La Raza is a club that is dedicated to celebrating and educating the CB community on the Latino and Hispanic culture. Día de los Muertos (November 1 through 2) is an important celebration in the Latino culture and is how we kick off the start of Latino Heritage Week (November 1 through 7).

We encourage you to watch the videos below and get a glimpse of how Latino culture and heritage is celebrated this month.

Last week, we shared a message with our community regarding the tragic events surrounding the murder of George Floyd. Since that time, both Lorcan Barnes and I have heard from members of our community that the initial comment did not adequately convey how much the black community means to us, and the outrage we feel for the travesties that have befallen the African American community within our nation. For that, we are truly sorry.

As the incoming president, I am proud of our courageous, current and former students who have been brave in speaking up about their hurtful experiences. I also need to show that same courage by addressing the concerns with humility and integrity.

In the coming days and weeks, students, alumni and parents will be invited to engage in dialog that will assist our work in upholding an accountable and inclusive community. I want you all to feel comfortable and empowered in holding me, and the school, accountable if we do not uphold equity, inclusion and justice for all students on our campus.

I am also partnering with the Black Student Union (BSU) to invite parents and students to have ‘Breakfast with the President,’ so that I can personally ensure them that their sons and daughters are entitled on this campus – entitled to feel safe, to feel celebrated and to feel valued.

In furthering the work that is already being done, the Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) initiative on campus will expand to include a parent committee. Currently there is an adult D&I Committee that is made up of a cross-section of administrators, faculty and staff, and a student D&I Committee (D.I.S.C.) for students. The school’s diversity and inclusion activities, which are currently displayed on an internal website, will soon be displayed on our external D&I web page to showcase the school’s D&I efforts.

CB will continue to host its annual Respect for All Persons Week and invest in diversity and inclusion training for all members of the school community. This year, we will also begin our school year with a discussion for all faculty, staff and students regarding social justice, and the racial insensitivity that has plagued our nation and our local community. Part of that discussion will ensure that every person on campus, and their families, are aware of channels to share concerns including our Anonymous Alerts app, which allows individuals to report instances of bullying, harassment or other apprehensions anonymously.

To all students, alumni and families, we want you to know that we hear you. You are safe here. You are loved. On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration, please know that we are committed to listening, learning, and doing the work to ensure that we are living our Lasallian Core Principles of Respect for All Persons, Inclusive Community, and Social Justice.

Sincerely,

Crystal LeRoy, Ed.D.
Incoming President
