WINTER, 2019-20 Datelinedistrict a Million Dreams Every Night I Lie in Bed, the Brightest Colors Fill My Head VOLUME 6, NUMBER 2 | WINTER, 2019-20 DatelineDistrict A Million Dreams Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. A million dreams are keeping me awake. I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it's gonna take, a million dreams for the world we're gonna make. INSIDE THIS ISSUE From A Million Dreams, © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd., BMG Rights Management, Fox Music, Inc. PAGE 2 According to the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools’ publication, “Statistics as of December 31, 2019,” the current number of students in Lasallian schools around the world Bulletin Board is 1,011,876. (p.6) It is an impressive piece of data that speaks to our schools’ reputations and their success. However, being Lasallians, our first impulse is to think of this figure not so much in terms of accomplishment as in responsibility. We see 1,011,876 futures that have been entrusted to our care, each one different and each one sacred. Students all with places to which PAGE 3 they are anxious to go, with lives that they are anxious to live. 1,011,876 dreams. What’s Communities & Ministries more, the world is waiting for every one of them. Because its dream depends on theirs. And that is really where the crux of our responsibility lies. What does it mean for us as Lasallian educators that we are responsible for the dreams of our students’ and of the world? Perhaps we should begin with the word itself. What do we mean PAGE 15 by dreams and by someone being a dreamer? A true dreamer is not one who lives in unrealistic Office of Education Update fantasies or worthless delusions. A true dreamer is one who recognizes a thing that does not exist but is absolutely within reach and then relentlessly pursues it. It is a thing that can create a wholeness, that can complete an incomplete piece of life. In this understanding, the thing is the dream, the voice of our senses that keeps us awake with the question, as playwright and composer PAGE 16 Lin-Manuel Miranda puts it, “What’s the thing that’s not in the world that should be in the world?” Vocation Ministry So, how much attention as educators should we pay to dreams and dreamers? Ideally, all of it. The notion of what it means to educate can be traced to its two root words: ecucare, which is to train or mold, and educere, which is to lead out and to encounter. Historically, these two movements — one from the mind and the other from the heart — have been the yin and the yang of PAGE 17 formal education. However, this relationship seems to have suffered as schools, particularly District Vistas secondary schools, increasingly are asked to focus on, paraphrasing author Neil Postman, a student’s ability to make a living over the ability to make a life. While these two ends are not necessarily mutually exclusive, the point being made is that without an educational tradition that holds as its essential goal to nurture in students the drive to wonder, to imagine, to dream, what results is a PAGE 18 world that no longer knows how to care about what it was meant to be. It has lost its soul. Passages & Prayers Lasallian education is rooted in a charism born of one man’s decision to create such a tradition. Saint John Baptist de La Salle’s disposition for viewing all things with the eyes of faith filled him with an openness to God’s grace as it moved him to unimaginable possibilities. This would come to include believing that to be in God’s presence meant to be part of the PAGE 19 divine dream, and so it was possible to change the lives of directionless men and children by Parting Shots opening their eyes to the reality that their lives could be better because they could be better. In his schools, nothing mattered more than the dignity and strength that came from this. TOWNSVILLE Today, our Lasallian spirit of faith challenges us to take this respect for dreams and dreamers HIGH SCHOOL even further, to see our students today are persons who are destined to change the world itself. We are called to deliver to all of them an education that does justice to the power of their promise and their resolve. Robert F. Kennedy wrote, “Every generation inherits a world it never made; and, as it does so, it automatically becomes the trustee of that world for those who come after.” This is the task that history is giving to our students. And not to fail them as their teachers is the task that it is giving to us. Because our students are ready. They have a million dreams for the world they’re going to make. 1,011,876 to be exact.

The students prepare and serve a meal each month as a SALT service project. Faculty Retreat In early February, the faculty and staff spent the day to- gether in fellowship at the annual faculty retreat in Schriever, LA, an hour’s drive from New Orleans. The retreat was led Students at work prepping meals for the homeless. by Father Kurt Young ‘05, who told the faculty, “The more you develop your relationship with Jesus, the easier it will be to see Him in your students,” as he encouraged them to consider what it means to teach and work in a Catholic Lasallian school. School leaders moved the annual retreat to February rather than the hectic beginning of school year. Straight A Lunch To congratulate and recognize students’ academic success, Raider students were treated to lunch at the Drago's Seafood Restaurant for achieving straight A's on their second quarter report cards.

    Moving Borders and Dancing in Place Son Jarocho’s Speaking Bodies at the Fandango Fronterizo Jade Power-Sotomayor Figure 1. Fandanguerxs in Playas de Tijuana reach through the fence towards their comrades on the other side of the US-Mexican border wall at the 2019 Fandango Fronterizo. From the Centro de Memoria del Fandango Fronterizo. (Photo by Gustavo Vargas Ramírez; courtesy of the Centro de Memoria del Fandango Fronterizo) The thick metal fence slices into the Pacific Ocean, rusted from the damp salty air. Layers of steel patterned in a tight grid have holes just large enough for a child’s finger to squeeze through, not quite penetrating the depth of the metal barrier. Light seeps through from the other side — el otro lado. Pressing your face against the cold gray fence on the US side of this San Ysidro/Tijuana border, you can make out bodies beyond the metal, pick out familiar faces, Jade Power-Sotomayor is Assistant Professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of California, San Diego.

  • Now Let Us Show It to You
    Now let us show it to you A multimodal discourse analysis of websites offering United States-Mexico border crossing tours Master Thesis Tourism and Culture Radboud University Nijmegen Aline Arts Supervised by Brigitte Adriaensen December 15, 2019 Radboud University Master Thesis Tourism and Culture Aline Arts Abstract This thesis analysed in what ways organisations offering United States-Mexico border crossing tours construct and communicate meanings of the tour on their website by analysing layout and design, visual and textual elements of those websites, applying a multimodal discourse analysis. Seven websites of both United States-based and Mexico-based organisations were analysed. Although the organisations focus on different aspects of the border, they all want to give their tour on the United States-Mexican border an educational meaning. However, visual and textual elements of the border imply otherwise for most websites. Referring to or using words and images that belong to the circle of representation of typical tourism activities, the tour is given the meaning of entertainment, leisure, sensation, experiencing the out of the ordinary and fun to a greater or lesser extent. Besides, the border is presented as creating distinctions, but those are interesting and safe and not dangerous or problematic. Organisations choose to give one or two perspectives on the border (social, environmental, political, artistic) and do not show that there is a versatility of opinions and views on the borderline. Only Mexican-based organisations pay
