In the presence of Mr. George Nabber, Coordinator of the Fr\u00e8res Schools in the Holy Land and Jordan, Coll\u00e8ge des Fr\u00e8res \u2013 Bethlehem celebrated the graduation of a cohort of 27 teachers who successfully completed the Lasallian Formation Program under the theme:
\u201cFor Inner Transformation and Rooting in the Mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony began with inspiring words from the Lasallian Educator\u2019s Hall, where a reflective prayer was shared:
\u201cO Lord, grant me the spirit of discernment in my own conduct and that of my students, so that I may focus my work in the school on the child and on preparing them for life\u2014not on fame or performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his address, Mr. George Nabber emphasized the importance of this formation, stating:
\u201cEach one of us is a Fr\u00e8re, carrying the values, responsibility, and mission of the Lasallian spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School principal Ms. Ekhlas Bannoura expressed her gratitude to all attendees and affirmed that the continuity of the Lasallian mission for over 300 years is a living testament to the depth and truth of this educational faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lasallian committee overseeing the program included:
\u2022 Principal Ekhlas Bannoura
\u2022 Ms. Marlene Bandak
\u2022 Ms. Nibal Thaljieh
\u2022 Ms. Maha Sarras<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conclusion of the gathering, Ms. Marlene Bandak gave a thoughtful presentation on \u201cPersonal Transformation in the Life of Saint John Baptist de La Salle,\u201d focusing on the pivotal moment that changed his path: his deep understanding of poverty through his awareness of the needs of others, particularly the needs of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Ms. Maha Sarras, she emphasized that poverty is not limited to material aspects\u2014it extends to poverty in intellect, education, culture, and values, making Saint La Salle\u2019s mission a renewed call to meet these needs with compassion and educational purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certificates were then awarded to the graduates by:
\u2022 Mr. George Nabber
\u2022 Principal Ikhlas Bannoura
\u2022 and Ms. Marlene Bandak<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This celebration reflects the school\u2019s continued commitment to the Lasallian educational mission, guided by faith, respect, and a deep dedication to the student and to humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
