WHAT'S BRUIN...
Virtue of the Month - Generosity
December's Virtue of the Month is Generosity, a virtue so appropriate for this season of Advent and Christmas. Too often the focus of this season seems to be on receiving, but it is in giving that we find true happiness. Check out the links below for ways to encourage generosity in your children this month:
Pajama Drive
Student Council Canned Food Drive
TEACHER FEATURE
Roland Weaver - Athletics
Mr. Weaver and his wife have one child. Their daughter is currently a sophomore at the University of North Texas. In his "free" time, he likes to spend time with his family, sports, traveling, and coaching. Coach Weaver and his family are members of Good Shepherd Parish. They are very blessed to be a part of both the St. Bernard and Good Shepherd communities.
“The reason I love being a part of the St. Bernard community is because it is like my second family. Here at St. Bernard we have great supportive families, students, teachers/staff, and Church staff. I am honored to be a part of the St. Bernard family and believe that Catholic school education is an important part of a student's growth.”
FUN FACTS:
What is your dream vacation? And who would you take with you?
My dream vacation would be to visit Rome. While in Rome I would like to visit Vatican City and the other holy sites. On my dream vacation I would take my wife and daughter.
What is your favorite book or movie and why?
My favorite movie would have to be Good Will Hunting because it has a great story. It showed how brilliance can come from the most unlikely places.
Are you a dog or cat person? What are your pets’ names, if any?
For many years my answer would have been that I am a DOG person, but recently a CAT adopted our family. So, I guess I’m just an animal lover. Our dog’s name is Twinkie and our cat’s name is Pepper.
What famous person would you like to meet some day?
The famous person I would like to meet some day would be President Barack Obama.
