D
ear Holy Name Families,
We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend! Please remember to sign up for

We have added additional meeting times with all junior high teachers on Monday, November 26th from 1-4:30PM. If you need any help signing up for a conference please call the Main Office.
This Saturday our 2nd Graders will be receiving their
First Reconciliation/ Special Blessing at 10AM. All are welcome to attend!
Service Hour Opportunity: If you are interested in bringing lunch (set up by 12:15PM) or dinner (set up by 4:45PM) for 12 teachers next Monday or Tuesday for Parent Teacher Conferences, please email lcheetham@holynamesf.com.
Please also note the upcoming events:

We continue to keep the victims and first responders of the California fires in our thoughts and prayers. As a school community we will be participating in either a drive or fundraiser- we are finalizing our research and will get information out later this week. We will continue to check the air quality daily. As long as the air quality is red students will be remaining indoors during recess and lunch with shared gym time so they still have the opportunity to run around indoors.
We look forward to seeing all of you next week at our Parent Teacher Conferences. Have a wonderful week!
Thanks,
Natalie Cirigliano, Principal
