“Before, the halls of La Salle were full of chat

“Before, the halls of La Salle were full of chatter, with giggles among friends, loudly shouted questions about assignments in classes, and greetings bouncing from hallway to hallway as friends and teachers wave at each other while passing by. Now, it’s eerily quiet,” Senior Editors Dakota Canzano and Brooklyn Chillemi write alongside their video published on Nov. 18.

The Falconer interviewed six students and collected footage of student life from previous years at La Salle, contrasting it with new footage of what school looks like now, creating a video that commemorates what students have learned during this time.

On Nov. 19 from 2 p.m to 6 p.m., the La Salle community came together for a Lasallian Day of Giving. Multiple donation drives were collecting items — such as groceries for Lot Whitcomb, toiletries for St. Rita’s Church, and sack lunches for Portland homeless — which were all gathered before next week’s Thanksgiving break.

Student Council members volunteered to help collect all of the items, and students dropped off notes of appreciation for teachers and staff members.

Over 150 people logged into Zoom today to attend a webinar about how COVID-19 is affecting those who are incarcerated.

This is the second virtual social justice panel that La Salle’s Director of Service, Ms. Sarah Maher, has hosted with the help of several student leaders and panelists.

Four panelists spoke at the event, including Sing Sing Prison Educator Ms. Kimberly Williams Malone, Ms. Linda Showman from the Office of Prison Military With The Archdiocese of PDX, Ms. Alice Lundell from the Oregon Justice Resource Center, and Ms. Anna Debenham from The Insight Alliance.

These four panelists were interviewed by seniors Dakota Canzano, MaryGrace Mott, and Anthony Nguyen, as well as junior Natalie Calvillo-Ruelas.

The audience was filled with students, staff members, and parents who asked questions in a Q&A format.

Now that the construction is finished in the recen

Now that the construction is finished in the recently renovated weight room for the Saalfeld Athletic Center, athletes have been slowly getting back to working out with COVID-19 guidelines in place, although campus visits are currently on pause.

Senior James Menor has really enjoyed “getting back into the grind with my teammates,” he said. “It’s just been so long and I know all of us are very eager to get back to the Friday night lights.”

The La Salle football team officially starts their season in Feb. 2021.

Menor said that he remembers as a freshman, “being in the presence of seniors scared me.” But as a senior now, he wants to make sure the underclassmen feel comfortable and have the support they need.

“Something as simple as saying ‘hi’ to them or teaching them certain techniques helps break down that barrier,” Menor said. “Being that I am a senior I want to make sure that they are all comfortable with us and I feel like we have already built a bond with them.”
