April 12, 2019 | Vol. 2 No. 15 Administrator's Blog Preparing for Easter Easter is the most important time in the Church calendar when we gather as a Catholic Community to honour the ultimate sacrifice Christ made in dying on the Cross for our Salvation. As we continue through Lent into Holy Week, we are reminded of the many sacrifices others have made for us and acknowledge the many sacrifices we make for the good of others. While our sacrifices pale in comparison to what Jesus did for us, they help to ensure we continue God's work here on earth. Important Reminders Concussions 101 At De La Salle we are actively and continuously refining our Concussion Protocol in order to give the best care to our students who have suffered from this injury. The following video from Dr. Mike Evans, titled "Concussions 101, a Primer for Kids and Parents" is a good resource for any parents or students looking for more information on concussions. If you have any additional questions regarding concussions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Student Services Office.
Driving Slowly Through Campus As Spring weather is upon us, more of our students will want to take advantage of the outdoors. Please SLOW DOWN as you drive on our campus and along Farnham and Woodlawn on your way to and from school. The extra speed is not worth an injury to any child.
