ABOUT THE SCHOOL SEAL In addition to identifying our location and the year of our 1966 founding, our seal contains the history of our school. The Justin-Siena seal embodies the icons of the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael (who co-sponsored the school through the 2005-06 academic year) and the De La Salle Christian Brothers.

The original Dominican black and white cross, fleury, indicates a spiritual ideal in spreading the Gospel of Christ by preaching and teaching. The five-pointed star signifies the sign of faith, which guides all Christian Brothers and Lasallian partners in their vocation of Christian education.

Finally, “Sempre Avanti” heralds the legacy of the Brothers, and more specifically, Justin High School. Italian for “always forward” these words appeared on the Justin High School seal representing a commitment to looking forward and never being complacent, while exhibiting a passion for preparing the students entrusted to their care.

“When you greet someone in Burundi, you usually say, ‘Amahoro,’ ‘Peace.’ When you repeat Amahoro many times, as Deo did when he heard his father’s voice, it means that you are overjoyed.

The single glow of the candle reminds us of God’s presence, and represents the warmth and spirit of family that becomes so obvious this time of year.

The power of the light of Christ radiates within certain traditions on our campus that take place this time of year.

The introduction of new signs and symbols emerge for our students. Our weather forces our community inside more on our predominately outside campus. The warmth of our community is put on display in our dining hall at lunch, at our traditional all school Thanksgiving feast, and in the sacredness of the Mont La Salle Chapel during our Christmas music concert. It is further evident even outside at our alumni games the day before Thanksgiving, or as the warm summer nights that represented the opening of fall sports, are now replaced by blankets and hot chocolate as we watch our Braves enter the division playoffs.

Get to Know Agnes Bailey Director of Residential Life

Agnes (Aggie) Bailey, Director of Residential Life, is learning to navigate her new role at Justin-Siena. While she technically is not mom, not teacher, and not friend, she finds that she nevertheless experiences aspects of these relationships in her interactions with the students. She enjoys getting to know the students and the humor which characterizes their interactions. She grows increasingly protective of them as any mother would do, and she finds herself inspired by their warmth and positive attitudes which she refers to as “a maturity of the heart.” The Student Residence is a happy place where they are all learning together to “live their faith, treat people well, and respect each other.”

Compelled by a Duty to Serve “When you greet someone in Kirundi, you usually say, ‘Amahoro,’ ‘Peace.’

When you repeat Amahoro many times, as Deo did when he heard his father’s voice, it means that you are overjoyed. Amahoro, Amahoro, Amahoro,” quoted English teacher Louis Pierotti ’72 to introduce guest speaker Deogratias “Deo” Niyizonkiza at the “One School, One Book” assembly on October 28, 2014. The packed house of students, staff, visitors, and community members resounded with a heartfelt welcome for both Deo and Tracy Kidder, author of the book about Deo’s life and work, Strength in What Remains.

highlighted the astounding difference between life in Burundi and life in the United States. Burundi ranks 180 out of 187 countries in the United Nations Human Development Program’s Human Development Index; the U.S. ranks 5, slightly behind Norway, Australia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. In the United States, there are 247 doctors for every 100,000 people; in Burundi, there are 2 for every 100,000. “Such injustices should not exist in the 21st century,” he claims. Images of a primitive hospital surgery in Burundi illustrated this point as well as his assessment that the Ebola crisis in West Africa is a result of such disparity and a broken health care system. “This is why Village Health Works was created, based in the value of the dignity of others,” Deo explained.

Before and after photographs supported his point: emaciated patents were transformed through appropriate treatment into healthy, vibrant people. “When you consider what all of us here have been given, there is no limit to what the world expects from us,” Deo made clear. “It is our duty and responsibility to serve.”

The contrast urges us to ask, “What can we do? There is much to do,” said Deo. He continued, “Look at the beauty, abundance, and resources which surround you, and ask, ‘What did I do to be born As the Justin-Siena 2014 “One School, One Book” summer reading selection, Strength in What Remains is a nonfiction account which chronicles the journey of Deogratias who as a young medical student, fled war-torn Burundi, migrated to the U.S., and returned home to found Village Health Works, the only modern health center in the region. Strength in What Remains was chosen by the Summer Reading Committee for its compelling exploration of faith issues, global perspectives, and strong social justice themes.

