Brief Viau

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

What a busy week it was at Holy Name Catholic School this week!  We had two beautiful Spring Music concerts put on by our 1st-4th graders and our 5th-12th graders.  Mr. and Mrs. Ellis did it again as the band and choir students were amazing!  It’s so great to hear the growth from where they started in August to where they are now.  Year one of “Bringing Back the Band” and our choral program was very successful.  We’re blessed to have the Ellis’ as part of the Holy Name Family.

Our middle and high school track and field teams have been busy this season and have made wonderful progress.  Many have made new personal best records and several have earned medals.  Coach Luke, Coach Keith, and Mr. Derkos awarded many of the team members with medals during Convo the last couple of weeks.  Congratulations to them all as they are wrapping up their season.

Thursday was a special day for our Seniors as many returned to Holy Name for a beautiful Mass led by Father Tim and Deacon Bob.  Afterwards they all enjoyed some fun games and camaraderie in the gym and then ended with a special nacho lunch.  We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.  Thursday was the last day of school for our Holy Name High School students and we miss them already.  Their Graduation Ceremony will be on Friday, May 29th at 6pm at St. Anne’s Church.  You’re all welcome to come celebrate with us!

Have a great weekend and God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

 


 

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Hello Crusader Family!

This seemed like the busiest week so far this year! It was the senior’s last week and we took some time to celebrate with them. On Tuesday, we had a cookout and some games in the afternoon and Wednesday, Mrs. Bink provided all of the fixings for a Pancake Art Breakfast! It’s safe to say that the seniors will be missed by all of us.

An email went home to all of the high school parents this week regarding next week’s High School Awards Night. This will take place on Thursday, May 21 at 6:00 p.m. at St. Anne’s Parish in the hall. If you haven’t gotten the email please let me know. Remember to RSVP so that I can get a headcount.

The school year is winding down. Please remember that you can check your child’s academic progress in the FACTS Management system. I encourage you all to do this so that you can see if there are missing assignments or if you need to have a conversation with a teacher.

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!
