Kathy King
Ms. Kathy King, the
sixth, seventh, and eighth grade Religion and Music teacher and Choral
Director, has been with us at the Middle School since 2001. Her
extensive education and experience as a teacher, conductor, vocalist,
guitarist, and harpist for over twenty years is a blessing to all our
students.
Ms. King believes
strongly in the value of music education and has been recognized on a
number of occasions for her accomplishments as an educator. Recently,
Ms. King was honored on Tuesday, March 1st, at the Music
Center Education Division’s 23rd Annual BRAVO Award Gala
for demonstrating excellence in arts education. Being one of numerous
faculty who were nominated from the
Los Angeles
county area, she was the only music teacher to be awarded the Finalist
distinction in the Specialist Teacher category this year. We are so
proud of Ms. King and her many accomplishments – and we are very
grateful to have her as a member of our Chaminade Family!
Mary Clare Walker and
Kristy Walker
Everyone at the
Middle School would like to send a special thank you to our two
long-term substitute teachers who graciously joined us for a number of
months this year while two of our faculty members were on maternity
leave. Mrs. Mary Clare Walker substituted for Mrs. Lisa Leiknes’
English classes and Ms. Kristy Walker was here to teach our girls’
Physical Education program for Mrs. Jennifer Lilley. The students
were fortunate to have both of these experienced teachers join us for
part of the year and everyone commented on how they fit right in. Our
heartfelt gratitude goes to both
Walker
teachers and we hope they know that in our hearts they will always be
a part of our Chaminade Family!!!
