Ravens in the Community 20

from
theParish Pastor
dear alumni and Friends of St. Raymond,
We hope that your summer months were restful and relaxing and that you are enjoying some of the magic of the fall season.
it is good to be cool here in New york!
We have only positive news to report as we continue to celebrate the Golden anniversary of our school. the freshman
class is the largest in several years, with 219 new students and our total enrollment is a very respectable 728. that says so
much about the reputation of our school and the confidence of our parents—St. Raymond high School for Boys is not
just surviving—it is thriving! our plans for the new annex building are no longer merely on paper but, if you pass by Purdy
Street, you will see machinery, equipment, sewer drains and most importantly, a foundation being dug. there is no turning
back now and we are happy to see so much progress. once again, this new construction illustrates to our parents and the
community that we are here to stay for another 50 years!
your support and your generosity will be key ingredients to the success of our campaign. over the next few months, we
will be turning to you, our faithful alums and friends, to assist us with your own personal gift to the project. the parish is
committed to the project with about 50% of the funding for the 50th Anniversary Campaign. With that, we are turning to
our Ravens for the other 50%. We know that we can count on you for a gift, no matter how large or small.
Please know that you are welcome to visit, to see the construction and to view the beautiful model that has been assembled
for closer detail. you will be pleased to see a music room, a computer room, a senior guidance complex, several new
classrooms as part of the annex, as well as a rooftop sports area (or as we prefer to call it, a promenade!) Please remember
us in your prayers. St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts, forever.
Sincerely,
monsignor John Graham
Pastor

from
thePrincipal
dear alumni and Friends of St. Raymond,
Welcome to the annual fall edition of the RaVEN. the school community is excited to welcome 219 freshmen and their parents into
the Class of 2014. this class comprises students from the Bronx, manhattan and Westchester County from 87 elementary schools.
So, the future of our school is bright indeed.
the school is celebrating a “Year of Kindness” as our special theme. the students are working on various ways to incorporate their
community service projects into this theme. they have had two excellent assembly programs on respect and kindness.
We are also excited with many academic achievements and developments. the music department has expanded with additional
elective courses, including a school chorus. our seniors from last year once again won the NyC Stock market Game over all high
schools, public and private, in New york City. the school added forensics to its science curriculum as an elective for seniors. We are
also on track this year for 100% of our senior class to obtain NyS Regents and/or advanced Regents diplomas.
the fall season has produced some notable sporting accomplishments as well. Both our JV and Varsity baseball teams won their
respective fall tournaments. our cross country team produced ten medal winners. our soccer team won their division and is eager
to move forward into the playoffs and the bowling team is currently offering strong competition. additionally, our intramural football
and ping pong programs are up and running.
all of this excellent programming will find a fine new home in the building addition that is scheduled to open in September 2011.
the additional space and technology will continue to make St. Raymond high School for Boys one of the leading Catholic, Lasallian
schools in the archdiocese of New york.
thank you for the support that you have given both in presence and donations. We are always grateful for your sacrifices on our
behalf and ask that you continue to remember our school community.
God bless,
Brother daniel Gardner, FSC

