have a problem, including the school psychologist, administrators and teachers. They<br />
can assist in finding further professional help if it's needed.<br />
PAC's next parent meeting will be our third annual Senior Speak-Out. If you have a<br />
typical teenager, you may feel that you're not privy to much of what goes on at<br />
school. This meeting is your chance to hear about <strong>Pali</strong> from the student perspective.<br />
Please join us on Thursday, May 27th, at 6:30 pm, in the school Library.<br />

PTSA NEWS<br />
As we enter the last weeks of school, PTSA is thankful for all the support provided by<br />
parents, school administration, the Booster Club and guest speakers. Our most recent<br />
programs have concluded with gratifying results. In conjunction with Booster Club,<br />
we were able to provide gourmet sandwiches or salads, drink and dessert to all <strong>Pali</strong><br />
staff attending Showcase Night and sell to parents and children throughout the<br />
evening. In addition, we extend our sincere thanks to all the wonderful parents who<br />
had donated a variety of delectable desserts for our bake sale Showcase Night.<br />
Although the weather left uncertainty, all those who attended Showcase Night<br />
regarded it as a success and the campus was graced with the boundless energy and<br />
passion of our young artists all demonstrating their special talents. It was a wonderful<br />
experience to see such diversity in our small community.<br />
The Catalyst program in April had 25 students attend for preparation of the upcoming<br />
S.A.T. exams. We will be holding the next Catalyst program the weekend of May<br />
22nd and 23rd for the June 5th S.A.T. exam. This two-day seminar is a great<br />
opportunity for students to obtain insight into the exam and give them more<br />
confidence in taking the test. Light refreshments and snacks are provided both days.<br />

and Recommended Grade Level reading material for the upcoming year. We are
