JUSTIN-SIENA HIGH SCHOOL | FALL 2021 | HONOR ROLL of INVESTORS

FA L L 2 0 2 1

MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER St. John Baptist de La Salle teaches us that “one commitment leads to another.”

This foundational philosophy was embodied en masse by our entire community over this past year and quite literally gave us the ultimate example of what it means to be truly committed, to be ALLHEART. Being ALLHEART is rooted in believing, loving, and willing ourselves forward no matter the circumstance. Those recent difficult times saw our school act as one with bravery. JustinSiena became the first local high school to return to in-person learning, with reimagined adolescent rites of passage such as Homecoming, Prom, and Graduation, all while delivering our ever-thriving co-curricular programs with renewed zeal.

AVA N T I M AG A Z I N E

Surprised by Joy Surprised by Joy is the title of one of my favorite books. It was written by C.S. Lewis, the famous theologian, scholar, and author. His words trace his journey from that of a confirmed atheist to much later in life, a confirmed and practicing Christian. Despite challenging experiences, he moved forward by asking life’s great questions, associating with those who truly loved him, and opening his heart to God’s gentle call to grace and kinship.

In so doing, joy entered his life in a variety of unexpected ways.

My first weeks and months here at Justin-Siena have been an absolute joy for me. Although our students are not immune from the stresses and challenges of high school life, I have found them to be uniquely energetic, insightful, bright, funny, and caring. As they navigate the high school experience together, they are moving forward in becoming women and men willing to serve and lead in an everchanging world.

The binding ties of current students and alumni were celebrated at our All Saints Day Mass, during which we launched Justin-Siena’s inaugural “Golden Diploma” celebration. It was a joyful occasion to honor the first group of students to graduate from Justin-Siena, the Class of 1970. The alumni/ae relished reconnecting with each other as well as interacting with our students, who led them on a VIP tour of their alma mater. Despite their differences in age and perspective, both groups shared genuine appreciation for their Justin-Siena experience.

I hope that this edition of Avanti finds you and your loved ones well, ...and that the following pages bring you pride and joy.

Sincerely,

Lars Lund Interim President

makes us a success story Life paused for some, but Justin-Siena found ways to stay connected and ALLHEART. Alicia Valdivia, Director of Admissions Justin-Siena’s mission to prepare our students to “serve and to lead in an everchanging world” has never been more relevant than during the pandemic. As the superior academic choice for Napa and the surrounding communities, we were able to navigate education and student wellness by routes which were nothing short of heroic. Essential to our success was our heritage of Lasallian values and the strength of our administration and staff. You hear and see us use the expression “ALLHEART.” As a loving Christ-centered community, being ALLHEART is at the core of how we serve our mission, St. John Baptist de La Salle founded the Christian Brothers and what we know as Lasallian education over 300 years ago. The original principle of educators being older brothers and sisters to those entrusted to our care has guided Justin-Siena to be the refuge for our students in their darkest times of need. While the world was shut down, and we sheltered in place, Justin-Siena was present. We immediately deployed digital learning. We were among the first schools to resume in-person classes. We instituted Wellness Wednesdays to provide students and staff the opportunity to attend to their overall health. All of these measures reflect what a Lasallian community is - an extended family who cares for one another.

De La Salle calls us to ask the fundamental question: what do the students need?

Together we are all in and relationships are key. As Justin-Siena moves forward in our Mission and in our Strategic Plan, we do so with pride for the great things we accomplish in our community. At a time when enrollment is declining in public schools, by providing academic and personal support, JustinSiena is fulfilling a need in our community.

How has being ALLHEART moved you forward?

ALLHEART means everything. I love this community and always gathering with each other. I am ALLHEART because I choose kindness toward my friends and I move forward in life.

What are you most proud of as a Justin-Siena student?

I am proud of myself and my mom because she helps me with my college applications. I am proud of getting better grades this year, being on time more for my classes, and proud of the friends I have made. I am proud of doing theatre, basketball conditioning, and swimming too.

Being the second of three Braves, how has Justin-Siena acted as an extension of your family?

My dad went here in 1988, and my older sister Grace graduated in 2018, and my sister Sam will graduate in 2025.

