Brief Viau

May 14th, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

What a busy week it was at Holy Name Catholic School this week!  We had two beautiful Spring Music concerts put on by our 1st-4th graders and our 5th-12th graders.  Mr. and Mrs. Ellis did it again as the band and choir students were amazing!  It’s so great to hear the growth from where they started in August to where they are now.  Year one of “Bringing Back the Band” and our choral program was very successful.  We’re blessed to have the Ellis’ as part of the Holy Name Family.

Our middle and high school track and field teams have been busy this season and have made wonderful progress.  Many have made new personal best records and several have earned medals.  Coach Luke, Coach Keith, and Mr. Derkos awarded many of the team members with medals during Convo the last couple of weeks.  Congratulations to them all as they are wrapping up their season.

Thursday was a special day for our Seniors as many returned to Holy Name for a beautiful Mass led by Father Tim and Deacon Bob.  Afterwards they all enjoyed some fun games and camaraderie in the gym and then ended with a special nacho lunch.  We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.  Thursday was the last day of school for our Holy Name High School students and we miss them already.  Their Graduation Ceremony will be on Friday, May 29th at 6pm at St. Anne’s Church.  You’re all welcome to come celebrate with us!

Have a great weekend and God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

 


 

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Hello Crusader Family!

This seemed like the busiest week so far this year! It was the senior’s last week and we took some time to celebrate with them. On Tuesday, we had a cookout and some games in the afternoon and Wednesday, Mrs. Bink provided all of the fixings for a Pancake Art Breakfast! It’s safe to say that the seniors will be missed by all of us.

An email went home to all of the high school parents this week regarding next week’s High School Awards Night. This will take place on Thursday, May 21 at 6:00 p.m. at St. Anne’s Parish in the hall. If you haven’t gotten the email please let me know. Remember to RSVP so that I can get a headcount.

The school year is winding down. Please remember that you can check your child’s academic progress in the FACTS Management system. I encourage you all to do this so that you can see if there are missing assignments or if you need to have a conversation with a teacher.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

God Bless,

Mrs. Viau

April 28th, 2026|

Mr. Walksnice did a great job as Principal for the Day! He started out with a donut with Mrs. Brief as they planned their day. Mr. Walksnice led Convo and visited all the classrooms at the Grade School & High School! He even gave orders for some classes to run laps! His class enjoyed a pizza party lunch & extra recess, all thanks to him. He even declared a NUT Day & No Homework for ALL Crusaders! Thanks for a special day, Mr. Walksnice!
