ABOUT THE SCHOOL SEALIn addition to identifying our location and the year of our 1966 founding, our seal contains the history of our school. The Justin-Siena seal embodies the icons of the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael (who co-sponsored the school through the 2005-06 academic year) and the De La Salle Christian Brothers.

The original Dominican black and white cross, fleury, indicates a spiritual ideal in spreading the Gospel of Christ by preaching and teaching. The five-pointed star signifies the sign of faith, which guides all Christian Brothers and Lasallian partners in their vocation of Christian education.

Finally, “Sempre Avanti” heralds the legacy of the Brothers, and more specifi-cally, Justin High School. Italian for “always forward” these words appeared on the Justin High School seal representing a commitment to looking forward and never being compla-cent, while exhibiting a passion for preparing the students entrusted to their care.

Justin-Siena inducted three special alumni into the school’s Hall of Honor on Friday, October 3, 2014, in a special ceremony in the Clark Gym for students, faculty, staff, and special guests. The Hall of Honor, held every other year since 2004, recognizes out-standing alumni who have achieved distinction, emerged as lead-ers, and whose lives reflect Faith, Scholarship, and Service—core attributes of a true Lasallian leader.

The full dinner table surrounded by animated students and staff in the dining room of the Justin-Siena Student Residence is the image of a large, happy family. Dinner begins with prayer followed by lively conversation, laughter, complaining, noise, and of course, the consumption of food, not unlike the dinner tables of most American families who gather for the breaking of bread together, except that this is one large family.

“When you greet someone in Burundi, you usu-ally say, ‘Amahoro,’ ‘Peace.’ When you repeat Amahoro many times, as Deo did when he heard his father’s voice, it means that you are overjoyed. Amahoro, Amahoro, Amahoro,” quoted Eng-lish teacher Louis Pierotti ’72 to introduce guest speaker Deogratias “Deo” Niyizonkiza at the “One School, One Book” assembly on October 28, 2014.

A Catholic High School in the Lasallian Tradition

AVANTI is published twice a year by the Office of Communications for Justin-Siena alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff.

Mr. Robert T. Jordan President and CEO

A Message from the Office of the President

Several weeks ago we all set our clocks back a full hour. This time change has al-ways seemed to me a bit more dramatic than when we experience the time change in the spring. I think it is because it represents a more visible shift in seasons. The air has a bit more chill to it, the colors of our trees and in the vineyards inform us that change in happening, and most significantly, we lose light. The days become shorter and shorter as we march towards the winter solstice. While this darkness and change of weather happens, our Christian tradition gives

us a different approach to these winter days. It is in darkness that the light of Christ becomes even more radiant. The single glow of the candle reminds us of God’s presence, and represents the warmth and spirit of family that becomes so obvious this time of year. The power of the light of Christ radiates within certain traditions on our campus that take place this time of year. The introduction of new signs and symbols emerge for our students. Our weather forces our community inside more on our predominately outside campus. The warmth of our community is put on display in our dining hall at lunch, at our traditional all school Thanksgiving feast, and in the sacredness of the Mont La Salle Chapel during our Christmas music concert. It is further evident even outside at our alumni games the day before Thanksgiv-ing, or as the warm summer nights that represented the opening of fall sports, are now replaced by blankets and hot chocolate as we watch our Braves enter the division playoffs. This light is also evident in new traditions. As I leave the office these days in the darkness of night, a new light is literally shining on the north side of campus. The former Siena Convent, which sat dark for several years, is now full of new life from our on-campus residential students. This represents only one part of a new light that emerges on a school community that is always moving forward. Light will always penetrate the darkness, and guide our Justin-Siena family towards the promise of hope and happiness. This light is ignited, maintained, and kept glowing by the people of our school community: our teachers, staff, parents, students, alumni, benefactors, friends, and the Christian Brothers. It is indeed the light of Christ! May God bless us all in this holy season, and may His light shine on you and your family.

Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

cover story


The full dinner table surrounded by animated students and staff in the dining room of the Justin-Siena Student Residence is the image

of a large, happy family. Dinner begins with prayer followed by lively conversation, laughter, complaining, noise, and of course, the consumption of food, not unlike the dinner tables of most American families who gather for the breaking of bread together, except that this is one large family. Though the eighteen student residents all miss home, they are unanimous in their acclamation that living in the Student Residence is like belonging to a large, vibrant family.

“It feels like home, feels like my own house because of all the little touches of hominess created by the staff, and we all really get along well,” says Adrian Jinbo ’15, who calls Fairfield home when he is not in residence here. Christa (Zeyu) Chen ’16, who hails from China, adds, “We really love the adults who make this place feel like home. And after speaking English in school all day, it is relaxing to be able to converse in Mandarin during recreational time.” Josh Jackson ’16, who says that this is his first time living away from his home in Detroit, affirms that the Student Residence is like home: “The Baileys and Schmitzes act as our parents, and we are quickly becoming a family as we bond with each other.”

How does it all work? According to Agnes (Aggie) Bailey, Director of Residential Life, it is the result of “hard work, mutual respect, posi-tive attitudes, humor, and a workable daily schedule.” Students agreed that the schedule meets their needs effectively, providing structure as well as freedom.

Weekday mornings begin with a wake-up knock on the door at 7 am and the typical rush of showers, breakfast, either from the conve-nient in-house snack room or at the Justin-Siena Dining Hall, and then rushing out the door to make the 8 am beginning of the school day. The Student Residence is closed during school hours. After school, students need to check in by 3 pm, unless other arrangements have been made. From 3 pm to dinner at 6:30 pm, students have free time, either at the house or by prior arrangement. Just like at home, friends are able to come over, the TV is on, the game room open, with any number of alternate activities available such as swimming, biking, and using the Fitness Center. Some are involved in sports, and others will work on homework or venture into the community, all with permission, of course.

