Dear Walla Walla Catholic School Families,
The last day of school is June 10, just one week away! Yesterday at DeSales, our seniors were recognized at the End of the Year Awards Ceremony, and at Assumption our 6th graders received special recognition at Mass as they prepare for their transition to DeSales next year. The end of the year is bittersweet for our students as they say goodbye to familiar friends, and prepare to make new friends in the Fall. Thank you for keeping them in your prayers during this exciting time!
Remember that Graduation is coming up on Saturday, June 4! Read about that and more in the Weekly News below.

USFS Visits Assumption!
Back in May, Assumption students received a visit from Jimmye Turner, who works for the United States Forest Service. Mr. Turner taught our kids about the importance of forest fire safety and forest ecosystems. Thanks so much to the USFS for the great work that they do, and to Mr. Turner for spending time with our students!
