AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018-2019

The Mission of La Salle Academy
The mission of La Salle Academy, a rigorous college-preparatory high
school, is to educate students of diverse cultural and socioeconomic
backgrounds with special outreach to those most in need. We provide
a nurturing environment, which fosters spiritual, moral, intellectual,
emotional and physical growth in the Roman Catholic tradition and the
Lasallian spirit, as embodied in St. John Baptist de La Salle.
We create experiences of community within the school and encourage
each student to develop their gifts and talents for their own growth,
as well as engage in the caring service of others, through its academic,
extra-curricular and spiritual programs.

Fall 2018
Dear Student and Families of La Salle Academy,
It is my great pleasure and honor to present to you the La Salle @2:30 booklet for the 2018-19
Academic Year. This booklet is your guide to all things “after-school” at La Salle Academy for
the year. Your Lasallian experience in education, spirituality, service, and learning does not
end at the “bell” but continues well after! Lasallian men have always been well-rounded men
of the world – young men who were equally as comfortable in the classroom as they were on
the field, in the world and with a multitude of experiences under their belts. I implore you to
take advantage of EVERYTHING we have to offer. Each different experience will be a tool in
your tool belt of life – helpful on college applications, in experiential knowledge, and to your
overall academic excellence. Skill sets lie leadership, time management, project development
and finding your “favorite things” are all found in the “joining.”
You will find opportunities in athletics, in leadership, and in five after-school resource centers
in academics, math, science, tech and writing…and so much more! You will have oppor-
tunities to join the Cardinal – our Student Newspaper, the Yearbook, and our Cardinal 20
Ambassadors’ Team. We have a Band, a Green Team, our Ministry Team, a Debate Team, our
Cooper Union Inventor Team, and even the Federal Reserve Challenge. There is a Billiards
Club, Chess Club, French Club and Spanish Club, and well…the list goes on.
What are you going to be when you grow up? That is the question – and perhaps one of these
experiences will help you to find out!
GO FOR IT!
Sincerely,
Catherine Guerriero, Ph.D., M.P.A.
President, La Salle Academy

Academic Resource Center
The Academic Resource Center is available to any student who is struggling
academically, needs additional instruction or more study time. Alongside
our three focused tutoring centers, this resource room is aimed at helping
students improve their overall academic performance. Students will have the
opportunity to have a one-on-one session with a teacher, who will provide
assistance in their school work to help boost grades and pass exams.

Band
The La Salle Academy Band was the oldest extra-curricular activity at
our school. It played at pro-union and anti-slavery rallies during the Civil
War. In September 2016, the band was revived after a 29-year hiatus. The
band marches up 5th Avenue in the famed New York City St. Patrick’s
Day Parade, the African American Parade and will lead the San Gennaro
Festival Parade in September 2017. The band is open to all students, even
those who never learned how to read music or play an instrument.

Billiards Club
The Billiards Club gives students who are interested in the classic game of
Billiards a chance to play. Whether a beginner or an expert, students can come
out and join others who share a similar interest in the sport. It is also a great
way to see math and physics in action. The Billiards Club meets once a week at
the Amsterdam Billiards Club located at 110 East 11th Street, New York, NY.

Blog Club
Are you interested in creative writing, blogging, and food? This year,
in the Blog Club, students will create an individual blog and writing
portfolio, visit amazing restaurants in the neighborhood, interview chefs
and owners, and sample culturally diverse food! From those visits, we will
reflect and write interesting reviews, stories, articles, post videos, pictures,
animations, and participate in a “Master Blogging Competition.”
