"What I love most about Chaminade is seeing our mission being realized - to Love, Learn, and Lead."
Mr. Guerra's Welcome Message
Dear Chaminade Families,
Summertime provides an ideal opportunity for our community to intentionally take time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate our bodies, spirits (soul), and minds. This downtime is an important factor in keeping our collective spirits healthy and balanced. If your family hasn’t done so already, please take downtime to rest and renew because there is plenty of summertime remaining.
Though the frst day of school is over a month away, it is my privilege to be one of the frst to welcome you to the 2024-2025 academic year! Our annual summer newsletter contains important information about the return to school so please carefully review and use this as a guide to start the school year off right.
Again, welcome to the 2024-2025 academic year and I look forward to seeing everyone in August!
God bless, Mr. Guerra
