A Brief Viau

November 5th, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

This has been a very busy week as the teachers have been putting in a lot of extra work and hours as they prepared for and held Parent Teacher Conferences.  It was really nice seeing so many parents in the hallways last night and throughout the week as you took the extra time out of your busy schedules to meet with your child’s teacher(s).  The collaboration between home and school is so important in a student’s success.

On Monday we celebrated All Soul’s Day and Bishop Doerfler’s birthday.  Father Rob continued those prayers at the All School Mass as he gave a beautiful homily on the souls in purgatory and how important it is for us to pray for them.  This busy week is wrapping up with half days as the teachers finish some last minute conferences.  We adjusted the middle and high school schedules so that everyone would get to all of their classes on one of the two half days.

Next Monday we are welcoming Mrs. Jody Johnston to the Holy Name family as our new Kitchen Assistant!  Mrs. Johnston will also be supervising the playground as one of the two afternoon recess supervisors for our Elementary afternoon recess.  We’re very excited to have her join us in the kitchen as well as on the playground as this will lessen the duties on the teachers and allow them to have more one-on-one time with the students.

We certainly kicked off the 2nd Quarter this week with some rainy weather.  I hope that it clears up and you’re all able to enjoy a nice weekend.

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀


A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Happy Friday, Crusader Family!

The first quarter is wrapped up and parent teacher conferences went great! I am so proud of our students. They have worked so very hard this first quarter and I have seen such growth in all of them.

A huge thank you to all of you that were able to help out at the All Saints Festival. Our students did a great job representing the high school in the concession area and in portraying Living Saints. Nice job, everyone!

Next week, November 10, 2026 is our Taco Tuesday dinner! Dinner will be served from 5:00-7:00 p.m. A Sign Up Genius link went out this week and we could still use some help so please sign up soon. I’ve been told that this menu is going to be amazing. Remember that this event is open to the public so please spread the word and invite friends and family!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

God bless,

Mrs. Viau
