Summer Projects Update
The transformation of AHN's library into a modern Learning Commons is just about complete (the books are still making their way to the shelves).
The reimagined space acknowledges the ways in which students study, collaborate, and relax, advancing their learning experience. The Learning Commons comes complete with a fireplace, bean bag chairs, study carrels, and a pink couch just for good measure.
Thank you to those who raised their paddles at this year's Spring Gala to make this possible! In the next couple of weeks we'll update you on our other ongoing projects: the new Fitness Center and Dance Studio.

SNJM in Winnipeg
Dr. Kilbridge and Principal Taranto were among the presidents, principals, and members of the Holy Names Educational Ministries in attendance for this year's Sisters of the Holy Names Network of Schools meeting at St. Mary's Academy in Winnipeg.
At the event, St. Mary's Interim President Michelle Klus highlighted the legacy of SNJM founder Mother Marie Rose, saying "her dream continues to inspire our work where we strive to nurture talents, hand on the faith, promote justice, celebrate the arts, and make a positive contribution to the broader community."

High School Pep Rally
Our hearts beat true for the red, white, and blue on Friday as the theme for this year's High School pep rally was all things America!
It was a full patriotic display as classes competed against one another in a variety of games in the gym. The seniors, to the surprise of no one, emerged victorious, and celebrated by serenading the school with a delightful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. Thanks to Mrs. Ladouceur and Pep Club for organizing the event.

National Estate Planning Awareness Week | | |
|
|
October 21-27 marks National Estate Planning Awareness Week.
Planned giving is too often thought of as a gift an individual makes near the end of his or her life. But, planned giving can be a meaningful way to support Academy of the Holy Names at any point in one’s life.
Through the Mother Marie Rose Legacy Society, gifts can be structured to have immediate benefit to AHN, others can have ongoing or deferred benefits.
