More Importantly
Shown here left to right are Mr. Norm Chavez, teacher with 25 years at Serra, Diana Villaroman '12, now at UCLA, Mr. Wissa, Faye Villaroman '10, Stanford '14 and headed for Microsoft, and Huy Nguyen '12, another Bruin.
 Tatiana Howard '13 (right), Seattle University 3.7 GPA last semester and a Biology - Criminal Justice double major, returned to campus along with Drea Toler '13 (left), University of Oregon 3.3 undeclared. They are shown here with McKinsey Hadley who teaches Algebra & Geometry along with coaching a little basketball. (Coach Hadley will be at the Gala)
We missed a current picture of Emmanuel Ndumanya '13 who is now at Santa Clara.
The Dedication to Excellence Gala is honoring just a teacher, Mr. John McFarland. Teachers have an immeasurable impact on the lives of their students and their peers. The past few weeks we have had the opportunity to speak to a number of Mr. McFarland's Serra students. The impact he has had on so many is stunning. Serra has a number of young teachers. They perform superbly. In the last few days we've asked 2 recent transfer students, "What do you think of Serra?" In each case, the reply was the same. "I like it." The next question, " Why?" The replies were the same. "Because the teachers care about you and I'm learning stuff." (only one of the respondents said "stuff.")
A good number of our teachers will be attending the Dedication Gala. Come to honor Mr. McFarland, teacher. Take the opportunity to meet Serra's teachers who "care" and teach "stuff." Like John McFarland. In 20 or 30 or 40 years, our teachers will come to realize the impact they are having on on their student's lives right now.
There will be some great investment opportunities at the Dedication to Excellence Gala at the Silent Auction. Serra's in-house artist, Tim Boyer '70 has donated 2 original pieces to the Silent Auction. Mr. Boyer's best student this year, Zeyel Nash '15 , has already won scholarships at the Otis Art Institute. Zeyel has donated an original piece. Artist on the rise Mikael Brinston is donating a print. Mikael's work is displayed at the Mississippi World Trade Center in Jackson, MS. She has won numerous awards and has sold and been commissioned to do many pieces. Mikael is the cousin of Dawn Brinston who serves on the Program Committee for the Dedication to Excellence.
In the sports world, we have some exciting items. For real risk takers, we will have a baseball signed by the Triple A Sacramento RiverCats. There may be a future Hall of Famer who signs that baseball. Dominick Smith '13, the future first baseman for the New York Mets is sending 2 signed baseballs. There will be more.
If you have something of immense value and you want to donate it to the silent auction contact Joe Cormier at 310-324-6675 x1017 or jcormier@la-serrahs.org.
