A Community Committed to One Another
This week we have our annual St. Marty’s Party for children from the Monument Crisis Center. We have over 250 Carondelet students volunteering to help with this event. It is so gratifying to see our students as they learn, and in some cases re-learn, what makes our community such a special place.
The commitment our faculty and staff have for providing opportunities including our Alpha, Shalom, and Kairos Retreats; the Frosh Day of Service where students created over 27,000 packaged meals for Kids Against Hunger; and our Junior Ring Ceremony—is truly appreciated and a testament to the love and care we have for our students.
We know that the first months of school have been an adjustment for all of us. The fact that we are able to provide such wonderful experiences—experiences that our students truly enjoy and grow from is the core of what we are as an institution.

As many are aware, De La Salle has addressed an unfortunate social media post from last weekend. The De La Salle administration sent out messaging about this incident and De La Salle student leaders addressed both schools Friday morning. Jennifer Reinwald, VP of Student Life, has been working with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council to create forums to have discussions and conversations about our school environment and how we can become an even more inclusive and equitable environment.
We will continue to work with De La Salle to ensure that these conversations and discussions occur on both campuses. Our mission at its heart is to strive toward unifying love and love of neighbor without distinction. We strive to achieve those ideals at all times and in all that we do. Here is our DEI statement that we adopted in June 2021.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Tiny House Update
Two walls up, two to go! It’s been amazing to see these students roll up their sleeves and build as a team and bring this vision to life. After the last big build days, the walls are going up and the trailer is leveled, insulated, protected from water, and has 1/4 of the subfloor installed. Keep up the good work! Follow their progress on Instagram @carondelet_engineer.

In a world where women and girls continue to face issues of inequality at every phase of life and in every industry, Carondelet offers an environment and philosophy that sets our daughters up for success. Their talents and abilities are nurtured and their dreams cultivated.
Each academic year, July 1 through June 30, we invite parents to join us in empowering our students by making a gift to the Parent Fund. Thank you to all parents who have already participated this year via an ongoing pledge or one-time gift. Your support of the parent fund is the single most important gift you can give to our school.
Our goal is 100% participation by December 31. Below is our current participation rate by class compared to participation at the end of last fiscal year 20-21. The class with the greatest participation wins a pizza party!

Please join us with a gift to the Parent Fund. Every commitment makes a difference—no matter the amount—and we invite you to make a donation that best suits your family.
