Dear Holy Name Families,

We did it! We raised more than $86,000 and counting - far surpassing our goal of $60,000 for today's Glow Run! Thank you to all of our students for their fundraising efforts as well as our generous sponsors. None of this would be possible without the effort of our Home & School Association and especially this year's event co-chairs, Maggie Girard and Siobhan Hanlon who dedicated so much time to make the event a great success and a great experience for the students.

Each grade of students ran, danced, and skipped their way through 35 laps in Parish Hall. Thank you to Trudy Roddy, this year's emcee, for keeping students motivated to persevere through the run. They earned their donations!

For reaching one of the fundraising milestones, students earned a pajama day - that will be this Monday. Some other grades also earned some special incentive prizes. Those special events are listed in the Home and School section below and will take place over the next two weeks.

Next week is Holy Week. We have a School Mass on Wednesday at 8:45 am in the Upper Church. The fifth grade is our host grade. The parish's Holy Week schedule can be found in the bulletin linked below.

Have a great weekend.

Best regards,

Mr. Chisholm
