This was Sam then . . .

The Guiding Light Medallion Each is handmade, numbered and signed by the spiritually inspired French/Swiss artist ~Laurence (Elle) Groux~
The medallion embodies the idea of a child being led by an adult using the "Light" of the De La Salle School for guidance. In a figurative way, the child's sponsor is also “lighting” a student’s path through his years of education within the school.
It is reserved for those that firmly believe in The De La Salle School, and its mission, and have made it possible for a worthy child to attend each year!
