Principal's Weekly Update
January 15th-19th
Dear Families,
We had our first School Life Committee Meeting of the new year this past Thursday. The SLC is planning a lot of family events for the winter and spring months. Keep an eye out for a "Save the Dates" email with updates on these events.
Our first Walk-a-thon planning meeting will take place this Wednesday, 1/17 at 6 pm. We are in need of families to help us plan this important fundraiser and making it a fun family event.
Below you will see our advertisement for our open house on February 1st from 6-7:30 pm. We are asking your assistance in helping to spread the word about this event. This past week we have seen an increase in the number of calls and inquiries about applying to our school. Many of them said that another family has recommended Holy Name. Thank you for yourhelp in spreading the word!
I am very excited to announce that we will be expanding our PreK program as well. We will now be accepting PreK 3 students. With this expansion, we are giving our PreK room a makeover. Thanks to the help of Fr. Williams and some families, the room has a fresh coat of paint. I have been working with Mrs. Barreira on updating the furniture, learning materials, and toys. There is still some work to be done in the next few weeks, but I am looking forward to keeping you updated on the progress of the PreK makeover. Please spread the news if you know of any families looking for school for their 3 year old.
Have a great holiday weekend.
Sincerely,
Megan dos Santos
Principal

Inclement Weather and School Cancelation & Delay Announcements
Holy Name used School Messenger in the past to communicate with families about school delays and cancellations due to inclement weather. We no longer have access to this program and are currently setting up a new system for school-wide notifications. Until this system is in place, we will communicate delays and cancellations of school on Facebook and via email. I will keep you updated as we implement a new system.

The 8th grade students are sponsoring a calendar raffle to raise funds for their class trip and end-of-year events. Calendars are being sold for $10 and there are 29 chances to win a gift certificate. Please contact the main office if you would like to purchase a calendar.
