Dear Parents and Friends,
Our yearbooks are in and once again they are
great! We have a limited number
available and about half are already spoken for, so reserve yours now. Last year we sold out! Yearbook distribution will be on Wednesday,
May 23 and we’ll have a yearbook signing “party” on Thursday, May 24 at 2 pm in
Coyle Hall. Yearbooks sell for $15.
The dance
party which was scheduled for tonight has been canceled due to general malaise.
The final
Walking School Bus for the school year will be running (actually just walking)
on Wednesday, May 23. St. Catherine
School has doubled the size of the Kawaihau Road “bus”
since we began participating in October. With all the support and participation
of the Walking School Bus program, the State House has passed HB2626 (The Safe Routes to School Bill). According to Bev Brody, Get Fit Kauai Health & Built Environment Project Facilitator, “this bill permanently
establishes a safe routes to school program on each island and will ultimately
create a built environment that will allow our children to walk and bike safely
to school for generations to come!”
Next week is the last week we will have our 8th
graders on campus. Please extend your
congratulations and good wishes to them!
Next week they will be busy with activities and graduation
preparations. They begin on Sunday with
their Activity Day. Tuesday they
participate in the Waipā Ropes Course with the 7th
grade class. They will end the school
week with a retreat on Friday, finally graduate on Saturday evening. Everyone is welcome to join us at the 5 pm
Mass and graduation at St. Catherine Church.
The last PTG meeting of the year will be held
on Tuesday, May 22 at 6:30 pm. Thank you
to our officer, Stephenie Mueller, Keani Cummings, Michele Carlson, and Shanel Noguchi!
