PRINCIPAL'S LETTER
Dear Holy Name Families,
We hope you are all having a great week so far. Last week
27 of our 8th graders were able to be part of history as they attended the Inauguration and explored D.C. the day of the Women's March. Our students witnessed American democracy and explored the many treasures and monuments of the city. Our 8th graders who were in school last week had a fun combined math/science lab where they made Dippin Dots!
This week is a busy week! Our
Annual Science Fair is tomorrow night from 5:30-7PM in the school gym so there will be no basketball practices today and Wednesday. Thursday we have our
Math-a-thon as well as our
Chinese New Year celebrations, and Friday we have no school for our
Chinese New Year Holiday!
Our Catholic School Week is January 30th- February 3rd. Our All School Mass and Open House will be this Sunday, January 29th. All students are expected to attend the 9:30AM mass. Our Open House will follow from 10:30AM-12PM. We look forward to seeing you!
Thanks,
Natalie Cirigliano, Principal