St. Raymond and the “Year of Kindness” — 2010-2011
the power of kindness
The Unexpected Benefits
of Leading a Compassionate Life
by Piero Ferrucci
the theme for this year was inspired by the
book by Piero Ferrucci, The Power of Kindness:
The Unexpected Benefits of Leading
a Compassionate Life. Ferrucci notes that
“being kind is a way of life that can bring
happiness to others as well as to those
who practice it.” Ms. Christine Schmidt
and sophomore Alberto Salsedo suggested
this theme and the students and
faculty have jumped in feet first demonstrating
kindness here at St. Raymond and
will continue to do so well into 2011. the
theme for the last school year was “year of
Sprit” and “year of Service” prior to that.
to support this theme, Mr. John Musto,
assistant Principal for Student affairs,
helped to organize an assembly for juniors
and seniors, along with Chuk Obasi ‘01,
to perform “Under the Veil” on october 4.
the program highlights being muslim (and
non-muslim) in america, and integrates a
post 9/11 cutting-edge, insight to conflict
resolution with interactive, documentary-
Lasallian Educators Of the Year by Mr. Rick Duncan ‘68, Lasallian Coordinator
style theatre. it brings to the stage the
everyday clash of cares and threats that
divide americans from each other. it also
functions dramatically to foster the curiosity,
insight, and compassion audience
members need to understand and transcend
those barriers.
Mr. Gregory Scott ‘72 organized an abstinence
program for sophomores, juniors
and seniors on october 27 that educates
youth to aspire to the best sexual health.
“Sex, Love, and Choices” is a national
assembly program that combines facts,
skits and entertainment to address the
Church’s teachings on abstinence. the
program uses “the concept of abstinence
to teach practical methods that will enable
students to reject sexual advances and
other risky behaviors, thus allowing them
to focus on what matters most, preparing
for their future.”
one of the more difficult decisions made each year at St. Raymond high
School for Boys is the one that determines the distinguished Lasallian Educator
of the year. this year proved no different, and in some ways more difficult.
at our school there are so many qualified and deserving educators who exemplify
the requirements necessary to receive this most prestigious award.
in order to receive this award, an educator must be a minister at St. Raymond
for at least five years, the recipient must work in association with the school
community to foster gospel values in the lives of students and staff and the
recipient must see the Lasallian School as a place of educational excellence,
Br. Richard Galvin, FSC Mr. Robert Heckmann
which shares in the teaching mission of the Catholic Church. this award is the
most notable award that the school can bestow upon a faculty member. this
award is presented by the Regional Board of Education of the Christian Brothers in the name of all Lasallians.
this year, and after some discussion, the award is presented to two most deserving recipients, Br. Richard Galvin, FSC ‘82 and Mr.
Robert Heckmann. Both of these individuals reflect the criteria as outlined above and are truly respected by both students and their
peers alike. they have dedicated themselves to the mission of St. Raymond in a most unselfish manner over their many years at St.
Raymond. they are educators who have “touched the hearts of their students” and have been role models for their colleagues by their
dedication and exemplary behavior and attitude.
Br. Richard and mr. heckmann are known throughout the school community as tireless volunteers at all our school’s events. they are
accessible and accommodating to their students both in and out of the classroom. they are individuals who are worthy of receiving this
most prestigious award. the faculty, staff, administration and students thank them for all that they have done for our school community.
Current faculty members who have received the Lasallian Educator of the year award are mr. michael mcCauley (1989), mr. Ron Patnosh
(1994), mrs. Phyllis Sobieralski (1998), mrs. Evelyn Cabuhat (2000), ms. Edita Chico (2001), mrs. Judith Carew (2002), mr. James
Winkle ‘82 (2005), mr. Rick duncan ‘68 (2006), mr. Chris Corvi ‘90 (2007), mrs. adoracion macalintal (2008) and mr. Ed mouzon ’82 (2009).

on the new school extension
Everyone at St. Raymond high School for Boys is excited that the
construction for the new school extension is now underway.
Construction began on august 9 and as you can see from the
pictures below, much has been done in just a little bit of time.
this is the largest project St. Raymond high School has taken on
since opening 50 years ago. it will literally and figuratively
change the face of the school and greatly impact every student.
as other schools are closing, St. Raymond high School is expanding
and preserving Catholic education for underprivileged students
in the Bronx. the 14,000 square foot addition will include
new programs in art and music, technology will be increased and
seniors will have dedicated resources to support them in their
move to college and their careers. in the existing building, two
state of the art science labs will be created and upgrades will be
made throughout the facility, including the new William F. Reilly
Memorial Weight Room.
Feel free to stop by the school to see how the construction is
shaping up. the expected completion date for the project is September
2011, just in time for the next school year.
October 4, 2010
as we begin to build a state of the art new building extension to our school during our 50th anniversary,
you can own a part of the school’s history. We will be selling 100 bricks from the old parking
garage, each with a plaque to commemorate the occasion. Each brick will cost $25 (plus shipping if
you cannot pick up from the school).

from
the Director of Advancement
dear alumni and Friends of St. Raymond high School,
i will begin with a very big note of thaNKS to all of you that made the past school year
a remarkable one for our school. as you will see, the Raven Fund has increased for the
fifth straight year to the highest figure in the school’s history. our de LaSalle dinner in
april also made history with the highest number of attendees since its inception, and
this year’s alumni association Golf outing raised three times as much as it did in 2009.
these outstanding figures indicate that we have a great base of alumni who are enthusiastic
about supporting current and future generations of Ravens. your support is truly
evident here in the school, and the students are grateful for your generosity. i have seen
the joy in students’ eyes when they have learned that they were awarded a scholarship
from the alumni association. i have witnessed their excitement to utilize new facilities

Damian Meehan Memorial 5K run and walk at monroe-Woodbury
high School in monroe, Ny. the students were joined at the
ninth annual event by Brother Richard Galvin, FSC ’82 and Mr.
Christopher Ellis. damian meehan was a firefighter who graduated
from St. Raymond in 1987, and lost his life on September
11, 2001.
damian’s family created a foundation in his name to provide financial
aid to students in need. Since the foundation’s inception,
St. Raymond students have been honored by receiving these
scholarship awards. this year, seven deserving students received
scholarships from the foundation. many of these scholarship winners
participated in the race and were able to thank the meehan
family in person. members of the St. Raymond soccer team also
attended. Congratulations to Christian Asiedu ‘11 for finishing
second in the 13-19 age group with a time of 22:40 and to mr. Ellis
