A Brief Viau

February 5th, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

I am so excited that so many of you took advantage of the Catholic Schools Week Enrollment opportunity to register for only $25!  72% of our current Holy Name population re-enrolled for the 26-27 school year in just one week!!  If you forgot, no worries!  Enrollment is now open for everyone!  Please see the flyer in this week’s Crusader for more information on how to register.  The longer you wait to enroll for next year, the more the registration fee increases, so please register early and please share enrollment information with all of your friends and family!

We recently hit the halfway point of the school year, and we’re noticing how much our students are growing!  Many of our students have gone through a growth spurt which is showing in their skirts and pants.  Please remember that according to our handbook, uniform skirts and shorts are to be no higher than 2 inches above the knee.  If you’re not able to purchase new uniforms, please stop by our uniform closet.  We have several uniforms in all sizes that you can shop through.  Donations are suggested at $1 a piece, but not required.

We will be offering an all school Ash Wednesday Mass on February 18th at 2:15pm in the Grade School Multipurpose Room.  Mass uniforms are not required on Ash Wednesday, but regular school uniforms are required.  We will still hold our weekly all school Mass on Thursday, February 19th at 8:45am in the Multipurpose room at the Grade School, and Mass uniforms will be required.

I pray that you all have a wonderful weekend.

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

 


 

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Hello Crusader Family!

Finally having a full week of school has been amazing! Scholarship information packets went out to all of the seniors this week. These are for the foundations given out by Holy Name benefactors as well as those held at the Community Foundation. The applications are due back to me by March 26th. Please remind your seniors to get them back to me by that date. I’m here to help if they need it!

I wanted to remind everyone that our Lenten Fish Fry’s are coming up. The first one is on February 20, 2026. The proceeds for these fish frys help out our students that attend the Rome Pilgrimage when they are juniors or seniors. If you’ve never come to the fish frys, you are missing out! They are delicious and many people have said that they are the best in the area!

That’s all I have for now. Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

God Bless,

Mrs. Viau

Gym Entry Facelift

January 2nd, 2025|

Our Gym entryway has gotten a much needed facelift! Over break, the walls around the concession area were painted, and the ‘chicken wire’ on the concession stand is finally gone! Huge thanks go out to Henry Trottier and Travis Cary for all the hours they put in helping Tony give the space a Crusader feel, as well as Evelyn Trottier and Abby Derkos for their time painting the concession stand walls…and floor 

Looking forward to our Volleyball Saturday tournaments in February to really break it in!
