CABINET LETTER FROM DAVID HOLQUIN

Dear De La Salle Community:
February may be the shortest month of the year, even with the extra day we get this leap year, but “Earth is crammed with heaven. Every bush is aflame with the fire of God, but only those who see take off their shoes” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning). Indeed, our community is crammed with heaven in the young men entrusted to our care and our faculty, staff, coaches, and volunteers who make what we do at De La Salle possible.
Just look at what we’ve already accomplished this month: Kairos 149 is in the record books, and these Spartans join the pantheons of Karios’ legacy. We hosted the Bay Area Lasallian Symposium with over 500 Lasallian educators from eight nearby Lasallian schools joining us. The 13th annual Laps for Life helped participants consider teenage mental health and destigmatize how we talk about anxiety, depression, and suicide prevention. We also have many activities in full swing.
