We are excited to welcome two new additions to our staff! Mrs. England will be going on maternity leave after Christmas break, and covering for her will be Miss Lizzie Beeson. Miss Beeson is a 2017 graduate of Holy Name, and we are thrilled to have her here working with our students over the next few months!

We will also be saying farewell to our middle school science teacher, Mrs. Mohler, after Christmas break, as she embarks on an exciting new opportunity and will be attending PA school. We are excited to welcome Mrs. Brenda Luna to our middle school team. Mrs. Luna comes to us as a teacher from Franklin Township, but has been around Holy Name for several years as a parent.

Please help us welcome Lizzie and Brenda to our staff!

Coming in January, we'll be collecting new and gently used winter coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to be donated to Beech Grove's very own Servant's Heart. As your children receive new winter items over the holiday season, please consider saving their old items to donate to our Winter Gear Drive. More info will be coming after Christmas. Thank you!