Dinner, provided by local restaurant Suppertime, which is run by the long-time Justin-Siena Savage family, is a required event which

begins the evening schedule. Students have posted weekly chores which include dinner set-up and clean-up. Grace is offered by a student or staff mem-ber, and a jovial mealtime is enjoyed by all. Manda-

tory quiet study time follows dinner from 7:15 pm to 9:15 pm when tutoring is also available (or mandatory for those struggling in a subject). All check in to the house chapel by 9:30 pm for a “family” meeting where issues, concerns, and joys are discussed, followed by evening prayer and relaxing time for music or the gym. “The chapel time is my favorite time of the day,” comments Tasha Schmitz, one of the adult leaders; “It’s a time of sharing and reflecting, a very bonding experi-ence.” Bedtime is staggered depending on age: 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm.

Sophomores Kathy (Wenting) Chen ’17 from China and Nana (Ting-Yun) Chen ’17 from Taiwan say the schedule is “really help-ful and good for all.” This sentiment is echoed by Johanna Meier ’17 from Germany and Christa Chen, seated at the table with the others, chatting about their boarding experience thus far. What about privacy? “We have more privacy here than at home,” claims Christa, and the rest chime in their agreement. “We have private rooms and greater ability to be ourselves without so much involvement by others,” says Johanna. Domestic student Adrian Jinbo and international student Yunhee Lim ’16 from Korea function as Resident Assistants and hold weekly community meetings for the residents to provide student voice. Yunhee explains, “While the adults are present, this is student-run—

Alex Sun ’17 is happy to call this place home.

we problem solve complaints and plan what we want to do in our free time.” A large white board in the dining room highlights a core Lasallian value which helps students and adults to live and work in harmony. Adult leader Bob Bailey notes, “Living together allows us to teach and learn so much about our Lasallian mission. It is really challenging and invigorating.”

The weekends are not much different for the residential students than for the rest of the student body. A later wake-up time followed by a leisurely (optional) breakfast, cooked on site, is Joshua’s favorite time of the week. There are chores (week on, week off), homework, and all of the other outside activities mentioned previously. Dinner is provided by the Bassetts on the weekends, and the adult staff is gradually introducing more creative dinner options like a recent barbecue on the patio as well as a dinner hosted by the cheerleaders. Group activities like an August visit to the ropes course in Glen Ellen and a YouTube evening round out the weekend. November excursions included rock climbing, movie night at the student residential community of Archbishop Riordan High School, and a visit to the Natural History Museum in San Francisco. Residents are allowed to have friends sleep over on the weekends, so other than having a car, a luxury not allowed to residential students, the Student Residence is very much home.

Were there surprises? How did expectations meet with reality? The most common response to this query was that the educational approach here differs greatly from previous experiences in their home countries. According to Tanya (Yawen) Tan ’18, “Education is more relaxed here. In China, it is all about drills and tests, but here there is more discus-sion.” “The teachers are warmer and friendlier than in Germany, more motivated—they form relationships with their students,” Johanna commented. David (Xiaodong) Zheng ’17, who also lived previ-

ously with a host family in Minnesota, explained the difference that many reiterated: “In China, the focus is on knowledge and memorization. Here, the focus is on thinking; I prefer the approach here because developing good thinking applies to all areas of learning whereas one really does not know what knowledge content will be useful in the future.” The South Napa

Earthquake (August 2014) was also an unexpected surprise, occurring shortly after their arrival. Most agreed it was one of the scariest experi-ences of their lives, as none of the international residents had ever felt an earthquake before. “I’m gonna die!” was Christa’s first thought as she awakened, and their phones were soon full of texts from home. Parents were predictably uneasy, but students agreed it was something that will become a great story for the future. Also on the list of surprises were the spread-out campus, in contrast to multi-level school buildings at home, and the pool and pet dogs, both of which contribute to the positive feel-ing of “home.”

Joys and favorites abound. The chocolate chip cookies were high on this list, followed closely by the pool and the dogs. Mealtimes, musical evenings, weekend breakfasts and excursions, and just hanging out and socializing together were aspects of residential living that all the students enjoy. A common theme that emerged among adults and students alike was humor. Adult leader Matthew Schmitz ’01, who went from hav-ing no children to being a supervisor of eighteen, muses, “They make me laugh,” but on a more serious note, he agrees with Aggie Bailey’s assertion: “I find that, like a parent, I am feeling increasingly very protective of them!” The Student Residence has all the hallmarks of a family, and students and adults agree that it is a great place to be. “I love it here,” claims Yunhee; “being on campus, we can easily participate in co-curricular activities and fun weekend events that bond us together—we are a big, happy family.”

Agnes BaileyDirectorofResidentialLife

Agnes (Aggie) Bailey, Director of Residential Life, is learning to navigate her new role at Justin-Siena. While she technically is not mom, not teacher, and not friend, she finds that she nevertheless experiences aspects of these relation-ships in her interactions with the students. She enjoys get-ting to know the students and the humor which character-izes their interactions. She grows increasingly protective of them as any mother would do, and she finds herself inspired by their warmth and positive attitudes which she refers to as “a maturity of the heart.” The Student Residence is a happy place where they are all learning together to “live their faith, treat people well, and respect each other.”