My friend Grace Grimshaw, all of the mentors and teachers I have had, and Mrs. Sinclair are like my family because if I am feeling down or upset or need help with something, they are there for me.

“Your faith should be a shining light The teaching journey of Stephanie Roybal Cultivating authentic student relationships begins even before the start of the school year for history teacher, Stephanie Roybal. She is unapologetically tough, but assures her students that she pushes them because she sees in them what they might not yet see in themselves - in much the same way that teachers encouraged her before she recognized her own depth and talents. Stephanie is known to mix history lessons with tools for her students to challenge themselves to be better. While she appreciates they might not be ready to understand that seeds are being planted, she hopes that one day they will look back and recognize how much she truly cares and believes in them. Yahaira “Ya Ya” Martinez ’22 says, “She lets us struggle before explaining the material - but in a good way! Ms. Roybal makes it fun to learn and class is never boring.”

The move last year from Sacramento to Justin-Siena has been positive. She appreciates the smaller community and the seamless collaboration with peers. Small class sizes have made building relationships with students more natural. Stephanie is especially moved by how open and genuine the faculty and staff are about their faith, and impressed with the respect shown by students at prayer services and liturgies.

In addition to her role as a classroom teacher, Stephanie leads monthly Community Formation gatherings for faculty and staff. She believes it is important to bring everyone together to connect, to provide space for sharing, and to include time for reflection and the quiet to communicate with God. Stephanie’s teaching career began 16 years ago. She has two boxes labeled “Good Stuff” that hold every picture, card, and thank you note ever given to her by students. The boxes include a recent note from a 2021 Justin-Siena graduate who wrote to thank her (although she gave him his only B).

Stephanie never wavered from her goal of becoming a teacher. Her decision to attend St. Mary’s College in Moraga was initially about the school’s proximity to home and a nice scholarship package. Turning into the driveway for the very first time, she had an unexpected feeling of being home that was life-changing. Like our Founder, she feels that she was led “in an imperceptible way and over a long period of time so that one commitment led to another in a way that [she] did not foresee in the beginning.”

During an intensive study of Lasallian pedagogy in her second year at the Buttimer Institute of Lasallian Studies, she began to ask deeper question of “now what” when it came to the mission. It was not only an aha moment of how truly big the worldwide Lasallian mission is, but also a powerful realization that people throughout the world were grappling with similar questions of how to model and put into practice the Lasallian core tenet, “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve,” for the students entrusted to our care. The Lasallian mission has been the guiding influence in her life ever since.

Andy Bettencourt ’02 – Coach and Avid Listener Until Andy Bettencourt’s dad swung by Justin-Siena one afternoon to pick up admissions materials, Andy had every intention of joining his friends at a local public high school. He respected his parents for their hardworking, loyal, and loving qualities. Not until later did he really understand the sacrifice it took for them to send him here. He remains forever grateful.

Andy returned to Justin-Siena in 2005 as a freshman basketball coach. He currently holds several positions on campus including Assistant Athletic Director and Varsity Girls Basketball Coach.

He relishes his role as Coordinator of Alumni Relations, and the privilege of hearing great stories of the impact Justin-Siena has had on alumni.

Although not in the classroom, Andy takes his role of touching hearts and minds seriously. When a student drops by his office, he halts whatever he is doing to be completely present to them.

Every interaction is meaningful. Andy admits the school environment keeps him young. He loves the silly, joyful moments when he joins his team’s impromptu dances at the end of practice, or starts a game of kickball during lunch.

Andy fondly recalls several staff from his own time at Justin-Siena. Former teacher Dr. Marshall Foletta, instilled in him a love for history that led to his college major. Peyton Fatheree’s leadership example and the lessons taught on and off the field by his JV football coach Ian MacMillian, have stayed with him for nearly 20 years.

The ALLHEART motto came about well after Andy graduated in 2002. He values how it pertains to every aspect of being a Brave. He believes the spirit of ALLHEART encourages students to dig deep within themselves to create a continually evolving positive identity in much the same way that Andy’s love of Justin-Siena continues to unfold.

