Holy Name Highlights

Happy Friday!

It was a great week here at Holy Name! As we move into next week's first round of ISTEP+ testing, please be sure to check your child's daily reminder emails to see when they will take their tests. Please be sure that they get a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast to start their day! We are excited for them to have an opportunity to show us what they know!

Have a great weekend and we will see everyone on Monday!

Our Lenten journey. Our Catholic community in the U.S. does something amazing each Lent. We come together to practice prayer, fasting and almsgiving—and by doing so we help lift families and communities out of poverty and put them on a path toward resilience, prosperity and stability. That’s the CRS Rice Bowl effect.

This week, the students brought home CRS (Catholic Relief Service) Rice Bowls. CRS, as the official overseas humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic Church works in 112 countries, helping over 121 million people a year. It is through the Rice Bowl funds that we help development programs in many poor countries around the world. Projects include clean drinking water for vulnerable communities, seeds and training support to help farmers improve harvests, and health exams and treatment support for children. And because our U.S. Catholic Church believes we need to love our neighbors both locally and globally, 25% of Rice Bowl funds raised in our parishes and schools is returned to the diocese to be used as Matthew 25 Rice Bowl Grants to help alleviate poverty and hunger in our archdiocesan area. Through this tradition, we have helped families around the world and in our own backyard by raising our voices and our prayers and by making sacrificial gifts. Learn more at crsricebowl.org.

A gentle reminder that Extended Care is a pre-pay program, check your child’s balance and pay accordingly.

Important: Fridays during Lent Extended Care will be in the JCPC and the parents may pick up their children there.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us.
