Seasons Greetings!
As we approach the end of the fall semester, we reflect on the journey we have taken with your families these past four months. It is has been our pleasure to inform you and answer your questions throughout the discernment process. Many of you have taken the leap to apply for the 2020-2021 school year, and we look forward to seeing you at the Entrance Exam on January 18 and your Family Interview in February.
Our Christmas break begins on December 19 and will continue until January 6. We will be checking email periodically throughout that time.
While we are away from the office, the best way to familiarize yourself with the admissions process is to click

Grandparents
Mass
On Tuesday, November 26, our Chaminade family celebrated our annual Thanksgiving Grandparents Mass. Over 400 grandparents attended this special event, honoring the treasured relationships between grandchildren and grandparents. The Mass included a poignant reflection by our President Rob Webb, a liturgical dance by our Eagle Dance Team, a blessing over all grandparents, and a closing reception with memorable photo opportunities. This Mass is one of our fondest ways to celebrate Chaminade's family spirit and to give thanks in this season.

Each year we relish in the fact that over 200 students volunteer their Sunday morning to represent Chaminade as actors, musicians, dancers, creators, and tour guides. Our Open House is not only an Admissions event, but an example of Chaminade in action and how Family Spirit is lived out by our Student Body, as well as by our Faculty and Staff. If you were able to attend, we hope this event exemplified how we inspire our students to love, learn and lead through our Catholic, Marianist tradition.

Makerspace
The “maker mindset” has been activated by students using their free time to work in two newly equipped creation spaces. Traditional building and crafting techniques are supercharged by technology to develop design thinking skills and to unleash student imaginations. “If they can dream it, they can make it” says robotics and programming teacher Pauline Breeden, “and if they can’t dream it, I can help them.”

Cocoa and Cram is an event held every year through the National Junior Honors Society (NJHS) Leadership Team. Students and teachers are invited to the Student Center one day after school to study for final exams. Delicious hot cocoa and cookies are offered to those who eagerly come to prepare for their upcoming finals. Students can participate in groups and ask any of the teachers in attendance for help. This special event has become a popular tradition over the years.