Aggie has a rich history of curricular and co-curricular experiences. From 1974-2011, Aggie fulfilled leadership roles at the Diocese of Santa Rosa’s Redwood Adventure Camp (current name) including Director, Co-Director, Program Director, CFO, and CEO of the CSM Foundation. It was there that she met her husband Bob, Vice Principal for Strategic Initiatives at Justin-Siena. The family basi-cally grew up at Summer Camp, and all three of her their children, Michael, Anna, and Matthew, were baptized there. Aggie has years of direct experience in parish youth and campus ministry and has teaching experience at both the primary and secondary levels. Prior to her new posi-tion here, Aggie served as music teacher and technology coordinator St. Eugene’s Cathedral School in Santa Rosa. In addition to her primary role in the Student Residence, Aggie teaches one section of Religious Studies. Aggie holds a B.A. in Psychology (with a minor in Music) from Sonoma State University and a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies from The Franciscan School of Theology in San Francisco, as well as being a Master Catechist. She plays guitar and leads or participates in the music at many Justin-Siena liturgies.

Aboutthe first


feature

As the Justin-Siena 2014 “One School, One Book” summer read-ing selection, Strength in What Remains is a nonfiction account which chronicles the journey of Deogratias who as a young medical student, fled war-torn Burundi, migrated to the U.S., and returned home to found Village Health Works, the only modern health center in the region. Strength in What Remains was chosen by the Summer Reading Committee for its compelling exploration of faith issues, global perspec-tives, and strong social justice themes.

Kidder acknowledged in his opening remarks that he “did not set out to do a good deed” when he decided to write about Deo’s experiences; “I just found it a good story.” He discovered, however, that Deo’s story “rang true at a deeper level. Deo did not have to go back to Burundi; he could have lived a life of prosperity as a doctor in the United States, but he did go back—to serve.” Kidder urged the audience to resist modern cynicism when they reflect on Deo’s story: “There is such a thing as true altruism in the world. What Deo created at Village Health Works in Burundi is a marvelous health center and instrument of peace.”

Deo began his presentation with some sobering statistics which

highlighted the astounding difference between life in Burundi and life in the United States. Burundi ranks 180 out of 187 countries in the United Nations Human Development Program’s Human Development Index; the U.S. ranks 5, slightly behind Norway, Australia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In the United States, there are 247 doctors for every 100,000 people; in Burundi, there are 2 for every 100,000. “Such injustices should not exist in the 21st century,” he claims. Images of a primitive hospital surgery in Burundi illustrated this point as well as his assessment that the Ebola crisis in West Africa is a result of such dispar-ity and a broken health care system. “This is why Village Health Works was created, based in the value of the dignity of others,” Deo explained. Before and after photographs supported his point: emaciated patents were transformed through appropriate treatment into healthy, vibrant people. “When you consider what all of us here have been given, there is no limit to what the world expects from us,” Deo made clear. “It is our duty and responsibility to serve.”

The contrast urges us to ask, “What can we do? There is much to do,” said Deo. He continued, “Look at the beauty, abundance, and resources which surround you, and ask, ‘What did I do to be born into such wealth? What did those in Burundi do to be born into such poverty?’” The situation can be overwhelming, but Deo told a familiar story about a man saving starfish, tossing them back in the water one at a time from among thousands stranded on a beach. When a passerby asked how he could hope to make a difference for the starfish in the face of such overwhelming numbers, the man replied as he tossed one star-fish in to the water, “It made a difference for that one!” Deo continued, “You cannot change the whole world overnight, but waiting is not a so-lution. Save one life and you save a family; save one family, and you save a village, save one village, and you save a country.” The story resonated with many students. Olivia O’Brien ’17 commented in a classroom blog, “No good deed is too small to affect the greater problem at hand. Helping one person…may not change the world…but it changes lives.”

During the student question and answer period which followed, the contrast between two cultures, worlds apart, was made abundantly clear. In lives constantly filled with the fear of death, fear was pervasive. “You avoid it all cost,” Deo explained. In response to a question about the lives of teenagers by Ramiro Mendoza-Axle ’15, Deo talked about

Compelled by a Duty to Serve“When you greet someone in Kirundi, you usually say, ‘Amahoro,’ ‘Peace.’ When you repeat Amahoro many times, as Deo did when he heard his father’s voice, it means that you are overjoyed. Amahoro, Amahoro, Amahoro,” quot-ed English teacher Louis Pierotti ’72 to introduce guest speaker Deogratias “Deo” Niyizonkiza at the “One School, One Book” assembly on October 28, 2014. The packed house of students, staff, visitors, and community members resounded with a heartfelt welcome for both Deo and Tracy Kidder, author of the book about Deo’s life and work, Strength in What Remains.

Former Brave Emily Cotter ’00 Serves at Village Health Works

Justin-Siena alumna Dr. Emily Cotter ’00 served at Village Health Works (VHW) in Burundi this year in both February and September. During that experience, Dr. Cotter relates, “I worked on establishing a preschool health program to provide pediatric health care to the students at a VHW-supported preschool in Kigutu. In September, I worked on multiple projects including medical teaching on assorted topics including an EKG lecture series, consult-ing on difficult cases during rounds with the clinical team, Ebola preparedness, and assorted other clinical/program management projects.” Why two stints at VHW? “I returned to Village Health Works as I truly respect the or-ganization and resonate with its mission,” said Dr. Cotter. “I was inspired by the holistic approach to the promotion of health through activities like education and agricultural and economic development. I adored getting to know, and working with, incredibly dedicated and inspirational colleagues in Kigutu. I felt welcomed immediately and find it wonderful to have a global health ‘home away from home.’”

