Holy Name Highlights

Greetings Giants!

We have officially begun the 4th quarter! We have so many things to celebrate at Holy Name including the great things that our students are doing! This week, we started a new way of “catching” students doing great things – things that go above and beyond our expectations. Called “Giant Examples of the Spirit” tickets, any adult in the building can recognize any student identifying what Gift of the Holy Spirit was being modeled. These are given to the student’s teacher to be recognized, displayed, and celebrated throughout the week. Then, on Friday, each teacher will choose one student to be recognized on the announcements. They will come to the office and can choose a small prize and have their picture taken (see the picture for today)! You have blessed us with so many amazing young people here and we just want to find ways to celebrate them!

Next week we begin Holy Week. As we reflect on the Passion of Jesus next week, we remain thankful for the unending love and mercy of God. We only have one all school Mass next week as there will not be Mass on Holy Thursday. Also, just a reminder that we are dismissing on Good Friday at 11:30.

Have a blessed weekend!

Mr. Kitchens

Holy Name Families raised $274.81 during our Chick Fil A Chow With The Cow Event. Great job, Giants!

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.

Our annual father/daughter dance will take place on Friday, April 20 from 7:00-9:00! Please email Amy Wright (awright@holyname.cc) or call the school office to register for this event by Thursday, April 5th.
