greeting Greetings from Mr. Eric Stong, Director of Facilities and Grounds.

The Facilities Department, made up of an eight person maintenance/custodial crew, maintains the school grounds and provides a safe, clean environment for students, faculty and staff.  We continually inspect the school to determine what repairs, equipment replacement, and maintenance projects are needed for the facilities and incorporate this into our five-year plan.

Over long school breaks - spring, summer, and Christmas - we coordinate larger projects for the school. In the past these have included classroom renovations, roof replacements, and new HVAC systems.

We are also responsible for the setup and removal of the many events held on campus - ranging from dances to liturgies and club fair to graduation.

On behalf of the facilities staff we would like to wish you a safe and an outstanding year of good fortune.

Sincerely,
Mr. Eric Stong

sisterSister Clare Dunn Political Forum

With 2012 being an election year, talk of politics is everywhere in the form of tweets, posts, likes and even good old face to face discussions. This past Thursday, October 18, we decided to use our annual Sister Clare Dunn Forum as a way to look at the current Political issues through the context of Catholic Social Teachings. A panel of 3 adult speakers began the discussion followed by an opportunity for students and faculty/staff to ask questions or make comments.

Thank you to everyone who participated and worked to make the forum engaging and thought provoking. If you would like to know more about Catholic Social Teachings and the related political issues of the 2012 election, simply follow this link.

(for everything Visions - please visit the Visions of Christmas web page regularly)

Visions of Christmas - Volunteers Needed:
There are still plenty of slots for you to sign up and volunteer to work during the Visions events, but in particular we are looking for the following:
  • One or two individuals to help co-chair the Tuesday tea.  We have someone in place to train so you won't be on your own!
  • Kitchen help for the Wednesday - Friday teas

You can sign-up to help in the kitchen or for any of the other jobs by following the link on the Visions webpage.  If you would like to co-chair, contact Kathleen Russell at krussel@carondeleths.org


Reservations Update:
The Friday tea is sold out so don't wait too long to make your reservation for the Tuesday - Thursday teas.  Tickets are selling fast and there is no way to know when they will reach capacity.  Also, gather your friends and get those reservation made for the best party in town - A Taste of Christmas (21 & older only)!  The Family Breakfast with Santa may be last, but should not be considered least.  Family members of all ages enjoy this magical morning capped off with the drawing for the beautiful Christmas Trees and Quilt.

Please keep in mind that Visions of Christmas is a FUNDRAISER whose purpose is to raise money to directly benefit our young women in need of tuition assistance in order to attain or continue their Carondelet education.  Serving our students through financial support is essential and reflects our dedication to our mission.  We are still in need of financial sponsorships and in-kind donations and hope you will consider making a contribution today.  Visit the Visions webpage for the online sponsorship link, downloadable forms, and gift suggestions.  We are registered at Macy's, Crate & Barrel, and Bed Bath and Beyond to make it easy for you to shop.  Log on to any of these registries using Carondelet Carondelet. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Russell krussell@carondeleths.org or (925) 686-5353 x151.
