Greetings!

On Wednesday, May 16, Chaminade Julienne will gather to recognize the academic achievements of all students during the annual Honors Assembly, beginning at 7 p.m. in the auditorium.

At this program we will be honoring members of our student body for their outstanding accomplishments throughout the 2011-12 school year. Various students in grades 9-12 will be recognized with academic or non-academic awards during the program, and a reception for guests will follow immediately after in the cafeteria.

If your student is being recognized, you should have received an invitation in the mail on Monday. In the event your student is not able to attend the program, please have him or her notify the Guidance Office by Friday, May 11. Any student who receives an award and does not attend the assembly may pick it up after lunch on Thursday, May 17.

We look forward to sharing in this evening of celebration with you and your student.

Sincerely,

Charlene Wheeler, Guidance | email
