A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

This week was filled with Advent wonder and Christmas cheer, to say the least!  We had the Knights of Columbus visit during Convocation this week to announce the first and second place winners for the Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest.  Congratulations to Claire, Margaret, Ashleigh, Charles, Henry, Stella, Ella, and Clara on their cash prizes!  The Knights of Columbus have sent their poster on to the next level of the contest – Good luck, Crusaders!

Our Middle School Boys basketball team wrapped up their season recently and did a great job.  They played hard, made huge improvements, and had tons of fun.  The Middle School Cheer team also wrapped up their season recently with a special performance that included the members of Little Cheer.  They performed stunts and cheers that were unbelievable!  It was nice to hear the fight song at each of the games this season as well.  In addition to our middle schoolers, our 4th Grade girls basketball team took First Place in the Gladstone Tournament.  Congrats to all the basketball players, Cheer members, and a big thank you to the Coaches that give up so much of their time and talents, Mr. Tony Derkos, Mr. Adam Ryno, Mrs. Meaghan Jensen, and Mrs. Kristin Triest.

Finally this week, I would like to wish all the students, staff, and their families a very Merry Christmas!  I hope you all enjoy the break and are able to celebrate the birth of Jesus with your family and friends.  See you in the New Year!

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Hello Crusader Family!

What a fun-filled week it has been at the high school! This was Winter Spirit Week and the high school students started it off by dressing up with their best Ugly Sweaters! On Tuesday they all were given a character from the Nativity to Dress up as and we took a group picture for a Holy Name High School Christmas card. Wednesday was full of characters from Christmas movies. These ranged from “Hallmark Movie Characters” to Rudolph. Today they came in their cozy socks and flannel shirts. Tomorrow looks like it’ll be a fun day with PJ bottoms on the docket. To end the week, we’ll be heading to the bowling alley in the morning and will have a small Christmas party in the afternoon. In the midst of all of this fun, the students were busy with tests and homework and finished out the week strong.

Can you believe that Christmas is just a week away? I pray that your holidays are filled with love, laughter and many reminders of Jesus’ love for you!

God Bless,

Mrs. Viau
