A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

What an interesting week it’s been to say the least.  Never in all my years in education have I seen 5 snow days in a row, but they say there’s a first time for everything!  On top of those snow days, we also have a planned Professional Development Day today for staff and no school for students, so the students get an additional day off today while the teachers are busy learning more about our Classical Education curriculum that the schools in the Diocese of Marquette are blessed to offer in our Catholic schools, as well as other professional development topics.

This evening there is an Eighth Grade Parent meeting in the Library at 5pm for those wishing to learn more about the Eighth Grade class trip followed by the Fish Fry from 5:30-7:30pm in the Multi.  Mrs. Viau and I will be testing out our skills at the Fish Fry tonight while many of our High School students are on their Pilgrimage in Rome.  We have some mighty big shoes to fill tonight, but we’ll have fun trying!  We hope you can come out and join us in a great Fish Fry and probably some good laughs too!

Thank you so much for all your patience this week.  Please pray that those that are still snowed in can get out safely this weekend and that things can return to normal on Monday.  Also, please pray for safe travels for our Rome pilgrims and their chaperones.

God bless,
Mrs. Brief 😀

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

There’s not much to report this week due to the snow storm, except for a Rome Pilgrim update! Our crew was supposed to board a plane on Monday morning from Green Bay. That flight was cancelled and that got the ball rolling to make other arrangements. Long story short, our 11 students and 3 adults made a trip to Detroit at 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning, boarded their plane and are currently enjoying their time in Rome! If you want to see pictures and updates from their trip, please follow Holy Name School on Facebook! A huge shoutout to Julie and Mike Rexford for their countless hours working with ProRome Tours and airlines to get flights set up as well as Jeni Diebolt, Jackie Hastings and Nate Raiche who drove to Detroit to get the travelers to the airport.

Please keep all of our travelers in your prayers.

Have a great weekend!
