St David Bears roar around the block to kick off Fall Festival
St. David School News & Notes
Dear St. David School Families,

First of all I want to thank Mr. Farr and Mrs. Sutherlin for taking care of last week's News and Notes. Last week I was at the annual administration conference hosted by the Diocese of Oakland. Having a chance to go on a retreat with other Catholic School principals in the diocese, one of my takeaways is how we at St David School share a common mission with the other Catholic Schools. We all strive to develop well rounded students who have the tools to succeed in high school and beyond as well be centered in Christ. In working to fulfill the school's mission we must look into how communicate with one another and take into consideration how different personalities react differently into news. In learning how to communicate effectively, we develop a sense of empathy towards one another.

Congratulations to the 5th grade class for doing an excellent job leading the all school Mass. If you want to see them in action, they will also lead the 11 AM Mass this Sunday.

Finally, I would like to welcome back the class of 2019 from Caritas. Their joy and exuberance, as well as their cheers, have been felt throughout the school. I want to thank them for bringing a positive attitude and joy to St David School. 

Your Servant in Christ,
Jojo de Guzman
