Los meses de setiembre y octubre, son meses en los que Salesian College Preparatory celebra nuestra herencia latina. Los muchachos del Latino Club junto con sus moderadores y líderes se han encargado no sólo de embellecer los pasillos de la escuela con coloridas banderas y decoraciones (las cuales incluyen artesanías típicas, fotos de ceremonias tradicionales como “la quinceañera”, e imágenes de nuestra querida Virgen de Guadalupe) que representan las tradiciones y la cultura de los países de donde provienen las familias de nuestra comunidad salesiana, sino que también han organizado ventas y actividades para la recaudación de fondos que luego serán donados a fundaciones y organizaciones que apoyan a niños y jóvenes de familias latinas de bajos recursos económicos. Con mucho orgullo les deseo a todas las familias salesianas latinas un feliz mes de la herencia latina. Sintámonos orgullosos de nuestra herencia latina y nunca paremos de educar y exponer a nuestros hijos a sus raíces latinas. Tenemos una gran herencia cultural!
In the spirit of Don Bosco, Mariella Nightingale World Languages Chair

8th Grade Days
Salesian welcomed over two hundred 8th grade students from St. Cornelius, St. David, St. John, St. Joseph, St. Patrick, St. Leo the Great, St. Paul, School of the Madeleine, Canterbury, El Sobrante Christian, and Caliber Schools to our 8th Grade Day events throughout the month of September. Students and their teachers were treated to a fun, informative, and warm welcome that included school trivia and Salesian swag, a presentation on our academic and co-curricular programs, tours of the classrooms and campus with student ambassadors, and a delicious catered lunch.
We are grateful to our welcoming teachers who opened their classrooms to our guests, giving them a glimpse into the daily life of a Salesian student, and to our ambassadors, who were incredible representatives of our school.
We look forward to welcoming many more 8th grade students from all over the Bay Area to our Shadow Program throughout the upcoming fall and winter months. HELP SALESIAN WITH AMAZON