A FAMILIAR NAME. A LASTING LEGACY. Cynthia Paniagua ’72

For many decades, Justin-Siena students have been greeted by a Ms. Paniagua.

The name is synonymous with the sniffing out of stories that defy even the best dog-ate-my-homework defense. The position has evolved for almost 56 years, all the while defined by their legacy of a quick wit and strict attention to detail, starting with her mother Kay in 1966, and continuing with Cynthia.

We recently sat down with Cynthia Paniagua to reflect on her incredible 26+ year career as Justin-Siena’s Attendance Officer. The conversation began with Hana Duhig ’22, one of her student TAs. Cynthia Paniagua ’72

Hana explained, “I transferred to Justin-Siena so I came in with a blank slate, quickly realizing that Ms. Paniagua is strict but “on it,” and that the school would probably fall apart without her. She is really funny, like when she tells students they shouldn’t ever try to sneak out because there are sensors under the parking lot.” Hana goes on to give two pieces of advice to fellow students: get to school on time, and make sure your parent sends an email by 9:00 am if you are late or have an appointment. Ms. Paniagua would completely agree!

1 3 FA L L 2 0 2 1

What does “students entrusted to our care” mean to you?

Everything - caring for each student as an individual. I want to help them grow into their best selves and to be accountable because the world won’t always be easy.

How would you describe your position?

Triage (chuckling). Of course there are set duties. Every day is the same and yet very different.

What is your favorite part of the job?

The daily interaction with the students and how I am so busy that the day flies by.

You were a student at Justin-Siena: what are some of the differences?

Nuns and Brothers were our teachers and many classes weren’t coed. The dress code didn’t allow girls to wear pants until my sophomore year, and then they were gray and itchy wool.

How would you like to be remembered by the students?

I hope they remember me with a smile and as someone who cared.

What phrase do you say often?

“Um is not a word” (thank you Judge Judy for that one).

The original Ms. Paniagua, Kay

Anything you would change about the last 26+ years?

I wouldn’t change a thing about my job. It has been the best job because I get to interact with every student at some point during their time here. I was so touched to be given the Br. Lawrence Award in 2008 and 2018 (this award recognizes an employee who exemplifies the ideals of our mission through their work and interactions with students and staff).

What is something that would surprise the students to know about you?

As a student, I probably led the school in dress code violations. It means that I know every trick and excuse!

Do you recall specific teachers/staff who impacted you as a student? #1 is Dan Clark. He was so patient. Kids loved him and we knew he cared. He had control over his class although I would call it quiet chaos.

There have also been so many great people that I have worked with over the years. I can’t name all of them, but a few who immediately come to mind are Adolfo Guevara, Noel Hesser, Steve Meyer, Bob Bailey, Lauren Hesser, Alma Gallegos, Jamie Powell, and the other “lifers” like me, Georgine Clarke and Jeff Chappell, and especially my office friends, Debbie Skillings and Silvia Villalobos.

Are you making plans for your eventual retirement?

I am looking forward to spending more time with my son, Christopher ’03, and daughter, Cara ’06, and of course riding my horse and hanging out with my dog. It will be a quieter life than my husband, Gregg ’73, and I envisioned before he passed from cancer last January.

My parents taught me that it doesn’t require a lot to be happy. I have been incredibly fortunate in my career and in my life. I am sincerely blessed!

“Cynthia is the tireless and true bloodline of our school. She cares deeply for all of the students, more than they realize. She can seem very tough when enforcing policies, but everything she does comes from an unswerving belief that what we do is for the benefit of the students. They are the reason she comes to work everyday.” – Mrs. Lauren Hesser, Dean of Students

CHARTING A COURSE Justice Faustina ’22 An interview by Katie Heffernan ’22 Secretary, National Art Honors Society

What does art mean to you?

To me art means expression of emotions, expression of one’s self, expression of the world around us, and much more.

How and why do you express yourself through art?

Through art I give others a view of the world through my eyes and express the feelings that I experience in nature. I am able to display my true self, subconsciously, through my work.

Why do you think it is important to have artists among us?

Artists are vital to a community. Art brings people together, instilling a sense of connection in the viewers, the arts, and others. Art exposes people to new ideas and motivates them to look at things from new perspectives.

