Find Resurrection students quoted on ABCNews.com
Mike Malone's article: "Young People Cop to It:  Technology is Bad for Us, can be found on line at http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Economy/story?id=7590263&page=1.  This is a great article on the perspective of Resurrection School middle school students and how technology affects their lives.

Resurrection School is nationally recognized as "School of the Month" in "Today's Catholic Teacher" magazine.
The March 2009 issue of "Today's Catholic Teacher" Magazine highlights Resurrection School's community service outreach efforts, and in doing so, recognizes Resurrection School as a School of the Month. Many thanks to Mrs. Shukait, Mrs. Wright, and Mrs. Lovett for their contributions to this article.

Congrats to Alum Alex Noronha '07 and the Bellarmine World Affairs Challenge Team.  Alex teamed with 6 other students to compete in the World
Affairs Challenge, the largest academic event in San Francisco area.  Individually Alex took third place in the “Global Awareness Quiz,” first place in the collaborative question and, as a team, took 3rd best creative presentation, 1st best formal presentation, and the best high school team overall. The most interesting part of this whole thing is that this team was entirely student driven--no teacher involvement at all.  Click here for an article from the Bellarmine website:  http://www.bcp.org/news/detail.aspx?pageaction=ViewSinglePublic&LinkID=6400&
ModuleID=191&NEWSPID=1

                      

Congratulations to '07 Alum Sienna LaRocca and the St. Francis Mock Trial team.  St. Francis High School won the county mock trial and will travel down to Riverside for the state finals in March.  Sienna is the only sophomore on the team!

"Celebrating what's right with the world and working together towards peace and social justice"
This is our theme for the school year.  Not only are we "Celebrating what's right with the world" but "what's right with Resurrection School".  Tied to this are our continuing efforts to educate students about peace which begins right here at Resurrection and practicing social justice.

2008-2009 Annual Appeal  is taking place now
Together we can "Make A Difference".  With the support of our community, changes have taken place!  We have a new Math classroom for small group math instruction, we are at our highest enrollment in years, and we are living out our mission and P.E.A.C.E. student learning expectations every day.   All of this has been accomplished with the help of our families and supporting community.  Please consider a gift to Resurrection School - it has and will continue to make a significant difference in the lives of 295 students.  ON-LINE DONATIONS are available.

Our Community Outreach program is growing!
What began six years ago with 60 Thanksgiving lunches for InnVision has grown to 343 lunches with even more to come this year.  In November our 3rd - 8th graders (that's 190 students!) got together to make Thanksgiving cards, decorate lunch bags and fill them with a healthy lunch all in time for delivery before Thanksgiving, and then did the same for Valentine's Day! 

Have you seen the L.O.V.E. buckets in the classrooms?  These are used to collect a variety of items, whether it be Halloween costumes, canned foods, toiletry items, or socks.  What does L.O.V.E. stand for?  "Live Outreach Values Everyday."   This is the message and theme our students work towards as part of our outreach and community-minded efforts.   Click here for more information on our schoolwide outreach programs.

San Jose Magazine 2008 Educator of the Year - 
Dan Fernandez!

Dan Fernandez, physical education instructor and athletic director at Resurrection School in Sunnyvale, is dedicated to providing the best and most positive experience for children in the realm of physical education. His class is not just a P.E. class—it’s an education on taking care of yourself. For example, he gives homework to the older grades, focusing on healthy lifestyles and habits.

When it comes to maintaining and upgrading Resurrection’s athletic facilities, he is also tenacious. His co-workers say, “There is no obstacle he won’t attempt to hurdle.” He tirelessly worked to get the scoreboard working, to improve the 40-year-old gym with padding, and to raise money for new basketball backboards. He spends Saturdays cutting the grass in the baseball field and paints the outdoor bleachers and school buildings himself. He can be found at after-school games at Resurrection and meets outside of Resurrection.
