Dear Holy Name Families,
Happy New Year and blessings in 2020! The students returned today to school and are eager to begin learning new material and get back to the normal routine. Holy Name has so much to offer its students when it comes to the incredible curriculum taught by dedicated teachers and supported by wonderful staff. The school is still accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year, so spread the word to your friends that we will be happy to show them around campus.
We have many events on the horizon for the whole Holy Name community including a General Parent Guild Meeting on January 14th at 6 pm and our Catholic Schools Week Mass and Open House on Sunday, January 26th starting at 9:30 am with a liturgy celebrated by the student body. We also hope to see you at the Parish Crab Fest on Saturday, February 1st - get your tickets while you can!
Please know that if you have any questions, comments, or concerns - please feel free to see, call, or email me at any time! Holy Name is an amazing place to be!
God Bless!
