Principal's Weekly Update

Dear Families,

I hope that you and your family have a prayerful Holy Week and happy Easter. We are excited to celebrate Easter with students once they return to school tomorrow. Holy Name Parish will be celebrating many baptisms this upcoming Divine Mercy Sunday at the 10:30 Mass. After Mass, there will be an Easter egg hunt on the church lawn. All families are welcomed and encouraged to join us for this celebration.

The Bookmobile made its first visit last week. Students who signed up for cards or who brought in a card had a chance to visit and borrow books. The students had a blast. Students who received library cards received both a wallet size card and one on a key ring. Teachers of our elementary students have kept the key ring size card in their classrooms in case a student forgets their card. Please reach out to your child's teachers if you prefer to have it sent home. Any student who would like to visit the Bookmobile is still able to sign up for a library card. I have attached the application. Contact the main office if you would like a hard copy sent home. The Bookmobile will be back on April 9th, so please do not forget to send back any books that were borrowed.

The School Life Committee is planning a lot of great low-cost family events in the next two months. They are listed below. Make sure you mark your calendar.

Sincerely,

Megan dos Santos

Easter Egg Hunt

Grab your basket and join us for our second annual Easter Egg Hunt! On Sunday, April 7th immediately following the 10:30 Mass all are invited to gather on the side lawn of the church for a family Easter Egg Hunt. There will be refreshments, Easter candy, and goodies.

Donations are needed to make this event a success. We are currently in need of individually wrapped candy, Easter basket goodies (i.e. bubbles, chalk, coloring books, Playdoh, small toys etc.), and plastic Easter eggs. All donations can be dropped off at the entrance of church, the parish office, or Holy Name School. Please leave plastic eggs unfilled. Thank you for your countined generosity!

Thank you to all the families who have referred new students to our school. Don't forget to fill out your current family referral forms.

Our new virtue of the month is justice, being fair and giving each his due. Below are the saints of the month.
