Brief Viau

April 23rd, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

What a beautiful week it has been!  Thank you all so much for coming out to the Spring Fling, making donations and/or volunteering your time!  It was a wonderful event and we were able to raise money for our school and our students.  If you were at the Spring Fling, you saw the awesome debut of the video our Marketing Director, Vicki LaFave, put together featuring our Holy Name students and staff.  If you missed it, it will be shared on social media and our website soon.  It’s a beautiful demonstration of who we all came together to support as we continue our Mission to help our students live as children of God.  A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Jane Arts and Mr. Tony Derkos as they did an amazing job co-chairing our Spring Fling and another big thank you to Mrs. Vicki LaFave for putting together such a wonderful video.

As the weather is getting warmer, a reminder that boys’ and girls’ shorts, as well as girls’ skirts, must be no higher than 2″ above the knee.  If a student is wearing shorts or a skirt that is too short, we will provide them with appropriate bottoms if we have their size in our uniform closet.  If we don’t have their size, parents will be called to bring the students an appropriate pair of uniform bottoms.  Students will need to sit in the office until the parent arrives so that they are not a distraction to others trying to learn.  We understand that children grow fast and we have a collection of uniforms at both schools for parents and students to shop through.  If you do not have anyone to pass a uniform down to, please consider paying it forward by donating uniforms that no longer fit to the school so that another family can take advantage of your kindness.

I pray you all have a blessed weekend.

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

 


 

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Hello Crusader Family!

I’d be remiss if I didn’t start out by saying what a great success the Spring Fling was this past Saturday! The prizes, raffle items, food and fellowship made for a great evening! This fundraiser is valuable in the day to day operations of our entire school and meeting our yearly financial needs.  Thank you for your support.

This week, the 9th and 10th grade students took the PSAT and CLT exams. All standardized testing is done for this year for all of the high school grades. We’re all relieved about that!

Don’t forget about tonight’s Pasta Dinner. It will be held from 5:30-7:30 in the multipurpose room and this year’s Rome Pilgrims will be there to share about their trip. This is also a fundraiser for the next Rome Pilgrimage. I hope to see you all there.

Please continue to encourage your kids to keep up with their homework. The end is near, we know, but we need to stay on track. These kids are working so hard; let’s finish strong!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

God Bless,

Mrs. Viau
