CABINET LETTER FROM DAVID HOLQUIN
|
|
|
Dear De La Salle Community:
When I sit down to write my Spartan Spotlight articles, I often start with a blank sheet and write down what has or will happen in a four-week window. I see if a theme appears and run with it. This month, our list had well over 20 things, none with a clear theme. I wondered how to make sense of it, and then two ideas emerged: accompaniment and multi-hyphenates.
Accompaniment
Accompaniment means that we walk alongside others, never ahead or behind. Like the Emmaus story, we journey with others as part of a community. Being a part of the Lasllian mission means we do so “together and by association.” None of our work is ever done alone, even on the days we feel lonely. I think that is what makes De La Salle High School such a special and sacred place: the people who accompany one another.