Kidder acknowledged in his opening remarks that he “did not set out to do a good deed” when he decided to write about Deo’s experiences; “I just found it a good story.” He discovered, however, that Deo’s story “rang true at a deeper level. Deo did not have to go back to Burundi; he could have lived a life of prosperity as a doctor in the United States, but he did go back—to serve.” Kidder urged the audience to resist modern cynicism when they reflect on Deo’s story: “There is such a thing as true altruism in the world. What Deo created at Village Health Works in Burundi is a marvelous health center and instrument of peace.”

Deo began his presentation with some sobering statistics which 8

into such wealth? What did those in Burundi do to be born into such poverty?’” The situation can be overwhelming, but Deo told a familiar story about a man saving starfish, tossing them back in the water one at a time from among thousands stranded on a beach. When a passerby asked how he could hope to make a difference for the starfish in the face of such overwhelming numbers, the man replied as he tossed one starfish in to the water, “It made a difference for that one!” Deo continued, “You cannot change the whole world overnight, but waiting is not a solution. Save one life and you save a family; save one family, and you save a village, save one village, and you save a country.” The story resonated with many students. Olivia O’Brien ’17 commented in a classroom blog, “No good deed is too small to affect the greater problem at hand.

Helping one person…may not change the world…but it changes lives.”

During the student question and answer period which followed, the contrast between two cultures, worlds apart, was made abundantly clear. In lives constantly filled with the fear of death, fear was pervasive.

“You avoid it all cost,” Deo explained. In response to a question about the lives of teenagers by Ramiro Mendoza-Axle ’15, Deo talked about

school in Burundi: “I remember going to school on the first day and being in a room packed with students. But by the end of the year, there were half of us left at best. Some died of illness, others left school to look after their families when the mothers had died. Some had to return to the fields.” Deo explained that life was so harsh and death so ever-present, there was no time to think about recreation in the sense it has here. Alumna Dr. Emily Cotter ’00 (see sidebar), present at the assembly, reiterated the contrast: “I am always surprised by the vast disparity of wealth between places like Napa and rural communities like Kigutu. I still have trouble understanding how our world has developed in a way that leaves so many millions of people without access to safe drinking water, sanitation, electricity, nutrition, and basic health care, when others live in a paradise people visit for destination weddings, honeymoons, fine dining, and wine tasting.”

Another question and its answer evoked considerable discussion later: Elessia Stel ’15 asked about the outlook for young women in Burundi. “No woman owns land in Burundi, yet they work the hardest,” Deo responded.

“Few go far in school because of the needs at home. Pregnancy is most often a death sentence for a young woman, who because of malnourishment cannot deliver a baby except by C-section, and these are not readily available.” In discussions the next day, students were grieved by the reality of this response.

Lindsey Krill ’16 lamented, “It is hard to fathom. Here a pregnancy is joyful news; it is such a harsh contrast to think that this news in Burundi would mean more suffering and potential death, more to fear.”

By the end of the assembly and in question and answer sessions following, Deo’s message to the Justin-Siena community and to the world emerged clearly. “We build peace by understanding the cause of conflict. We change lives and strengthen the community through dialogue certainly, but we must first provide the necessities of life,” Deo explained. “Much comes from hard lives lived in constant desperation and fear of death. It is essential that we eradicate poverty.” How would Deo sum up his message to us? “You, too, can do it. You can make a difference. But don’t wait—too much time is wasted in waiting, and the urgency of the need is now. You have so much—you must convince yourselves that you can change a life, and by so doing, change the world!”

Former Brave Emily Cotter ’00 Serves at Village Health Works Justin-Siena alumna Dr. Emily Cotter ’00 served at Village Health Works (VHW) in Burundi this year in both February and September. During that experience, Dr. Cotter relates, “I worked on establishing a preschool health program to provide pediatric health care to the students at a VHW-supported preschool in Kigutu. In September, I worked on multiple projects including medical teaching on assorted topics including an EKG lecture series, consulting on difficult cases during rounds with the clinical team, Ebola preparedness, and assorted other clinical/program management projects.” Why two stints at VHW? “I returned to Village Health Works as I truly respect the organization and resonate with its mission,” said Dr. Cotter.

