PRINCIPAL - Mr. Patrick Lee

This year’s school theme is “One Brave Family…One Bold Commitment.” As we focus on this family commitment, it is important to remember that we all need to work together to achieve our vision of unity and brotherhood. Some people are strong academically, some people are good in sports, some people have a good sense of faith/direction, some people are very nurturing—these qualities, and many more, are important to find our way. Yet these qualities are rarely found in only one person and that is where the ideal of one family and one commitment plays an indispensable role. Each one of us has a special gift that nobody else has and all these gifts are needed to see our goal clearly. If we are able to work together—students, parents, faculty, staff, and administration—animated by the spirit of the Salesians of Don Bosco, we will surely reach our destination of achieving our potential by serving the Lord.

I will continue this discussion in our first newsletter of the year; now on to 2003-2004 school business. Enclosed in this mailing you will find a locator slip. It is very important for you to bring this locator with you on the first day of school because it has all your room assignments on it. This preliminary locator will guide you to your classrooms—an updated version will be distributed to you during your first day and that one will have your teachers’ names on it. Course changes will take place on August 18. [next page]