Why do you like art?

I enjoy the process of creating art.

Watching a canvas transform from a blank slate to a complete image brings me joy. Noticing how each detail adds to the entire piece makes me recognize the little things that mean so much to me in my own life.

What are your goals for the future?

My artistic goals are to explore and experiment with my art style. I would like to continue to portray my local landscape and show its beauty, uniqueness, and immense variety.

If you haven’t met Jonas Gonzales by now, you have certainly seen his work. Starting in the fall of 2019, with his “Tour of Justin-Siena” video that was viewed over 8,000 times on social media, Jonas and Justin-Siena have embarked on a symbiotic relationship that has unmistakably moved the school forward by establishing a stout digital presence. His work has covered our “Meeting the Moment,” faculty and staff hybrid teaching tech tips, the joy of Advent, Crab Fest auction lots, athletics hype videos, the primary cinematography for the spring musical turned movie, “Working,” an entry into the District wide series, “Quaranteen Voices,” and “Delayed is not Denied,” a documentary in webisode series where he took the lead for current students to share the story of COVID’s impact on athletics.

It was a bit of happenstance that led Jonas and Justin-Siena to this deeply rooted partnership.

Jonas was in an SAT Prep class proctored by Coach Tayson (Director of Communications and Varsity Baseball Head Coach). He casually mentioned his interest in film - at the same time Coach Tayson was working with a professional on an admissions video. Coach connected the two, which led to Jonas tagging along on projects and subsequently more professional opportunities.

As a young alumnus, why are you so committed to keeping a connection to Justin-Siena and Lasallian education?

Justin-Siena opened many doors and opportunities for me. I want to give back to my alma mater and work to improve my skills and perfect my craft. If I can inspire future students into simply picking up a camera, it would make me happy.

How has Justin-Siena helped you move forward? What have you learned through this partnership?

Justin-Siena helped me support and fuel my passion. By providing me with projects, work experience, and connections, they enabled me to grow as a filmmaker and a person. I have learned how to manage and build my own business, and to become entrepreneurial.

What’s next for you?

I plan to pursue a degree in film production at a college in southern California. Whether I am filming for Disney, or shooting highlight videos for the NFL, I will always be a Brave.

Caden Parlett ’22 – Football, Track & Field 1st Team All-VVAL Football (2021) What has it meant to you to be a student-athlete at JS? JS athletics provided me with some of my best memories. The relationships I formed playing sports, whether with friends or coaches, will carry on long after I graduate.

How has that prepared you for life after JS? I have been taught what discipline, commitment to team, and respect for others mean. Our coaches always tell us, while they want us to win and have fun, it is most important to become great men.

Being a JS football player definitely helped us all get closer to becoming great men after high school.

What is your most memorable athletic moment at JS? My favorite athletic moment was beating American Canyon my sophomore year on varsity when we came into the game as big underdogs.

What do you want to accomplish in your final year at JS? The ultimate goal for my last year is to win both the football NCS championship and the 4x100 track championship.

Our goal is to set the school record.

Who’s been your biggest influence?

On the field? Off the field?

My dad has been my biggest influence my entire life on and off of the field. Since a young age, I have strived to be like my father as a man and as a football player.

What has it meant to you to be a JS student-athlete?

Being a student-athlete at JS allowed me so many opportunities to meet different types of people and form bonds with them. Being able to succeed in and out of the classroom with the support of my teachers, coaches, teammates, and classmates is something I’m so grateful for.

How has it prepared you for life after JS? I’m confident that my time in the JS sports program instilled in me strong time management skills and a dedication to my Braves family. I hope to carry over attributes of hard work, heartfelt connections, and a growth mindset.

What is your most memorable athletic moment?

My most memorable athletic moment is two-fold because it happened twice: winning Volleyball VVAL in 2019 and 2021. Two completely different teams, two completely different seasons, two completely different championships, but both so special to me.

Winning league my freshman and senior years is the most amazing full circle moment that will always hold an extraordinary place in my heart.

What do you want to accomplish in your final year?

In addition to going as far as we can in volleyball playoffs, I have a goal to win a league softball game or two as well. I want to continue to solidify the connections I have within teams on campus, work together, and stay positive.