Emily has also worked on global health projects in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Australia. She relates, “I feel incredibly privileged with the education I’ve been able to pursue, from Justin-Siena through medical school. A strong foundation in social justice and human rights drives my desire to serve in places like Kigutu, with organizations like Village Health Works.”

Dr. Cotter received her Bachelor of Science degree from Tulane University in New Orleans, graduating in 2004. She then earned a Master of Public Health in Infec-tious Diseases from UC Berkeley in 2006. After working in public health for a few years, Emily went on to achieve a Doctor of Medicine degree from George Washington University in Washington, DC, graduating in 2012. She is currently in her third (and final) year of a family medi-cine residency at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, a county hospital in Martinez, California, where she is pursuing a full spectrum of family medicine training (inpatient, obstetrics, surgery, pediatrics, etc.) and enjoys working with an underserved population.Opposite: Deogratias “Deo” Niyizonkiza addressing the student body and guests in the Clark Gym.

school in Burundi: “I remember going to school on the first day and being in a room packed with students. But by the end of the year, there were half of us left at best. Some died of illness, others left school to look after their families when the mothers had died. Some had to return to the fields.” Deo explained that life was so harsh and death so ever-present, there was no time to think about recreation in the sense it has here. Alumna Dr. Emily Cotter ’00 (see sidebar), present at the assembly, reiterated the contrast: “I am always surprised by the vast disparity of wealth between places like Napa and rural communities like Kigutu. I still have trouble understanding how our world has developed in a way that leaves so many millions of people without access to safe drinking water, sanitation, electricity, nutrition, and basic health care, when others live in a paradise people visit for destination weddings, honeymoons, fine dining, and wine tasting.”

Another question and its answer evoked considerable discussion later: Elessia Stel ’15 asked about the outlook for young women in Burundi. “No woman owns land in Burundi, yet they work the hardest,” Deo responded. “Few go far in school because of the needs at home. Pregnancy is most often a death sentence for a young woman, who because of malnourishment cannot deliver a baby except by C-section, and these are not readily available.” In discussions the next day, students were grieved by the reality of this response. Lindsey Krill ’16 lamented, “It is hard to fathom. Here a pregnancy is joyful news; it is such a harsh contrast to think that this news in Burundi would mean more suffering and potential death, more to fear.”

By the end of the assembly and in question and answer sessions follow-ing, Deo’s message to the Justin-Siena community and to the world emerged clearly. “We build peace by understanding the cause of conflict. We change lives and strengthen the community through dialogue certainly, but we must first provide the necessities of life,” Deo explained. “Much comes from hard lives lived in constant desperation and fear of death. It is essential that we eradicate poverty.” How would Deo sum up his message to us? “You, too, can do it. You can make a difference. But don’t wait—too much time is wasted in waiting, and the urgency of the need is now. You have so much—you must convince yourselves that you can change a life, and by so doing, change the world!”


mission matters

Braves Among UsWhen asked what makes our community special, the most common answer is the people. Justin-Siena is blessed with countless individuals who are doing incredible things. Here are just a couple who are making their marks on this community and beyond.

Caitlin Mayo ’18 recently earned two firsts in Irish dance in Preliminary Championship Competition at the Comerford Halloween Feis in Anaheim, California, in October. A feis is a traditional Gaelic arts and culture festival, and the term is commonly used to refer to Irish dance competitions. Two firsts means that Cait-lin has made it into Open Championships, the top ranking of Irish dancers and highest level of competition. Open Champions is a category from which an Irish dancer can compete in any major competition such as Nationals, All Irelands, and many more. Caitlin just competed at the Western Regional Championships, or Oireachtas, in Phoenix, Arizona, in Novem-ber and will travel to Montreal in April for the World Championships.

Caitlin’s recent win is the culmination of years of hard work and passion for Irish dance which began at the age of 7. Caitlin’s story illustrates the impact a motivational teacher can have: “When I was taking ballet lessons, an inspiring Irish dance teacher visited our studio—I was immediately enthused, enjoyed the experience, and I moved from ballet to Irish dance. Because I have enjoyed it so much, I have just kept up with it!” After several years at a studio in Sonoma County, Caitlin has recently switched to Dillon Magh Adhair Academy of Irish Dance based in Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and Bend, Oregon. Caitlin’s passion and resulting achievement require a tremendous commitment. Caitlin remarked, “I practice 4 to 5 days per week, traveling to Walnut Creek, not to mention competitions. Keeping up with classes and homework is challenging—I put in some late hours!” Her dedication to dance and academics is admirable; Caitlin maintains all As and Bs, and her achievement in dance is remarkable.

Most of us are familiar with Irish dancing because of its populariza-tion in 1994 by the world-famous show “Riverdance.” It is notable for its rapid leg and foot movements, body and arms being kept largely

stationary, but Caitlin explains that this style “is largely reserved for solo dancing. In team and drama dancing, the arms are used.” Caitlin explained the competition levels that she has moved through to reach her current status: “First Feis, Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Novice, Prizewinner, and Preliminary Championships where I earned the two firsts.” Dancers are judged in a number of areas, she explains, such as “rhythm and timing, position of the feet, and high leaps and form.” Caitlin’s favorite form of competition is team dancing: “Teams are com-prised of 2-8 dancers who work in unison—it’s great fun but challenging.” Caitlin performed with a team of eight girls at the World Champi-onships in London last year and looks forward to Worlds in Montreal in the spring.

