Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.

Lord our God, help us who have listened in the name of Jesus Christ and heard the good tidings. Help us come with our whole hearts to the Savior, who leads us into your arms.

DeLaSalle will celebrate its Catholic identity during Catholic Schools Week, while also giving students an escape from winter through Winterfest.

As a reminder, all out-of-uniform guidelines from the Student-Parent handbook are in effect for Winterfest Week: This means “No yoga pants, halter tops, tank tops, or bare midriffs; no sunglasses; and only knee length shorts and skits will be permitted” at any time during the week. Students in violation of these guidelines will be required to wear a uniform from the loaner closet.

  • Today’s Out of Uniform: Pajama Day
    Come to school looking like you just rolled out of bed, bring a blanket or your favorite stuffed animal.
  • Tomorrow’s Out of Uniform: Fan Friday
    Islanders may dress in support of their favorite band, team or sport.