Who has been your biggest influence? On the field?

Off the field?

I’ve had many influences in my life that impacted me as a student, athlete, and person. As early as freshman year on varsity volleyball, the team captains instilled in me a sense of community, and the coaches continue to be among my biggest supporters. My softball teammates over the years have also been indispensable as friends; my time with them always makes me smile.

VAPARTS It’s been a long time, but theatre is finally back.

This fall, Justin-Siena produced the docu-drama 110 Stories, our first live production since March 2020. This was an emotional weekend of theatre for the performers, not just because we were telling the story of September 11, but because we were live. We were together, in community. It was the first time we had heard applause or laughter or even people unwrapping cough drops. It was wonderful to be together, even with masks, Covid testing, and distancing.

Everyone knows the last year and a half have been tough, but perhaps not everyone has thought about how much they depended on artists as a lifeline to normalcy. Where would we have been without streamed performances? How would we have processed our isolation? How would we have managed to connect? Last year, we did eight productions online, including a stand-up comedy night, an improv show, and a filmed musical. We have never before produced that many events in a year (one per month). Why did we do this? Because the students needed it. The audience needed it.

What have audiences missed?

The excitement of seeing a show for the first time The surprise of a new performer knocking it out of the park The sound of applause The ability of theatre to transcend a moment, to teach us something new, to bring us together

And the students?

The self-confidence and self-esteem The cooperation and collaboration The focus and concentration The stress relief and joy of creating The social awareness If ever our world needed arts, it’s now. It asks us to examine ourselves and our world. It demands we listen to other points of view. Theatre promotes social discourse, dialogue, and social change. Art models for us the kind of discourse that lies at the heart of our democracy—to listen, to hear different sides of the story, to put ourselves in the place of others. It demands we be better.

Scratching the Surface

3 5 FA L L 2 0 2 1

Often the justification for the arts in schools is a “well-rounded education.” But the truth is that all of the arts (choir, dance, film, instrumental music, theatre, and visual arts) offer students a skill set that is vital and necessary to participate in the modern world. The pandemic required that students use their “superpowers” to dissect the moment and help move themselves and us forward. It was a real-world test that proved that the arts are not merely an “elective,” but an essential part of education for the 21st century.

Teach by Day. Rock by Night.

There is another side of faculty we don’t often get to see. This past fall, during Homecoming, several of our educators brought their hidden talents to the stage. They lip-synced to Guns ’n Roses, Masked Wolf, and Vanilla Ice. The perfomances were captivating and energetic, to say the least. And since masks were required... they could make as many mistakes as needed.

WESERVE The mission of Justin-Siena has long been to build students who “serve and lead in an ever changing world.” As educators in this challenging environment, it has never been more readily apparent just how needed this experience is for young people. To serve, however, should be more than a one-off event.

Serving must be ingrained in our culture. To this end, Justin-Siena has embarked on service initiatives that reflect our Strategic Plan, which calls our school to “build significant and ongoing service opportunities through the community.”

As part of our faculty and staff retreat, each of our educators took part in a choose your own adventure day of service. Whether it was gardening with our senior living community neighbors, clearing out trails of invasive species, organizing donated goods for homeless shelters, our outreach team made sure that we used this time in the spirit of service.

In our Advisory groups, over 30 “Welcome Home Kits” were gathered and assembled for families transitioning from homelessness to stable housing.

Our highly successful fall sports teams have taken on various projects, most notably our Volleyball program partnered with Sacred Heart Cathedral to bring back the “Serve It Up Classic” for a day of service and competition.

To culminate our efforts this fall, we partnered with budding league rival Vintage High School for a “Unite for the Night” football game. With the goal of raising mental health awareness in our community, the Alaina’s Voice Foundation brought our two schools together, raising more than $2,000 by selling hundreds of t-shirts to honor Alaina Housley, a victim in the Thousand Oaks shooting. Fans from both sides dressed in camo in honor of Addie Dominici (daughter of Justin-Siena Director of Outreach, Megan ’92), who passed away in a tragic accident in 2019. Kashin Adams ’25 was inspired to see so many people step up to serve and particiapte that evening. He noted that, “everyone put the school rivalry aside for a night to come together as a community.”

