Partners in Education Breakfast

"Thank you" doesn't seem like enough to say to our devoted supporters of the Partners in Education program, as our gratitude is beyond measure.



The program supports qualified students who without financial assistance would not be able to attend Holy Names.

On Wednesday, many of our participating partners were able to enjoy breakfast with the students whose futures they've helped provide hope and promise.

Barbie Takes the Plunge

What do Barbie and math have in common? We're so glad you asked!

This week in Mr. Zaccardo's class, students learned about linear regression and the "line of best fit."

So, naturally, the best way to measure this was with rubber bands and Barbie dolls, sending them "bungee jumping." Students were given height measurements and had to calculate how many rubber bands it would take so Barbie would come within two inches of the floor.

Grade 8 Visits the Great Outdoors

Greetings from Outdoor Classroom in Massachusetts.

They’ll also learn about and among nature in a hands-on setting, all while practicing teamwork and collaboration.
