<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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.

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 />
