The year is passing by quickly. Our 3rd quarter ends next Thursday, March 12, 2015. We have had 4 snow days thus far.

on April 15, 2015. All information needs to be turned into the secretary by all committees ASAP, for typing.
The 7th and 8th grade is planning a fundraiser on Sunday, March 29, 2015, a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. This Saturday,
there will be a potluck in the gym for the Pathfinder Bible Experience teams.
A special Mahalo (thank you) to Principal Delwin Garcia of GLAA for assisting with Friday worships.
I will be contacting several parents about their childrens birth certificates for our records.
Parents we appreciate the keeping of your financial agreements. If you are having difficulties please make an appointment
to meet with the Principal after school.
