Animo La Salle! The valiant battle cry of Animo means "Spirit and Will to Fight" or the indomitable spirit of a Green Archer to overcome and win against adversity. Animo La Salle, the traditional school battle cry, was inspired by Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle's Spirit and Charism of "Faith & Zeal" that his first band of De La Salle Christian Brothers strictly adhered to while working for their noble mission of Teaching Minds, Touching Hearts and Transforming Lives of the very Last, the Least and the Lost among the most venerable youth of Europe. The Lasallian spirit of "Faith/Hope" is symbolized by a radiant Signum Fidei Star, inspired by the Nativity Star of Christmas Eve. Saint La Salle together with his band of Christian Brothers undertook a noble mission of giving hope and providing a more promising and brighter future through tuition-free Lasallian education to the uneducated poor children of France 350 years ago. The Lasallian spirit of "Zeal/Courage" on the other hand, is symbolized by three broken chevrons that represent the three broken leg bones painfully suffered by Warrior Chieftain Johan Salla of Atphonus the Chaste, King of Oviedo, Spain, who was the great grandfather of Saint La Salle who fought several battles while defending to protect Christian Spain from the marauding Eastern Moorish armies. The ancient broken chevrons can be seen on the 1000-year-old royal coat of arms of the De La Salle family. The ancient family motto is Indivisa Manent, Latin for "Permanently Indivisible", which gave rise to the modern centennial motto of the 16 Lasallian educational institutions of De La Salle Philippines perpetually unites as "One La Salle!".