“I was inspired by the holistic approach to the promotion of health through activities like education and agricultural and economic development. I adored getting to know, and working with, incredibly dedicated and inspirational colleagues in Kigutu. I felt welcomed immediately and find it wonderful to have a global health ‘home away from home.’”

Emily has also worked on global health projects in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Australia. She relates, “I feel incredibly privileged with the education I’ve been able to pursue, from Justin-Siena through medical school. A strong foundation in social justice and human rights drives my desire to serve in places like Kigutu, with organizations like Village Health Works.”

Dr. Cotter received her Bachelor of Science degree from Tulane University in New Orleans, graduating in 2004. She then earned a Master of Public Health in Infectious Diseases from UC Berkeley in 2006. After working in public health for a few years, Emily went on to achieve a Doctor of Medicine degree from George Washington University in Washington, DC, graduating in 2012. She is currently in her third (and final) year of a family medicine residency at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, a county hospital in Martinez, California, where she is pursuing a full spectrum of family medicine training (inpatient, obstetrics, surgery, pediatrics, etc.) and enjoys working with an underserved population.

Joshua lives in Fairfield where he attended B. Gale Wilson Middle School. He has a freshman sister, Madison, at Justin-Siena and two other siblings. He has been scouting for a good part of his life, starting in the Cub Scouts and moving up to Webelos while living in Southern California. In 2008, his family relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he eventually joined the Boy Scouts. Soon after, the family moved to Fairfield. Joshua has held many leadership positions with the troop including Patrol Leader, Scribe, Quartermaster, Chaplin’s Aide, and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. He was chosen by his peers to become part of the Order of the Arrow, characterized as Scouting’s “national honor society.” He is currently part of Troop 482 in Cordelia, CaliforAn abdominal injury during middle school prevented Joshua Covarrubias ’16 from continuing his interest in football at Justin-Siena, but he seized the opportunity to focus his energies instead on advancing

“Poking around Rockville Park in Fairfield, I discovered that the indigenous turtles are being killed off because migratory geese are competing with the space on the docks, pushing them into the water,” Joshua explained. “If the turtles return to the shore instead, they are more easily killed by dogs and raccoons.” To solve the problem, and after considerable feasibility research, Joshua conceived a plan for separate decks. “One 8’ x 8’ floating dock will be a resting and sunning area for the turtles,” Joshua theorizes. “Then l have constructed two separate 5’ x 5’ stationary docks, each with a tire in the middle, to attract the geese to a potential nesting area.” Joshua began his project in August and

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HOSTS FIRST LEGO REBOTICS COMPETITION On Saturday, November 15, 2014 from 9am5pm, the Justin-Siena Engineering Department hosted an official FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Robotics Competition (FRC). Sixteen teams of students from 9-14 years of age, who spent the last six or more weeks preparing robots and presentations, converged at Justin-Siena to show off their creations.

What is FIRST LEGO League? In FLL, young people are immersed in real-world science and technology challenges. Through

A SHAKEY START TO THE SCHOOL YEAR Just one week into the new school year, the Justin-Siena campus was rocked by the South Napa Quake. With an epicenter just 6 miles south of campus and a magnitude of 6.1, the quake made its mark on campus.

Luckily our single-story campus saw no major structural damage, but there were plenty of messes to clean up and rattled nerves to console. Justin-Siena was the first Napa school to reopen after the quake due to the great response for clean up assistance.

When school resumed the Tuesday following the quake, students, faculty, and staff gathered in Patrons Plaza to begin the day in prayer together. Thank you to all those who offered assistance in the form of dollars, for photos of quake damage around campus and the cleanup efforts

prayers, helping hands, and kind words. It is moments like these that remind us of the power of the Braves community. Thanks especially to the following who answered our call to action in the form of earthquake relief for fixing broken windows, a new fountain, glass and altar repairs in the Chapel of the Christian Brothers, and much more.

their participation, children develop valuable life skills and discover exciting career possibilities while learning that they can make a positive contribution to society. FLL offers many programs and the Robotics Tournament is an exciting one. Dubbed a varsity sport for the Mind,™ FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise

funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program a robot to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real world” engineering as a student can get.

