PRINCIPAL'S LETTER
Dear Holy Name families,
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Yesterday we had a faculty meeting focused around safety. Please be sure to read the letter sent home today regarding
safety updates and upcoming safety drills. Don't forget to download the
school app by clicking
here on your smart phone.
The 2017 year is almost over! Please remember to turn your
church donations in if you are on the Active Parish Supporter Plan.
Our
Christmas Show will be here before you know it! Please save the date for Thursday, December 14th at 6:30PM.
Shhhhh... it's time to decorate the school for
Christmas so we can surprise the students on Monday morning! If any of you are interested in helping to decorate on Saturday from 12-2PM, please email me at [email protected]. If anyone would like to donate Christmas decorations or fake Christmas trees, please just bring them to the main office. (Please remember it's a secret!)
If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Thanks,

A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ARNOLD
Life is full of "UPS" and "DOWNS".
The only WISDOM in facing them is to GLORIFY GOD during the "ups" and FULLY TRUST him during the "downs"! Remember: The best place in the world is to be in the ARMS OF GOD who will not only hold you at your "BEST" but will pick you up and hold you tighter at your "WEAKEST". When you are going through something hard and wonder where GOD is,
remember the teacher is always quiet during a test.
TRUST IN THE LORD.
God bless you and your family!
-Fr. Arnold
