Dear Holy Name Families,
Tomorrow looks to be a day full of sunshine. We hope to see you at our Annual Touch-a-Truck and Fall Festival being held in the school's parking lot from 12 to 4 pm tomorrow. In addition to the trucks, the event will have games and pumpkin decorating. It promises to be a fun day for the whole family. We are still looking for some volunteers. See additional details and the links to volunteer and purchase tickets in the Home & School section below.
Tomorrow is also an Open House for Prospective Families. Please encourage friends, family, and neighbors to learn more about our school. If interested families cannot make tomorrow's Open House, we can set up times for individual tours by contacting the Admissions Office.
Player registration for the basketball program is now open; the link is below. As a reminder, next Thursday is a half-day for students due to Parent-Teacher Conferences. It is also a casual day for students.
Enjoy the weekend.
Best regards,
Mr. Chisholm
