Welcome anyone

who is interested in Christian Brothers High School. This blog started as a project for professional development but now it is evolving into a way to stay connected with other independent school librarians. We are 9-12 and all boys. Although we are identified as a college prep school, our mission in the spirit of the founder of our schools, St. John Baptist De La Salle, is to provide the best education we can to any young man who wants to become a part of our community. Our student body is diverse both economically and racially. the Brothers have been in Memphis since 1871 and have a strong presence in this area. the challenge right now is to find a balance between traditional education and the lure of technology. We are trying not to "throw the baby out with the bath water." Welcome to the blog!

Lasallian Brand

Interesting concept being presented to the US/Toronto Region. I think this is in preperation for the evolution of the Lasallian institutions as more lay people become leaders. It is a nebulous idea as far as I'm concerned but I guess when the focus group meets here, I will get a better picture of what is going on. So for right now, "St John Baptist de la Salle pray for us!

Getting ready

for 2010. This will be an intersting year...wedding coming up with all the excitement attached to it. I hope the year beings us all good things.

Ho, ho, ho

We are into the countdown before Christmas. What have I done, so far? Nothing substantial. Feeling very Grinchy. Former student died after a seizure; wife of a good friend diagnosed with liver cancer; children a little huffy about Christmas plans...I feel old.

Electronic Resources

We have gotten 5 schools from the MASLIC group to commit to buying the Gale packaage of ebooks and 1 database. This is really a good thing because it moves us forward in our effort to enlarge our tech offerings. But I still am concerned...What if someone trips over that great extension cord in the sky? As we move forward into the digital universe, I hope that we don't lose sight of the pleasure involved in turning the pages of a book.