Caitlin was born in Manchester, Connecti-cut, but her family relocated to Napa for her father’s employment, so at six months she be-came a California girl. Caitlin’s last name would appear to be Irish, but it is actually an Ameri-canized version of a French name. Caitlin’s Irish heritage comes from her mother’s paternal great grandmother whose parents were born in Galway and Roscommon. She attended Stone Bridge School in Carneros where she received the Leadership Award at her graduation from

8th grade with high recommendations and praise from her teachers. Caitlin volunteers at Stone Bridge on her days off from Justin-Siena and continues to support younger siblings and friends as an active member in the school community. Caitlin and her family are parishioners of St. Apollinaris Catholic Church in Napa where she met many of her Justin-Siena friends through CCD and St. A’s School; she has also maintained friendships from her Waldorf preschool days at Apple Garden in Napa.

When Caitlin graduates from Justin-Siena, she is interested in working in crime investigations and/or forensics and traveling the world utilizing her love of languages.

CAITLIN MAYO ’18


An abdominal injury during middle school prevented Joshua Co-varrubias ’16 from continuing his interest in football at Justin-Siena, but he seized the opportunity to focus his energies instead on advancing in the Boy Scouts. Joshua currently holds the rank of Life Scout and is finalizing his project for the rank of Eagle Scout. In order to achieve this highest rank (in 2013, only 6% of all scouts earned the rank of Eagle), each boy who receives it must complete a substantial project which proves leadership while providing a benefit to the community. Joshua’s Eagle project goes beyond an average project because he has incorpo-rated the William T. Hornaday Conservation Award. The Hornaday Award is a project with emphasis on conservation, including wildlife preservation. Most completed Eagle Scout projects demonstrate a positive and immediate impact to the community, but the conservation project needs to be revisited five years from development. Only 1,100 Hornaday Medals have been awarded nationally in the past 80 years.

“Poking around Rockville Park in Fairfield, I discovered that the indigenous turtles are being killed off because migratory geese are competing with the space on the docks, pushing them into the water,” Joshua explained. “If the turtles return to the shore instead, they are more easily killed by dogs and raccoons.” To solve the problem, and af-ter considerable feasibility research, Joshua conceived a plan for separate decks. “One 8’ x 8’ floating dock will be a resting and sunning area for the turtles,” Joshua theorizes. “Then l have constructed two separate 5’ x 5’ stationary docks, each with a tire in the middle, to attract the geese to a potential nesting area.” Joshua began his project in August and

completed it in late November. His hope is that “five years from now, the turtle population will have risen and the geese will have their own place in the lake.”

Joshua lives in Fairfield where he attended B. Gale Wilson Middle School. He has a freshman sister, Madison, at Justin-Siena and two other siblings. He has been scouting for a good part of his life, starting in the Cub Scouts and moving up to Webelos while living in Southern Cali-fornia. In 2008, his family relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he eventually joined the Boy Scouts. Soon after, the family moved to Fairfield. Joshua has held many leadership positions with the troop including Patrol Leader, Scribe, Quartermaster, Chaplin’s Aide, and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. He was chosen by his peers to become part of the Order of the Arrow, characterized as Scouting’s “national honor society.” He is currently part of Troop 482 in Cordelia, Califor-nia. Also an artist, Joshua has used his talents to design logos, shirts, and flags for the troop.

In 2012, Joshua embarked on a mission trip through his church to the Navajo Nation in Arizona to renovate and clean the church and assist with Vacation Bible School. “The experience was life-changing,” says Joshua. “I was so struck by the poverty I witnessed and the contrast with the way we live here; it has inspired me to continue to serve the poor on these mission trips and in other ways.” Joshua volunteers in many ways such as clean-up and special events and mission work through his church, helping the elderly with lawn care and handiwork, and working at the Mission Solano Thrift Shop.

Joshua hopes to pursue a career in law enforcement or politics and at this point intends to begin his studies at Solano Community College and transfer to a four-year university.

A SHAKEY START TO THE SCHOOL YEARJust one week into the new school year, the Justin-Siena campus was rocked by the South Napa Quake. With an epicenter just 6 miles south of campus and a magnitude of 6.1, the quake made its mark on campus. Luckily our single-story campus saw no major structural damage, but there were plenty of messes to clean up and rattled nerves to console. Justin-Siena was the first Napa school to reopen after the quake due to the great response for clean up assistance. When school resumed the Tuesday follow-ing the quake, students, faculty, and staff gathered in Patrons Plaza to begin the day in prayer together. Thank you to all those who offered assistance in the form of dollars,

prayers, helping hands, and kind words. It is moments like these that remind us of the power of the Braves community. Thanks especially to the following who answered our call to action in the form of earthquake relief for fixing broken windows, a new fountain, glass and altar repairs in the Chapel of the Christian Brothers, and much more.

ENGINEERING DEPART-MENT HOSTS FIRST LEGO REBOTICS COMPETITIONOn Saturday, November 15, 2014 from 9am-5pm, the Justin-Siena Engineering Depart-ment hosted an official FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Robotics Competition (FRC). Sixteen teams of students from 9-14 years of age, who spent the last six or more weeks prepar-ing robots and presentations, converged at Justin-Siena to show off their creations.

What is FIRST LEGO League? In FLL, young people are immersed in real-world science and technology challenges. Through their participation, children develop valu-able life skills and discover exciting career possibilities while learning that they can make a positive contribution to society. FLL offers many programs and the Robotics Tournament is an exciting one. Dubbed a varsity sport for the Mind,™ FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise

funds, design a team “brand,” hone team-work skills, and build and program a robot to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real world” engineering as a student can get.

