While the church was being built, services were held in a warehouse, and eventually moved into the new school building. Completing the vision of the pastor, Monsignor Michael Duffy, the school opened in 1966 under the auspices of the Irish Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (PBVM) with a staff of five teachers and 243 students in Grades 1 - 3. Our pastors, Monsignor Michael Duffy, Father Kerry Beaulieu, Father Bruce Patterson, and Father Joseph Knerr have worked tirelessly with each principal to ensure that St. Bonaventure School’s ministry to children is effective and strong, and our Catholicity the foremost priority. Sister Raphael Lynch (now Sister Carmel) was the school’s first principal, and served as principal for two additional assignments. Sr. Carmel was succeeded by Sr. Anne Broderick, Sr. Catherine Burke, Sr. Sheila Donegan, Mrs. Judy Luttrell, Mrs. Janice Callender, and Mrs. Kim White. Each of the school’s principals has been dedicated to strengthening the charism of the Presentation Sisters’ founder, Nano Nagle. The Presentation Sisters are a strong presence in our school. While all have retired from full-time teaching, they remain a vibrant presence on campus and within our parish community. Their motto, coined by Nano Nagle, has been adopted as our school’s motto: “Not with words, but deeds.” St. Bonaventure’s faculty and staff strive to bring the light of Jesus and the Gospel to all, “not with words, but deeds.” In September 2018, the Parish Community embarked on a massive undertaking: the complete repair, renovation, and remodel of our beloved Church to repair the sinking concrete foundation installed incorrectly some fifty years earlier. As a result, Masses, liturgies and prayer services had to be relocated to the much smaller Parish Hall for the duration of construction, leading to a pleasing outcome: our parish and school communities have grown closer. In our quest to hold onto traditions despite the upheaval, we have worked together to keep the regular Mass schedule intact and provide student worship opportunities. Working through the changes to our significantly impacted campus and overcoming the challenges presented by the reduced E355 - St. Bonaventure Catholic School Page 5 of 95 capacity of the Parish Hall have been ongoing processes requiring hard work, collaboration, and creativity. At the time of this submission, more than sixteen months into the renovation, the church construction is close to completion with a targeted move-in date of February 1, 2020. To date, the school calendar has not been affected by the ongoing construction. St. Bonaventure School is presently celebrating its 53rd anniversary with 470 students in sixteen full-day classrooms. The school offers a full-day transitional kindergarten, two full-day kindergartens, and two classes each of Grades 1 - 8. Throughout its history, one of St. Bonaventure Catholic School’s greatest strengths has been our highly involved school families. Their generosity, volunteerism, and goodwill continue to ensure our students that each day is a great day to be a Saint! E355 - St. Bonaventure Catholic School Page 6 of 95 Principal’s Message Dear WCEA/WASC Visiting Committee: It is with pride that I welcome you to St. Bonaventure Catholic School. St. Bonaventure’s commitment to academic excellence is a recurring theme woven throughout our educational programs. While we understand the importance of our academic obligation, we are also very aware of our students’ spiritual growth. It is important that we are reminded of our mission and what we promise to our families as partners in their child’s education. St. Bonaventure Catholic School operates as a ministry of St. Bonaventure Parish. Our mission is to partner with parents, the primary educators of their children, to provide a Catholic Christ- centered, academically excellent and safe school environment in which all children can achieve their God-given potential and make a positive difference in the world. Our mission is supported through a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum aligned with Diocesan standards, national common core and state standards, the teachings of the Catholic Church, and a highly qualified and nurturing faculty. Our School-wide Learning Expectations ensure that our graduates become Active Christ-Centered Catholics, Life-Long Learners, Effective Communicators, and Responsible Citizens. We strive to create a safe learning environment and a spiritually rich education. Our graduates are well-prepared for the challenges of high schools, including JSerra, Mater Dei, Servite, Rosary, Huntington Beach, Marina, and Ocean View High Schools. Our alumni continue their education and graduate from prestigious colleges and universities. The WCEA/WASC process has been extremely beneficial and, as a result of the process, our students will benefit greatly. Our attached Action Plan is evidence that we have analyzed our data and that we are committed to improving student achievement. Blessings in Abundance, Mrs. Kim White, Principal E355 - St. Bonaventure Catholic School Page 7 of 95 ST. BONAVENTURE CATHOLIC SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT Saint Bonaventure Catholic School operates as a ministry of Saint Bonaventure Parish. Our mission is to partner with parents, the primary educators of their children, to provide a Catholic Christ-centered, academically excellent and safe school environment in which all children can achieve their God-given potential and make a positive difference in the world. SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY Christ is the reason for Saint Bonaventure Catholic School.

    Recovery Plan for the Cook Inlet Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration December 2016 Cover photo is a composite of two photographs and was created specifically for this document. Use by permission only: Anchorage photo: Michael Benson Beluga photo: T. McGuire, LGL Alaska Research Associates, Inc., under MMPA/ESA Research permit # 14210 Cook Inlet Beluga Whale DISCLAIMER Recovery Plan DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions, or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than NMFS. They represent the official position of NMFS only after they have been signed by the Assistant Administrator. Recovery plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any Federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.

  • The Social Construction of Youth and Mathematics: the Case of a Fifth-Grade Classroom
    7 The Social Construction of Youth and Mathematics: The Case of a Fifth-Grade Classroom Kara J. Jackson “The Dumb Denominator” It is mid-February, and Ms. Ridley (T/R),1 a fifth-grade math teacher at Johnson Middle School, introduces addition and subtraction of fractions with like denomi- nators (e.g., + ) for the first time. She tells the students, “Raise your hand and tell me what dumb people might do. Tell me some stuff people do at Johnson that’s dumb.” The students make comments such as “not studying for a test,” “making stupid noises,” “talking in the cafeteria from table to table,” “starting a food fight,” and “chewing gum.” Ms. Ridley then asks, “What do smart people do?” The stu- dents suggest the following: “thinking before you speak,” “raising hands for every question,” “paying attention in class,” and “not making the same mistakes again.” With her students’ rapt attention, Ms. Ridley says quietly: T/R: I have another little secret to tell you . The denominator in our frac- tion is dumb. Since it’s dumb, it never studies for the test. It comes time for the test— T/R writes on the board: + T/R: Think about a dumb decision. If you didn’t study for the test. M/St 1: 2 Leave your answers blank. T/R: No, think about what happens on test day. M/St 2: I just write down any answer, almost. F/St 1: Cheat. T/R: Yes!

The Entitlement Trap Acknowledgments About the Author Copyright About the Publisher Introduction For years people have been encouraging me to pen a self-help book. Even waved a couple of big checks in my face. I always passed. Not that I didn’t come close a few times. I even got as far as coauthoring one (The 50th Law) with the great Robert Greene, but I still never felt totally comfortable writing one on my own. I just didn’t like the idea of presenting myself as an expert on life. That might sound strange coming from the one who has never been shy about telling you how much money he has, how many records he sold, or the TV shows he’s produced. Yes, I’ve been comfortable sharing my successes publicly, but privately I’m sensitive to the fact that those accomplishments haven’t made my life all the way right. There are many things I’ve fucked up: money, relationships, opportunities, friendships . you name it. I’ve absolutely failed as many times as I’ve succeeded.
