If you didn't get a ticket to Yulefest, which is now sold out, take heart: You can still be part of this La Salle tradition. There's lots to do, from making the signature meatballs (see above) to pouring wine the night of the event. Some of the volunteer roles include:
- Registration: Check in guests. Approximately 5:15 pm - 7:30 pm
- Bartender: Sell sodas and water at the non-alcoholic bar. There are usually two shifts: approximately 5:30 -8 pm or 8 pm - 11 pm
- Wine Pourer: Pour wine and process sales at winery stations. Approximately 5 pm - 8:30 pm.
- Will Call Runner: When wine is purchased at winery tables, runners collect the bottles and bring them to the Will Call area where guests pick it up for dinner or to take home. Approximately 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
- Will Call Attendant: Organize bottles by name and distribute to guests picking up. Two shifts, approximately 6 pm - 8:30 or 8:30 pm - 11 pm

Bake Sale will raise money for justice
The Youth Ending Slavery club will hold a bake sale Monday, Nov. 20, and Tuesday, Nov. 21, before school in the main hallway and during both lunches in the cafeteria. All proceeds will be donated to Door to Grace, a Christian nonprofit that supports victims of sex trafficking in Portland. The club wants to support Door to Grace because its values align with La Salle's core values, said Amira Tripp Folsom '20. "We hope to raise as much as possible," she said.

 Connecting the dots in class
Students in Peter Snow’s AP World History class show the correlation between current event topics and significant historical events by presenting recent news stories and connecting them to the AP curriculum.
Students then worked in groups to dissect an article that discusses the continuity and change of historical eras. Lastly, students recited a song used in helping remember the various Chinese dynasties.

Your Generosity, Our Responsibility
The season of giving is quickly coming upon us. Between now and Christmas, it is possible that many of you will be making end-of-year donations to your favorite charities.
We recognize that many “asks” from La Salle and others over a short time frame is a challenge even to the most generous of souls. Each family has its own best time and best way to give. Knowing people want to align their giving to La Salle in different ways, we provide many opportunities throughout the year, yet Christmastime proves to be a time for giving for many, and we are grateful recipients of your generosity.
Our goal and our responsibility is to make giving to La Salle a joyful experience. To that end, we provide you with an overview of upcoming events, drives, and appeals that soon will take place at La Salle to help you achieve your personal giving objectives.

Are You a Match?
Attention Nike employees - Nike will double match your contribution to La Salle if you designate money for sports or fitness. You can turn a $100 gift into a $300 gift instantly, for example. All other gifts will be matched by Nike 1:1.
Many companies match charitable donations. We invite alumni, parents, and friends to seek these additional funds, stretching the financial impact of a donation.
The process is easy. Your company’s HR Director will supply you with the form you need to double – and in some cases triple – your donation.
Nike, PCC, Nordstrom, Intel, Wells Fargo, The Standard, and Hanna Andersson are just a few of the companies that will bolster your investment in La Salle.