Eager to see what other students cre-ate and present, Justin-Siena engineering students planned this qualifying competi-tion and were responsible for the setup and coordination of the event. Faculty, staff and parent volunteers were on hand to assist the Engineering Department. Department Chair Mr. Chris Fidler ’02 served as “Pit Boss” stationed in the Gasser Center where robots were tested, prepped, and judged for design.

Justin-Siena students assisted in several capacities at the competition from inspecting robots, helping keep score, re-setting the playing field, and judging assistance.

Instructor of Engineering Garry Carpen-ter, who ran a Braves Robotics Institute on campus last summer, said “We expect more than 200 people on campus for the big day. These tournaments are all about kids show-ing off and having fun! This is exciting for Justin-Siena and ties in perfectly with what we are teaching in class—what it is to be an engineer from design and implementation to working with people and planning, and it’s

great fun to see what these young competi-tors come up with. They have so much fun.”

The top 4 teams advance to a regional competition after this event at Justin-Siena.

OCTOBER 31 MADE FOR A HAUNTED HOMECOMINGEmbracing the Halloween theme with Homecoming set for October 31, campus became a haunted backdrop for spirit days, lunchtime activities, the rally and bonfire, and the big football game against San Rafael. The Braves were victorious on the field and crowned a king and queen during the half-time festivities.

THE NAPA VALLEY FILM FESITIVAL PROVIDES LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG ENGINEERSJunior and senior engineering students at-tended a Napa Valley Film Festival showing of “Big Dream” and post-show discussion with the film makers at the Lincoln Theater. The Napa Valley Film Festival was proud to present Kelly Cox’s new documentary about girls and young women succeeding in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. “Big Dream” introduces us to and follows young women from places as diverse as Nairobi, Alaska, and inner city Phila-delphia as they beat the odds and triumph where so many of their gender have failed due to a lack of confidence or a solid support system.

DODD STADIUM ENTRANCE GETS SAFETY AND DESGIN UPGRADESThere’s no mistaking this is the Home of the Braves! This fall, Director of Facilities Brian Cassayre ’98 engineered and facilitated the installation of a new archway to welcome fans and athletes which offers many safety upgrades from the original sign erected more than 10 years ago and provids an opportunity to update the graphics to reflect the Braves’ branding. Take a look next time you’re on campus.

A RETRO PARODY FOR THE STAGE

The Twilight Zone was an American science-fiction/fantasy anthol-ogy series created by Rod Serling, which ran for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964. The series consists of unrelated stories depicting paranormal, futuristic or otherwise disturbing or unusual events; each story typically features a moral and a surprise ending. This production celebrated the 55th anniversary of the show and paid tribute to seven of the most popular episodes.

More than five decades after its premiere, The Twilight Zone is as relevant as ever. That staying power is almost as eerie as the show itself, considering the world has long since shifted past the Cold War. Yet, much of its commentary remains poignant. Taking down self-ishness, narcissism, paranoia, standards of beauty or whatever the weekly target may have been, Rod Serling and his writers would often

refocus the lens on society itself, with the suggestion that we are the true monster.

Rod Serling served as executive producer and head writer; he wrote or co-wrote 92 of the show’s 156 episodes. He was also the show’s host and narrator, delivering monologues at the beginning and end of each episode. Serling’s opening and closing narrations usually sum-marize the episode’s events encapsulating how and why the main character(s) had entered The Twilight Zone.

In 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked it as the third best-written TV series ever and TV Guide ranked it as the fifth greatest show of all time. Thanks to Director Mr. James Thomas Bailey who created this “Live on Stage” retro parody for all to enjoy and to the entire cast and crew who brought these classic episodes to life.

Student artists were comissioned this fall to create artwork for a Jus-tin-Siena Christmas card. Studio arts and graphic arts students in Ms. Monica Jacobson’s classes worked using a variety of mediums to ex-press what a Justin-Siena Christmas looked like to them, and a selection was made (pictured right).

Yesenia Villasenor ’16, Advanced Studio Art ClassTitle: Árbol de Navidad | Medium: acrylic, spray paint, collage

In the artist’s words: “With a goal of representing world cultures in the celebration of Christmas, I selected words connecting themes and emotions experienced during this joyful season. The background was painted in acrylic. After selecting the words, I collaged them in the shape of a tree, and added the letters that spelled out Merry Christmas at the end of the branches. For the fi-nal touches I used spray paint and acrylic to add depth and create a festive feel.”

GETTING IN TUNEThe music program is flourishing under the direction of Graham Terry ’04 and Lauren Seva and with our part-nership with the Napa School of Music. Record numbers of students are participating in the instrumental music program and choir, having recently expanded to include a large Advanced Choir section. In addition to campus performances such as Open House, President’s Circle Dinner, and two annual concerts, music students have been perormfing in the broader community. Recently they provided entertainment on Election Night in front of Napa City Hall. Come listen for yourself at the Winter and Spring Concerts.

MOVIE TRIVIADid anyone see the movie the Sony Pictures movie that came out late summer called When the Game Stands Tall? The film depicted the journey of legendary football coach Bob Ladouceur, (pictured to the right with the Braves’ coach-ing staff) who took the De La Salle High School Spartans (a nearby Lasal-lian school) from obscurity to a 151-game winning streak that shattered all records for any American sport. Coach Ladouceur paid a visit to the Home of the Braves to catch up with Coach Cotruvo and take in a playoff game at Dodd Stadium. The Justin-Siena football team cruised to a 42-0 victory over visiting Kelseyville in the first round of the CIF North Coast Section Div. IV, setting a great tone for their playoff run.

