Bishop Canevin to Welcome Chinese International Students
The following letter was sent to all parents announcing the new initiative, beginning with the second semester.Office of the Principal
December 12, 2011
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Most of us are familiar with the song “It’s a Small World” popularized by The Walt Disney Company back in 1964. In today’s society with the speed of information, ease of transportation, instantaneous communication and impact on global cultures, those words were never truer. It is indeed “a small world after all.”
I am very pleased to inform you that the “smallness of our world” will come to Bishop Canevin this January through a partnership with the Holy Family Institute in Emsworth. Beginning the second semester, we will welcome several students from China who have enrolled at our school to complete their high school studies in an environment that will provide the rigorous academic requirements and broad co-curricular experiences important for the variety of college admissions requirements. Our administration and faculty are extremely pleased that they have chosen Bishop Canevin (among many other options) for their U.S. studies. Their participation and presence in our classrooms, hallways and activities will not only provide them with the rich experiences of American culture and customs, but will equally provide our students with the opportunity to learn, respect and experience the Chinese culture in this “small world” of ours. We believe that this cross-cultural experience can have many positive results for everyone at Bishop Canevin and beyond.
The students from China will reside at the renovated dormitories of Holy Family Institute, where they will be supervised in studies, English language skills and other social experiences. They will take a full load of classes, following all academic requirements like all of our students, while their families in China will take care of the financial responsibilities of full tuition, fees, room & board, as well as their necessary living expenses. Unlike a “foreign exchange” student, these young men and women will be fully enrolled at Bishop Canevin as transfer students on an F-1 visa, participating in the variety of experiences, activities and clubs that we offer our students, until their graduation from here.
As we prepare for the approximately 15 students (mostly sophomores) who will enroll in January, our administration, staff and Board of Directors will be working with teachers, students, and parents to welcome them and plan for their successful transition to Bishop Canevin. We will be forming a committee to coordinate these efforts in the very near future. Students and parents are welcome to assist in a variety of ways. There is much to be done in a short period of time. If interested, an email or letter from you would allow us to add you to the committee.
We look forward to this new and exciting opportunity which will enhance our mission to provide an outstanding Catholic education to the young men and women of Western Pennsylvania – and throughout our small world!
May the good Lord continue to bless your families throughout this Christmas season and the New Year ahead!
Sincerely,
Kenneth M. Sinagra
Principal

BC Baseball Gives
On Saturday, December 10, the Bishop Canevin Baseball Team made their second visit to the Ronald McDonald House, bringing much needed supplies, toys for the children and lunch for the families. This year, there were 60 families in residence at the House and the players and chaperones had the opportunity to visit with many family members and patients. Toys were distributed to all the patients and their siblings who came down to lunch. Some of the players even became waiters for the day, carrying trays of food to families' rooms who were unable to come to the lunch room. Many parents commented on how much this visit means to them and how grateful they are that there are people out there who care. One little boy stole the hearts of all - Shawn is a loving, sweet 4 year old who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He insisted on hugging everyone before he left! Please keep him and all the young patients and their families in your prayers this Christmas Season and always.

BC Band Families
Just as a reminder, there will be a meeting on Tuesday, December 13th, at 7:00pm in the band room to discuss the upcoming Mattress sale. This is a very easy fund raiser, but it can not happen without the support of the Marching Crusader family.
Our role is to support the company selling the top name brand mattresses. We are responsible for distributing sale signs and just promoting the sale. We will all learn more at the meeting on Tuesday.
We will need a parent or two to chair this event.
Please email Pam Palchowski ariverboater@aol.com if you have any questions."

New Bishop Canevin Nativity in Library
During the Christmas season, you are welcome to visit the Bishop Canevin Fr. Leo G. Henry Library & Media Research Center to see our beautiful creche. The 28 figures in the Nativity set were originally cast, painted and owned by Mr. Bruno Scuglia, former English teacher and librarian at Bishop Canevin High School. After donating the pieces to the school, he asked that they be repainted by art students. In 2009, members of the studio arts classes undertook the assignment. Mrs. Karen Kennedy, Bishop Canevin art teacher, oversaw the student work and did necessary repairs and final touch-up painting. We are so fortunate to have this lovely display in our library.
Congratulations Lady Crusaders!
CONGRATULATIONS
