Santa Barbara Catholic School has done it again. Another spring production, this one titled “My Son Pinocchio: Geppetto’s Musical Tale” drew large crowds last week, and will continue to showcase the students’ talents tomorrow and Friday night at the school’s Petrie Gymnasium.
“Productions are always something that we always look forward to every year,” says vice principal and production manager Sister Maria Rosario Gaite.
“We always approach them with anticipation and excitement.”
The production, which runs about an hour and a half, will take you on a Disney cruise around the story of Pinocchio.

Also camping out with the Scouts were their parents and siblings. The SBCS Cub Scouts roasted marshmallows over a bonfire on both Friday and Saturday nights. Saturday was full of fun and games for the Scouts – they played tug-of-war and golf, went swimming, and made kites out of palm leaves and newspapers then flew them in the windy breeze. The Scouts also learned how to shoot BB guns and even how to fish with a rod and line! Then they rode in Jeff’s truck for a tour of the jungle.
On Saturday night, the SBCS Cub Scouts, den leaders and parents presented a short skit at the District Dinner. We are proud to announce the Wolf Den Leader, Mr. Justin Green, won the Spark Plug Award, for his hard work and in sparking enthusiasm in Scouting at SBCS.
The SBCS Cub Scouts Pack is the first on Guam to be chartered by a Catholic school. For more information and to join, please contact the Cubmaster, Mrs. Evangeline Calumaya, or drop in at the monthly Pack Meeting in the SBCS Cafeteria.