Impacting diversity through philanthropy The Gonzales Family For many of us, the story of coming to the United States is one of opportunity and sacrifice. We all know families whose journeys began with parents or grandparents coming to this country, and the Bay Area especially, to make a new life and to live the American Dream. Eric and Amparo Gonzales’s story is one of many who persevered and capitalized on their education to build a family and better their communities.

Eric, born and raised in Vallejo, was a student-athlete with big dreams of playing football in college. Amparo spent her childhood in Fairfield after emigrating to the Bay Area with her parents from the Philippines. Both Eric and Amparo attended public schools and would be the first in their families to attend college, before they met at Solano Community College where Eric was studying business and playing football. If he hadn’t broken his ankle, life would have turned out very differently. This injury was a turning point and instead of relying on athletics, Eric turned towards academics. With his father’s GI benefits, he transferred to UC Davis to finish his degree in Managerial and Agricultural Economics. After graduating, Eric & Amparo were married at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Napa.

The newlyweds bought their first home in Green Valley and soon after, their children, Jonas ’20, Nina ’23, and Jace Frank Gutierrez Photography 4 5 FA L L 2 0 2 1

were born. They became attracted to Justin-Siena after shadowing on a “Brave for a Day.” As they met with faculty, staff, parents, and students, it became clear that Justin-Siena could provide something special - a campus community that truly sees, knows, and loves their students.

While Jonas acclimated to high school, Eric and Amparo were embraced by the parent and volunteer community at JustinSiena. They became parent ambassadors, and ultimately, Eric was invited to be an inaugural member and Chair of the JustinSiena Parent Association (J-SPA). The more they invested in Justin-Siena, the more Eric and Amparo literally gave of themselves.

Moving DISP Forward

The Gonzales family’s generosity launched the Justin-Siena’s Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship Program (DISP). As the founding sponsors, the Gonzales family’s support of Justin-Siena’s ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts will change lives in Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties. With an inaugural cohort of seven Justin-Siena students this fall, Eric’s nearly 25 year professional career in wealth management will provide mentorship and job shadowing opportunities. Long term, the goal is to attract more businesses and families as DISP sponsors who share the same passion for diversity and philanthropy as the Gonzales family.

Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship Program

The Program’s mission is to provide these students with access to a Lasallian education and to build the social and human capital within each student to succeed and give back to the community at large. The Diversity &

Inclusion Scholarship includes an annual award of up to $2,500 to offset the student’s tuition at Justin-Siena.

Recognizing the transformative power that Justin-Siena was having on their children, and following over a year of planning, the Gonzales family’s generosity launched the Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship Program (DISP) aimed at ensuring a diverse student body that is representative of our region.

“Ultimately, this scholarship will contribute to Justin-Siena having an even more diverse student body, reflecting the changing demographics of the counties we serve,’’ affirmed Alicia Valdivia, Director of Admissions.

For more information contact:

Andrea A. Flores Director of Philanthropy aflores@justin-siena.org (707) 255-0950 Ext.610

Justin-Siena’s Core Principles and its current Strategic Plan call for the promotion of an inclusive community that provides access to students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicities. Simply stated, DISP activates our core mission and purpose. Eric shared, “As the son of Filipino immigrants who only became naturalized because of my father’s service in the US Army, I know the impact that race, ethnicity, and heritage can have on educational and economic opportunities. I was raised to see my diversity as a strength. It is what propelled me through school to become the first in my family to go to college here in the United States.”

Supporting Justin-Siena Haitelenisia “Sia” and Vaea Anitoni If you attended Justin-Siena football or volleyball games in the last decade, you likely heard the cheers of JustinSiena superfans Vaea and Sia Anitoni accompanied by the sound of a very loud homemade shaker. The Anitonis, parents to Naufahu ’15, Maryanne ’18, and Solomone ’20, have been ardent supporters of Justin-Siena, recognizing the transformative impact that teachers, coaches, counselors, and administrators made on the lives of their children.

