat; all frosh are required to attend. With the theme “Who Am I?” the<br />

frosh will explore their self-identity, their new CBHS identity, and their new membership<br />

in the worldwide Lasallian family. Details of this retreat will be in a letter that will be sent<br />

home to freshman parents.

Media, Visual & Performing Arts<br />

What a summer for the arts at <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Brothers</strong>!<br />

After a highly successful 2011-12 school year filled with accolades and awards, our arts program continued to shine throughout<br />

the summer.<br />

In June twenty-three CB choral students traveled to New York City and performed under the baton of world renowned choral<br />

educator, composer and conductor Rene Clausen. The concert took place in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, one of the world’s<br />

premiere choral recital halls. The acoustics provided the perfect match for the challenging literature selected by Dr. Clausen, and<br />

the audience of nearly 1000 people was moved to their feet at the end of the performance.<br />

Once again elementary and junior high students were able to experience the arts during our two week summer arts camp,<br />

featuring a wheel of choral, instrumental and visual arts. Students traveled through time in the visual arts with art instructor<br />

Donna Adam, creating a portfolio of artwork representative of the major time periods in art history. They then learned,<br />

recorded, and performed an entire concert of choral and instrumental music with choral director Ron Slabbinck and band<br />

director Travis Maslen.<br />

Next in July, our summer media arts camp debuted, offering junior high students the opportunity to refine their skills as they<br />

learned the art of video production in our state of the arts television studio where our award winning student run television<br />

network operates. This highly successful camp is destined to be a regular in our summer offerings, thanks to the energy of our<br />

media arts director, Brendan Hogan.<br />

And now we gear up for another amazing year of media, visual, performing arts. As you will find out if you don’t already know,<br />

there is always something happening in the arts at CB, and there is always a place in the arts for any CB student. If your child<br />

would like to be involved in any extra curricular arts-related activities, if you have any questions about the arts at CB, or your<br />

child did not register for a media, visual or performing arts class next year and would like to, please contact Director of Media,<br />

Visual, Performing Arts, Ron Slabbinck at rslabbinck@cbhs-sacramento.org.<br />
