Dear Holy Name Families,
Yesterday, Reagan and Terrence, two fourth graders, excitedly stopped me in the hallway to share their poetry. Inspired by William Carlos Williams' "Red Wheelbarrow," they and the other fourth graders wrote poems about the importance and value of ordinary objects like clocks and paper using Williams' rhyming pattern and structure. I was impressed with their creativity and use of language.
The poems are one of Holy Name's many signs of fall; another one of those signs is outside Mr. Gordon's room. The 6th graders' Pumpkin Poetry is on display. After choosing a famous figure, 6th graders decorated a pumpkin like that person and wrote a poem about his/her life and importance. Upstairs we have many famous and iconic people including a pumpkin Jackie Robinson, Winnie-the-Pooh, and our very own - Mr. Gordon.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Touch-a-Truck last weekend. Through the efforts of Home & School, the event raised $18,000 for the school - what a great start to Home & School's year. Please click here to view scenes from Touch-a-Truck. We also held a successful Open House in conjunction with Touch-a-Truck. Admissions for next year is in full-swing already.
The NEASC team completed the first part of its visit yesterday. The team of three principals from New England Catholic schools shared positive comments about our school. They will visit again this spring for three days. We look forward to their feedback and recommendations once their evaluation is complete.
Thank you for joining us for conferences yesterday afternoon and evening. Please return your signed progress report to your child's teacher if you have not done so already.
Have a great weekend.
Best regards,
Mr. Daniel Chisholm
Principal
