Dear Friends,

Happy Fall!

We now have completed the first full month of the school year and can you believe that the 1st Quarter Progress Reports are being distributed?  I hope that you have all settled into a routine that both benefits you and your children.  There are a lot of activities after school pertaining to the arts, entertainment and athletics.  You will have many opportunities to enjoy and participate in these events and I highly recommend it.  High School is not only for the student but for the parent and guardians to see how our community works and plays together.  Please visit the Holy Name web page calendar to see the upcoming events.

If you have any questions please contact us at [email protected].

God bless,

Kathy Rabbett
President, Parents Association
