The "S" Club and the Jefferson Awards, Students In Action Team recently collected peanut butter, canned tuna, and mac & cheese for the Monument Crisis Center's Spooktacular Food Drive. Special thanks to  Marissa Ennis '20 and her family, who made a generous donation of 500 cans of Bumble Bee tuna!   Our students and their families are truly carrying on the tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph by helping the dear neighbor. Great work, ladies!

In August 2016, Sophia Colello '17 received the Gold Award from the Girl Scouts of the USA. This is highest honor awarded within the organization for outstanding service. Sophia was given this award for her 1 1/2 year-long project working with Warm Hearth, an international NGO in the former Soviet republic of Armenia.  Warm Hearth is the first group home in the country for orphaned or abandoned mentally disabled adults. Sophia helped raise funds and collect supplies to support their art program. The residents of Warm Hearth create works of art, weave rugs and tapestries which they sell to further fund their home. This gives the residents a sense of independence and pride.  Sophia purchased more than $5,000 worth of art supplies by holding bake sales and raising awareness for their needs through various school and church organizations. She also visited the home in Armenia. Sophia shared the skills she learned from her UC Berkeley art class to teach the residents new artistic techniques that helped to enhance their abilities and the success program. Congratulations, Sophia!

Join us for a free screening and moderated discussion  for  The Mask You Live In.

Wednesday, Nov. 16 at  6:30 p.m. for the screening and 8:00 p.m. for the discussion 

Location: DLS Hofmann Center

The Mask You Live In (2015) follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America's narrow definition of masculinity. Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence.
