Principal's Weekly Update

Dear Families,

It is hard to believe we are entering into Holy Week and just a week away from Easter.

The Bookmobile from the Fall River Public Library is scheduled to make its first visit to Holy Name this Tuesday. Students who signed up for library cards will receive them on Tuesday. If your child already has a library card from a SAILS library, they are welcome to bring it into school. We will be sure to share pictures on Facebook.

We have been grateful to all the guest readers and visitors who spoke about the importance of reading skills in their careers. Mayor Coogan visited grade four this week as well as parents and friends of the school. We have some exciting visitors scheduled for this upcoming week as well.

All families are invited to attend Palm Sunday Mass at Holy Name Church this Sunday at 10:30. Please see details below. Children will be invited to process in and there will be a children's homily. The Palm Sunday Mass that was recorded this past Thursday will air this Sunday on channel 6 at 11:00 am.

Sincerely,

Megan dos Santos

Principal

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.
