This week San Miguel High School hosted a number of activities where students could reflect on, and be proud of their Catholic education.
- Don’t major in minor things.
- Smile more.
- Be kind.
- Don’t say ‘I don’t have time’ - there’s time for what matters.
- Don’t be afraid to admit mistakes.
- Don’t carry a grudge around with you.
- Last message: God loves you and wants the best for you
Our Lasallian Youth group, in collaboration with DEIB, has helped to craft small, meaningful ways to celebrate Catholic Schools Week as well:
Monday: To celebrate students, snacks were passed out
next to Student Life after school.
Tuesday: To celebrate faculty and staff, posters were
put up for those who have worked at San Miguel for 5+, 10+, or 15+ years.
Wednesday: To celebrate our stories below the
surface, 4-5 students from each grade level wore black shirts. Then, on either
Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, they shared a brief scenario for their
"student" which was created by social-emotional counseling. Students
then had the opportunity to reflect upon the stories shared.
Thursday: To celebrate the community, Mass was held
during the school day. In the evening, the Viper awards ceremony recognized
students along with their families for their academic, professional, and
spiritual accomplishments.
Friday: To celebrate support staff, pan dulce was
provided for the CWSP drivers. Sweet treats will be given to the maintenance
and lunch teams later in the day.
While not flashy or extensive, the hope was that they honor all members of our school community while providing a reminder that our Lasallian, Catholic identity can be celebrated in an ongoing way throughout the year.
