Thank you to Camp Chingachgook for hosting our eighth grade class this week! Our aim was to have a successful first field trip of the school year and we’d say mission = accomplished!

Thanks to all colleges and universities which took part in this week's College Caravan for students. Participants included: SUNY Schenectady County Community College, Niagara University, SUNY Adirondack, Russell Sage College, Maria College, University at Albany, SUNY, Clarkson University, SUNY Fulton-Montgomery Community College, Hudson Valley Community College, Keuka College, SUNY Fredonia Alfred University, SUNY Plattsburgh, St. Bonaventure University, Herkimer College, Siena College, Nazareth University, Champlain College, SUNY Delhi, and SUNY Cobleskill.

Led by Fr. Bob Longobucco, AHN celebrated its Opening/Senior Liturgy on Thursday.

The occasion was complete with the commissioning of new eucharistic ministers, and after a day of gifts and surprises from their schoolmates, seniors received their class shirts.

It was another busy week for the AHN Panthers.

On Tuesday, golf was victorious in its matchup versus Albany Academy. Cross Country won its varsity meet at Mohonasen High School, and soccer picked up its first win of the season with a 2-0 shutout over Lansingburgh. Also, varsity volleyball continued its winning ways with a 3-0 straight sets win over Lansingburgh.

Soccer made it back-to-back wins with its Thursday 1-0 victory over Ichabod Crane. Addison Fogarty had the lone goal and her sister, Emma, preserved the shutout with a penalty kick save. Golf added another win, topping LaSalle 1-0.

Next up: Tennis heads to Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Friday afternoon. Modified volleyball heads to Schalmont while JV and varsity head to Ichabod Crane. The swim team is also in action at Mohonasen/Schalmont.

Varsity Cross Country is in action Saturday at the Queensbury Invitational.

JV and volleyball host South Glens Falls on Monday.

On Tuesday, modified and varsity Cross Country head to Ichabod Crane, Golf takes on Voorheesville Central, Soccer heads to Albany Academy, and tennis takes on Mohanasen/Schenectady.

AHN is raising awareness of Alzheimer's Disease.

Friday marked our first dress down day of the school year. Students dressed in purple, and were encouraged to bring a donation of any amount to support Alzheimer’s research.

ALSO, the greater AHN community is invited to join our team for this year's Alzheimer's Walk at Siena College on Saturday, October 26. Scan the QR code or follow the link to sign up or to make a donation!

Sunday's Mother Marie Rose brunch is open to all! PLUS, you can stay for the annual AHN Golf Classic on Monday, October 7 which features a special golf clinic this year. Details below.

The annual AHN Golf Classic is right around the corner! Join us for a day on the green filled with fun and friends, while supporting Holy Names!

You're invited to be a sponsor, golfer, clinic participant, or volunteer for this year's event. We've also added a new element this year: a Golf Clinic hosted by LPGA legend Kay McMahon which will run simultaneously with the Classic. Clubs will be provided.

Follow the link for more information, and to register as a sponsor, player or clinic participant.

AHN's Parent Association is raising money through the Clynk recycling program. Be sure to grab a tagged bag at Back to School Night on Tuesday, September 24. Once filled you can drop it off at your local Hannaford Clynk recycling center, or bring back to school on collections days.

NOTE: If you took a green Clynk recycling and at the Ice Cream Social, bring your filled bag to the Back School Night to drop off. Those bags do NOT have tags for direct drop off at a Hannaford. 

It's not too early to start thinking about Holly Ball! You can get your ticket(s) now for a raffle basket valued at $1500 courtesy of the AHN Parent Association and our friends at Butterfly Boutique Prom and Bridal. Ticket sales end on October 9, so get yours today by scanning the QR code below.