For the last 11 years, even after their children graduated from Justin-Siena, Vaea and Sia have found ways to contribute to their children’s alma mater. Sia shared, “We strongly believe in giving back to the community and Justin-Siena has done a lot for our family so whatever we can do to give back to the school hopefully makes a difference in another student’s life. Experiencing the generosity of Justin-Siena’s donors and seeing firsthand how giving benefitted families like ours motivates us to continue to contribute to the Justin-Siena Fund and other school needs. It’s our gift of appreciation for everything the school has done while encouraging our children to continue to support the school in whatever ways they can.” For the Anitonis, the motto “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve” continues to ring true.

Supporting Justin-Siena Jennifer Drexler Madden ’90 & Rick Madden ’88 Anyone who spent time at Justin-Siena in the eighties and nineties recognizes the name Alex H. Urban. A lifelong educator who chaired Justin-Siena’s Fine Arts Department, Alex was a tour de force here at Justin-Siena and in the non-profit children’s theatre organization he founded. Though his time at Justin-Siena spanned just over a decade, his impact in the hearts, minds, and futures of his students was indelible.

Following Alex’s death in 2007, former students Jennifer Drexler Madden ’90 and Rick Madden ’88 memorialized his life and the mark he made on their lives with the creation of the Alex H. Urban Scholarship Fund.

Jennifer and Rick, who now live in Pasadena with their sons Luke (16) and Hunter (13), shared this reflection on Alex’s legacy, “Mr. Urban always thought big and demanded a level of commitment and performance that was a challenge to his students. As an example, when Rick was a freshman at Justin-Siena, the musical Barnum was performed in a circus big top complete with acrobats and a real elephant making an appearance at each performance. However, Mr. Urban’s real impact was in encouraging students to recognize their own unlimited potential and to focus that into achieving their goals. Whether it was helping you to discover a future or giving you the opportunity to shine a little brighter in the present, he had a knack for giving you the encouragement or kick in the pants you needed.”

It is Jennifer and Rick’s hope that the Alex H. Urban Scholarship will enable “students to see that the lessons to be learned in the performing arts are less about the notes or the dance steps and more about finding their own expression and voice.”

Impact the Future of Justin-Siena with a Planned Gift Did you know you can provide Justin-Siena with a much larger gift than you may have previously considered? As most fundraising activities focus on traditional annual giving programs such as parent pledges, annual commitments, or other voluntary contributions, Justin-Siena’s Legacy Circle focuses on deferred or long-term giving in which the donor receives benefits in addition to the tax deduction that accompanies an annual gift.

A planned gift to Justin-Siena could allow you to obtain some or all of the following benefits: • Fulfill your philanthropic goals • Reap income tax savings through charitable deductions for the value of your gifts • Avoid capital gains 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 • 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. Naming Justin-Siena as a beneficiary in your life insurance and retirement plan assets, or making a gift of appreciated marketable stocks, are other ways to make a lasting impact through your philanthropy.

Please contact Andrea Flores, Director of Philanthropy at 707.255.0950 ext. 610, or aflores@justin-siena.org, for more information or to indicate whether you have already included Justin-Siena in your estate.

Supporting Justin-Siena Dianna and Scott Messenger At Justin-Siena, philanthropy is more than just giving; it means sharing your time, talent, and treasure. Dianna and Scott Messenger, parents to Emery ’23, embody this philanthropic spirit through their financial support of causes they value at Justin-Siena, and through contributions of time and talent with our Advancement efforts. For the last three years, Dianna Messenger has been a key partner in our efforts to grow our Braves Alliance sponsorships while identifying underwriters for our annual Crab Fest. This year alone, Dianna, with Andrew Bettencourt ’02, Coordinator of Alumni Relations, doubled the number of Braves Alliance sponsors, raising nearly $100,000 for co-curricular programs.

Dianna and Scott explain, “Ever since our children were born, we have tried to find ways to volunteerat their schools or with their extracurricular activities. We have always enjoyed fundraising, so volunteering and using our skill set to help, gives us a great feeling of satisfaction. The Justin-Siena community has been so warm and welcoming; it’s been nice to get to know some of the faculty and staff who play significant roles in our daughter’s high school experience.”

Thank you, Messenger family for all you do to embrace our ALLHEART spirit.
