The week following students' comprehensive exams, 142 freshmen took part in the Catholic Experience Summer Program; a Kellenberg Memorial tradition since 2012. For five days, students boarded six busses embarking on daily spiritual excursions where they were able to experience their faith while getting to know other students and members of the Kellenberg Memorial faculty. Students visited the Shrine of Our Lady of the Island in Manorville, St. Joseph's Church in Garden City, St. John's University, and Maribah Marianist Retreat House in Muttontown. Thanks to all who took part in the camp!

On Thursday, May 18 the Junior class Blood Drive was held.  The Juniors collected 141 traditional pints of blood and 60 ALYX units for a total of 201 units collected from students and teachers.  Together with the blood that was collected in March from the Senior class, Kellenberg students and faculty donated 383 pints of blood which impacted the lives of more than 1,000 people.  We should be very proud of our students by making themselves a little uncomfortable to help save the life of another.
