On July 20th-24th CBA students Jaleel Barnwell, Ruby Damato, Ashlynn Johnston, Nick Menar, Payton Perry & Kat Riccelli along with Mrs. Major and Mr. Dopkowski, traveled to Huntington, NY for the Ultreia Student Leadership Retreat, sponsored by the District of Easterm North America. Our students joined 50 other students from 11 other Lasallian schools in our district to draw closer to God, their larger Lasallian family and to grow as Lasallian Leaders💜

Bridge 2 Brothers is off to a great start in its sixth summer on Randall Road! Fifth and sixth grade students from Syracuse City School District are gathering each day to spend time engaging in fun science experiments, math games, reading, writing and the arts. The students are taught by CBA teachers and led by CBA students serving as volunteer counselors.

The students enjoyed field trips to pick blueberries at Critz Farms, and hiking at Clark's Reservation. Chanu Yang '27 launched the Bridge 2 Baseline program, providing free tennis lessons for the students. The B2B strings program has continued under the leadership of Eric Lee '26 and Christian Lee '28.

Guest speakers shared their wisdom with our students, including our own teachers Roberto Perez, Pat Wiese, and Zac Schrecengost, and alumni Bruce Williams. Alumni Grey Blake '22 has returned to B2B to to teach the students how to write and compose their own musical theater production.

Our second week of B2B brought the opportunity to build and launch their own rockets. In PE, the students formed teams and held a world cup tournament, with a thrilling conclusion in which the USA was triumphant over Norway in penalty kicks.

On Monday, July 6, CBA students Abby Sturgen, Maya White-Dudhani, Nico Lay, Rayna Reed, and Frazier Lavender traveled to Camden, NJ for a mission trip led by the incredible staff at Romero Center Ministries. Accompanied by Campus Minister Mrs. Landers and 11/12th Grade Counselor Mr. Wittman, the group served at various non-profits in the Camden area where they assisted in efforts to help the poor and vulnerable.

Overall, the experience offered valuable life lessons on charity, justice, and the importance of community. We look forward to hearing their personal testimonies when they return to school this fall!

The Alumni Association's annual "School's Out" Golf Outing was another tremendous success, as more than 150 golfers gathered at Tuscarora Golf Club on June 29 for a day of great golf, camaraderie, and CBA spirit.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this year's outing such a memorable event. Your support continues to strengthen our alumni community and make this tradition one to look forward to each year.

Mark your calendars now for next year's "School's Out" Golf Outing on June 28. We can't wait to welcome everyone back to the course for another great day!

This morning Susan Major, Vice President of Mission and Ministry, and Chris Dopkowski, Vice Principal for Student Affairs, headed to Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington, NY with students Jaleel Barnwell, Payton Perry, Nick Menar, Ashlynn Johnston, Ruby Damato and Katrina Riccelli for The Lasallian District of Eastern North America Ultreia 2026: Lasallian Student Leaders Retreat.

With the theme “Go Further Together: In Faith, Service, and Community,” Ultreia will gather high school student leaders from across the District for a week of formation, prayer, reflection, community-building, and leadership development. The word Ultreia comes from a pilgrim’s call meaning “go further,” expressing perseverance, forward movement, and support along a shared journey.

Safe travels and have fun everyone!!
