Dear Walla Walla Catholic School Families,
It is a whirlwind of activity here at the Walla Walla Catholic Schools! Today, our 6th graders visited DeSales for Step-up Day where they got to meet students, teachers, and staff, all to prepare for the transition from Assumption to DeSales next year. At DeSales, many of our students are travelling with their spring sports teams for regional and state competitions this week and next week. Please be sure to pray for safe travels for all of our kids, coaches, and parents!
Thank you for reading through the Weekly News below!
3rd Grade Visits the WW Public Works Department!
This week, Mrs. Leahy's 3rd grade class was invited to visit the City of Walla Walla Public Works Department to help them celebrate National Public Works week! The students watched a “Show and Tell” parade of equipment and a variety of informative presentations, and they got to examine the heavy equipment up close that the city uses to do its many jobs. In addition, they met with experts in the area of recycling, storm drains, engineering, city planning, water (both wastewater and clean water), and much more. It was a wonderful learning experience! We are grateful to the City of Walla Walla Public Works Department for the work they do daily!