The Justin-Siena girls golf team received a proclamation from the Napa County Board of Supervisors, honoring the Braves on their CIF North Coast Section Division II title in October. Napa County Supervi-sors proclaimed Nov. 25, 2014, as “Justin-Siena Girls Golf Team Day in Napa County.”

Each of the players received a certificate. On hand for the ceremony were Kristina Reyna, Emma Duge, Maria Davis, Anais Gonzalez, Eleonore Catteau and Hannah Smorra. They were joined by head coach Ray Graziani and assistant coach Kali Flowers-Porter.“We have a lot of successful high school teams in Napa County,” said Bill Dodd ’74, a member of the Board of Supervisors, who was recently elected to the State Assembly. “The section championship is something that is surely coveted and is something that is a higher standard.”


alumni news

Justin-Siena inducted three outstanding alumni into the school’s Hall of Honor on Fri-day, October 3, 2014, in a spe-cial ceremony in the Clark Gym for students, faculty, staff, and invited guests. The Hall of Hon-or, held every other year since 2004, recognizes outstanding alumni who have achieved dis-tinction, emerged as leaders, and whose lives reflect Faith, Scholarship, and Service—core attributes of a true Lasallian leader. Nominations are sought through a committee of the Alumni Council.

The 2014 honorees were Mark Cassayre ’89 for Alumnus of the Year; Megan Savage Domi-nici ’92 for Excellence in Service; and Olivia Everett ’04 for Out-standing Young Alumna.

These individuals join a distinguished group that includes alumni and former faculty/staff: Tim Borman ’73, Suzanne Frommelt Collins ’81, Coach Frank Defilippis†, Leonardo Defilippis ’70, Bill Dodd ’74, Tom Durante ’93, Matthew Farver ’94, Br. Conrad Kearney, FSC, Cynthia LaBrie-Norall ’79, Christopher Lamson ’90, Joel Miroglio ’78, Bob Morrish†, Kevin Norman ’91†, Mi-chael Shifflett, M.D. ’71, Steve Silva ’71, Br. George VanGriek-en, FSC ’70, Alynn Squier Wright ’78.

As President Robert Jordan mentioned in his opening welcome re-marks, this special event is intentionally held during the school day so current students can meet, learn from, and be inspired by these former Braves. At the core of a Justin-Siena education is a Lasallian mission that these honorees have embraced and shared with their communities.

Although recipient of the Alumnus of the Year honor, Mark Cas-sayre couldn’t be here for the event, as he currently serves as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Maputo, Mozambique, he addressed the community via a video expressing his gratitude and re-marked how at Justin-Siena he learned about the concept of vocation

and knew that whatever he did in the world he needed to try his best to make a difference. He also shared with the stu-dents the importance of learn-ing at Justin-Siena that service matters, kindness matters, and that there’s a bigger world around us than the universe we occupy. Mark was introduced by fellow classmate, and friend of 30 years, Greg Calvelo ’89. His parents, Jim and Carolyn Cassayre of Napa, received the award on his behalf.

Megan Dominici was intro-duced by Justin-Siena teacher Mr. Jake Spears who credits

Megan for helping him find his own calling to teach. Megan went

on to talk about learning the importance of service as a young student at Justin-Siena and remarked also how she is continually inspired by her ongoing work with young people in her role as Director of Youth Ministry at St. Apollinaris, including current Justin-Siena students.

Olivia Everett who is President and CEO of the Napa Valley Arts Council was introduced by a colleague who spoke of her passion, dedi-cation, and admirable leadership qualities. Olivia shared how the in-

Jonathan Hoff (above), graduated summa cum laude May 2014, from Whitworth University with a bachelor of science degree in engineering physics. Jonathan was named to the Whitworth Laure-ate Society every semester,

all four years and earned the Whitworth Mind and Heart Scholarship and physics depart-ment scholarships each of those years. He also earned the Glen P. Erickson Memorial Scholar-ship his senior year.

2011

Jose Basulto-Aceves (above) is currently studying at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, CA. Jose spent a year abroad in France, influenced by his wonder-ful experience in Mrs. Annick Bouldt’s French class. He spent his fall semester in 2013 living and studying in the South of France in Aix-en-Provence, and his spring semester of 2014 in Paris. Jose is studying Communications with a focus in public relations and media journalism and a French minor. Upon his return from his travels, he was hired as an editorial intern for the East Bay Area’s Diablo Magazine and Publications.

Sarah Francke (right, center)is currently a student at the University of Kansas, School of Nursing and spent last summer in Gulu, Uganda with three classmates and three faculty members. Sarah spent two weeks at St. Mary’s Lacor Hos-pital both teaching and learning in their burn, midwifery, and

pediatrics units. During her last week, Sarah travelled to a small clinic in Pabo, Uganda to teach a “Helping Babies Breathe” class to expecting mothers and to provide well-ness check-ups for those living in Pabo and other surrounding villages. Sarah also prepared a presentation on the prevention, disease process, and treatment of Malaria that she gave in Gulu over the summer and presented at the University of Kansas this fall. The photo below is Sarah with two midwifery students who are now, after successfully completing the course, certified to teach Helping Babies Breathe in the hospital and to others in the community. Many women birth children in their homes in villages because they cannot afford hospitalization and so there is a big push to educate midwifery students on how to perform safe and sterile home births and help the newborn

breathe in that first “Golden Minute.”