Eager to see what other students create and present, Justin-Siena engineering students planned this qualifying competition and were responsible for the setup and coordination of the event. Faculty, staff and parent volunteers were on hand to assist the Engineering Department. Department Chair Mr. Chris Fidler ’02 served as “Pit Boss” stationed in the Gasser Center where robots were tested, prepped, and judged for design.

Justin-Siena students assisted in several capacities at the competition from inspecting robots, helping keep score, re-setting the playing field, and judging assistance.

Instructor of Engineering Garry Carpenter, who ran a Braves Robotics Institute on campus last summer, said “We expect more than 200 people on campus for the big day.

These tournaments are all about kids showing off and having fun! This is exciting for Justin-Siena and ties in perfectly with what we are teaching in class—what it is to be an engineer from design and implementation to working with people and planning, and it’s

great fun to see what these young competitors come up with. They have so much fun.”

The top 4 teams advance to a regional competition after this event at Justin-Siena.

OCTOBER 31 MADE FOR A HAUNTED HOMECOMING Embracing the Halloween theme with Homecoming set for October 31, campus became a haunted backdrop for spirit days, lunchtime activities, the rally and bonfire, and the big football game against San Rafael.

The Braves were victorious on the field and crowned a king and queen during the halftime festivities.

Head Coach – Rich Cotruvo A big win over MCAL power house Marin Catholic was a singular achievement for this squad. However, the team also took a share of the MCAL Championship and is positioned for a strong post season run. The team enjoyed enthusiastic support from a great student section all season long in going 6-0 at Dodd Stadium. Earning their 6th NCS title since 2000, the Braves have much to celebrate this season.

MOVIE TRIVIA Did anyone see the movie the Sony Pictures movie that came out late summer called When the Game Stands Tall? The film depicted the journey of legendary football coach Bob Ladouceur, (pictured to the right with the Braves’ coaching staff) who took the De La Salle High School Spartans (a nearby Lasallian school) from obscurity to a 151-game winning streak that shattered all records for any American sport. Coach Ladouceur paid a visit to the Home of the Braves to catch up with Coach Cotruvo and take in a playoff game at Dodd Stadium. The Justin-Siena football team cruised to a 42-0 victory over visiting Kelseyville in the first round of the CIF North Coast Section Div. IV, setting a great tone for their playoff run.

The Hall of Honor event speaks greatly to the mission of our school as it celebrates what students have learned while at Justin-Siena and, more importantly, what they’ve done with their passion and knowledge since graduating. The honorees serve as excellent role models to our students and a testament to the incredible work of our teachers over the years.

Legacy Circle Your Legacy Gift Makes a Lifetime of Impact

D

id you know you can provide Justin-Siena with a much larger gift

than you had previously considered, resulting in a partnership with great meaning to you and strong future benefit to Justin-Siena? For example, you can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime. You can give stock and realize larger tax savings. You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a tax advantage all at the same time.

Your planned gift could allow you to obtain some or all of the following benefits: •

Reap income-tax savings through charitable deductions for the value of your gifts •

Avoid capital gain taxes on contributions of long-term capital gain property •

• Eliminate federal estate tax on the value of the interest in the property eventually passing to charity •

Fulfill your philanthropic goals

Reduce costs and time in estate planning

One of the simplest ways to benefit Justin-Siena is to name the school in your will with a general bequest. Planned gifts can build a financial safety net for the school by building an

Founded in 1966 by the De La Salle Christian Brothers and the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael, the school is located on forty acres in the City of Napa. Justin-Siena serves a diverse student body from Napa, Sonoma, and Solano Counties.

Something to Cheer About On December 6, the Justin-Siena Competition Cheer Team took first place at the UCA Cheer Competition held at UC Davis. This achievement also earns them a bid for the National High School Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, Florida. That same day, our varsity football team earned their 6th NCS title since 2000. What a great season for the Braves!
