The Brief Viau

April 9th, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

Happy Easter!  Even though it was a short week, it was a very busy one as we are preparing for the Spring Fling which will be held next Saturday, April 18th!  If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, you can do so by using this link: https://holynamespringfling.maxgiving.bid/tickets.  We are still in need of volunteers, raffle items/baskets, and gift cards.  If you would be willing to donate your time, you can sign up to volunteer using this link: https://www.holynamecrusaders.com/springfling/ or if you would like to donate an item, basket, or gift card, please drop it off in the office during school hours or contact Jane Arts at alumni@holynamecrusaders.com or 906-786-7550 x202 to arrange a pick up/drop off time that works for you.

It’s hard to believe that we started the final quarter of the 25-26 school year this week!  Third quarter report cards were sent home this week.  If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s teacher directly.  If you haven’t enrolled your child for the 26-27 school year yet, you can do so by using this link: https://www.holynamecrusaders.com/admission/.  This year has been such a blessing and I look forward to watching the students continue to grow.

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

 


 

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Hello Crusader Family!

It was great to have all of the kids back at school on Tuesday! The juniors and seniors have been sharing their Rome Pilgrimage throughout the week. It sounds like a fantastic time was had by everyone. If you’d like to know more about their pilgrimage, mark your calendars for a fun filled evening coming up on Friday, April 24th from 5:30-7:30. We will be having a Pasta Dinner where the students will share their experiences with those in attendance.

We’ve now entered the 4th quarter of the school year. Boy, time sure has flown by! Planning ahead, I’d like to invite you all to join me in celebrating our Senior class of 2026 at their graduation ceremony. This year, it will be held on May 29th at 6:00 p.m. at St. Anne’s Parish. In addition, Senior Parents, please mark your calendars for the Senior Awards Banquet to be held on May 21 at 6:00 p.m. in the hall at St. Anne’s parish. More information will be forthcoming.

As you know, next Saturday, April 18th is our annual Spring Fling! If you’ve never been to this event before, now is the time to come. Doors open at 4:30. Be sure to get your tickets soon! I look forward to seeing you all there!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

God Bless,

Mrs. Viau

Living Library

February 19th, 2026|

Join our Living Library!

Looking for students and adults (any age) that are interested in sharing their knowledge with others. :)

We will be having a Living Library during the book fair which is March 9th – 13th. This will be an after-school event and we are looking for volunteers to be “books”!

How does it work?

When you sign up to be a “book”, you will choose a topic that you are interested in and enjoy sharing information about. You will choose at least 5 pre-planned questions that people can ask you if they choose your “book”. It will be a fun way for others to learn about something that you are passionate about!

Topic Ideas

  • Examples of Hobbies
    • A sport you enjoy
    • Sewing
    • Gardening
    • Raising your pet
    • Fishing or hunting
  • Examples of topics from your career
    • Something that you do for your job that you enjoy
      • Construction
      • Owning your own business
      • Things that you cook/bake or sell
      • Something in medicine
      • A branch within the military
    • A topic from your vocation.
      • A Priest or Sister could choose a topic from their vocation such as confession, baptism, a specific prayer, or something else from their ministry
      • Parents could have a book on preparing dinner, folding laundry or how to give the perfect hug!
  • Examples of something that you are really interested in
    • Certain kind of animals such as butterflies or cows
    • Something that you like to make such as homemade Play-Doh or model trains
      • Why you think that something is AMAZING, give us all the reasons you think so :)

Any adults need to be VIRTUS trained before they can volunteer to be a “book”. You can pick any topic you would like, but it does need to be reviewed and approved before the event. Thank you!

Please reach out with any questions!

Vicky LaMarche office@holynamecrusaders.com or 906-786-7550