2012

Meghan (Meg) Gallagher (above addressing the LSL class in the Gasser center on a recent visit to campus) is a current student at University of Notre Dame and a Hesburgh-Yusko Scholar. She is studying Politi-cal Science and French. Her passion for development work in Africa, and specifically in Uganda, drew her to the Notre Dame chapter of Building Tomorrow since her freshman year. This past summer, Meg got the opportunity to travel to Africa to research the impact of Building Tomorrow schools in rural communities of Uganda. Building Tomorrow is a non-profit that strives to expand access to quality education in sub-Saharan Africa. As of


September 2014, the organiza-tion has 17 operating primary schools and is in the process of constructing 6 additional academies. After the completion of the research project, Meg stayed in Uganda for an extra month to work in a rural parish primary school in Kyengeza. To read more about her trip, you can check out the blog her and two other Notre Dame students contributed to while in Uganda: http://ittakesavillagend.word-press.com.

Braves around the worldWe love hearing from students from our International Student Program. Here’s the latest:

Anna Mueller (above) studied at Justin-Siena for the 2013-2014 academic year and in July returned to her home in Germany. On August 10, 2014 Anna and her family travelled to Hawaii and sent us a photo of her wearing her Braves jacket at the national park of Kauai. As she put it “Once a Brave, always a Brave!” Anna is currently finishing up her high school education in Germany and hopes to come back to the U.S. for college.

In JoyCongratulations for the blessings bestowed on these Braves.

Embracing a Warm Tradition “The homecoming bonfire tradition for me is one that conjures up great memories starting from back when my brothers and I attended Justin-Siena to now as a member of the staff. I love that I get to relive those memories from years ago as I build and light the bonfire that students enjoy today. It is great to see the entire community circled around and enjoying such a unique high school tradition that you only get to experience here on campus.” – Brian Cassayre ’98

Brian engineered a special surprise with a Braves twist for the 2014 bon-fire that revealed itself well into the burn. There was a large metal sculp-ture of the Braves’ arrowhead logo standing tall as the wood crumbled around it. We are grateful to Brian for his passion and enthusiasm.


alumni news

Congratulations to Napa County Supervisor Bill Dodd ‘74 who becomes the first Jus-tin-Siena graduate to be elected to office in the state Legislature and the first Napan in the state Legislature since 1980. Recently sworn in to office, Bill is Yolo County’s State Assembly mem-ber, having won the District 4 race in the midterm election. The District covers all of Napa and Lake counties and parts of So-lano, Sonoma, Yolo, and Colusa counties.

From the Daily Republic newspaper: “I am running for the state Assembly because California needs a new direction and a fresh ap-proach,” Dodd said during his two-minute opening statement at a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters in September. “It also needs to return to basic principles like stability, integrity and co-operation.”

After graduating from Justin-Siena, Bill studied Business Manage-ment at California State University, Chico. He went on to own and operate one of the largest full-service Culligan Water opera-tions in California. During this time, Bill served as President of the national and state trade associations: the Water Qual-ity Association and the Pacific Water Quality Association.

Dodd certainly upholds the Lasallian motto, “Enter to Learn; Leave to Serve,” as he’s been serving in many capaci-ties for years. Not only a long time supporter of Justin-Siena who sent his five children to the Home of the Braves, Dodd has also been a member of the Justin-Siena High School Board of Trustees. In the greater

community he has served on the Queen of the Valley Hospi-tal Foundation, the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce, the Napa Rotary Club, and the Queen of the Valley Health Care for the Poor Committee. His new post at the State Capitol will mark the end of his 14-year post as a Napa County Supervisor. He is also a distinguished mem-ber of the Justin-Siena Alumni Hall of Honor.

In 2014, Dodd was honored by the Napa Chamber of Com-

merce as Citizen of the Year for his work in raising more than $3 mil-lion dollars for local charities to help those individuals who need it most.

Bill resides in Napa with his wife Mary where they raised their five children, Jeffrey Dodd ’00, Brian Dodd ’02, Bridget Gann ’03, Georgia Gann ’04, Robert Gann ’06, and are now enjoying their four grandchildren.

Did you know you can provide Jus-

tin-Siena with a much larger gift

than you had previously considered, re-

sulting in a partnership with great mean-

ing to you and strong future benefit to

Justin-Siena? For example, you can make

a gift that costs nothing during your life-

time. You can give stock and realize larger

tax savings. You can donate your house,

continue to live there, and get a tax ad-

vantage all at the same time.

Your planned gift could allow you to obtain some or all of the follow-ing benefits:

• Fulfill your philanthropic goals• Reap income-tax savings through charitable deductions

for the value of your gifts• Avoid capital gain taxes on contributions of long-term

capital gain property• Eliminate federal estate tax on the value of the interest

in the property eventually passing to charity• Reduce costs and time in estate planning

One of the simplest ways to benefit Justin-Siena is to name the school in your will with a general bequest. Planned gifts can build a financial safety net for the school by building an endowment that gives lasting and ongoing support. Please contact the Advancement Office at 707.255.0950 ext. 628 or [email protected] to find out more information or if you have already included Justin-Siena in your estate.

PERMIT # 42

JUSTIN-SIENA is a Catholic high school in the Lasallian tradition offering a college preparatory program that serves approximately 670 young men and women in grades 9–12. Founded in 1966 by the De La Salle Christian Brothers and the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael, the school is located on forty acres in the City of Napa. Justin-Siena serves a diverse student body from Napa, Sonoma, and Solano Counties.

Something to Cheer AboutOn December 6, the Justin-Siena Competition Cheer Team took first place at the UCA Cheer Competition held at UC Davis. This achievement also earns them a bid for the National High School Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, Florida. That same day, our varsity football team earned their 6th NCS title since 2000. What a great season for the Braves!
