Message from the Principal

January 17th, 2025|

Dear Families of Holy Name,

Next week we have our early enrollment period beginning on January 21, 2025. You will be receiving information about re-enrollment. We have been blessed with your children here and I hope we can continue to help them grow into the flourishing person God has called them to be. We are having an “open house” on Tuesday, January 28 from 6pm to 7:30pm. Prospective families are welcome to come and see what Holy Name has to offer. Please consider inviting a family member or friend to our school.

Catholic Schools Week is approaching. We have a number of great activities planned. We will be celebrating Jesus all week. We will be having a Mass, a pep rally for Jesus, and a time for praise and worship. I am particularly excited to see and learn about “Entrepreneur Day” on Wednesday afternoon.

The talent show is scheduled for Friday afternoon. I love the spirit of the last two activities as both help demonstrate a vulnerability and a moment of excellence. Vulnerability, excellence and Jesus make for a great recipe for life.

I hope you have a blessed long weekend.

Peace and joy,

Nathan Vande Hey
Principal

Bring in your deer pictures!

December 2nd, 2022|

We will have a bulletin board to highlight the successes of deer season at school. Send in pictures to be included on the board. Please note that pictures will be stapled, so a copy would be best! You can bring the pictures to your teacher or the office.

Monday is a N.U.T. Day!

November 18th, 2022|

Monday, November 21st will be a N.U.T. day in celebration for the success of the Papa Murphy Fundraiser! The students will also enjoy an ice cream treat as well for the combined efforts.

It was another SUCCESSFUL year for the Papa Murphy‘s Fundraiser!  The students sold just over $33,000 worth of pizzas, that is up about $3,000 from last year!  Amazing!  Holy Name’s Home & School will receive just over $11,500 of the proceeds!
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU to this year’s top selling students:
Layla Frizzell and Henry Trottier $1,316.00 EACH (Tied for 1st Place) – Mrs. Pangborn
Kinslee Gilbert – $938.00 – Mrs. Lightfoot

      The top selling classroom was Mrs. Pangborn’s class with $5,480.00! The classroom with the best percentage of participation (89%) was Ms. Cashen’s class! Each of these classrooms will receive a pizza party!!! Also, due to the FANTASTIC sales, the entire school has earned a NUT Day to be held at a future date.

All Crusader Bucks are going home with the students today, please check their backpacks and distribute the orders.
Thank you to parents and students and all who help make this fundraiser such a success each and every year!  Also, thank you to the volunteers that helped me count and tally the order forms!
Go Crusaders!
