Serving the dear neighbor...
Thank you for your generosity!

To the wonderful, compassionate students, parents, faculty and staff of Carondelet and De La Salle.
On behalf of our suffering country, we want to thank you for the overwhelming response to the donation drive call. Because of you, many refugees fleeing the atrocities of war will have food, medicine and hygiene items, many of which we all take for granted in our everyday lives.
From day one of initiating this drive in our neighborhood, we were overwhelmed with the response of the community, and the outreach was nothing short of remarkable, with a beautiful cherry on top—the donation drive at CHS and DLS, which produced a solid truck-load of much needed, ready-to-ship items. Over the past two weeks, we have collected and sent more than 600 boxes of donations, and raised over $30,000 to send to Ukraine.
Our country is on fire, our friends, relatives, and colleagues are in perpetual danger, and many lives are being destroyed on a daily basis. And yet, a reaction like this one is what keeps our morale strong, and what gives our countrywomen and countrymen additional hope for a bright, peaceful future, and hope!
In the words of our daughter, Sasha - After this experience, my faith in humanity is restored!
On behalf of the Milshtein family, and on behalf of all Ukraine
Thank you, Carondelet! Thank you, De La Salle!
Слава Украине! (Long live Ukraine!)

Avery Ehrlich will continue her volleyball career at Colby College as a Mule. Avery was named MVP of JV volleyball as a sophomore, named all-tournament player at The Viking Classic and the Sonoma Valley Tournament, and made the second all-tournament team in the East Bay Athletic League. She chose Colby because the coach matched her level of competitiveness, the community at Colby is amazing, and the academics are even better. Read more about our NLI Athletes.

While there are no direct impacts to the Carondelet campus, there will be intermittent trail closures of the Contra Costa Canal Trail between Oak Grove and Citrus. Be aware that this trail may be inaccessible while work is underway. If you use these routes to get to or from school, plan for alternate routes during the construction schedule of March 14-31.
