The Brief Viau

September 11th, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

We had a wonderful week at school this week with lots of special moments.  We started by celebrating Mother Mary’s birthday on Tuesday.  Then, Wednesday was picture day and I heard many compliments regarding the new photographer, Memories Studio.  On Thursday we had an amazing turnout for Grandparent’s Day Mass!  Thank you to all of the grandparents and special guests that attended our special Mass and celebrated with us in the Multi afterwards.  Father Rob and Deacon Bob blessed us with a beautiful Mass and then blessed our updated locker rooms and gym.  It was nice to recognize the Knights of Columbus for all of their hard work this summer and to thank everyone who donated time, talent, materials, sweat, or money.  Holy Name is very grateful and blessed.

Yesterday we started out in convo by praying for all those who lost their lives on 9/11, those that survived, and the families of all those affected on Patriot’s Day.  Prayers and lessons continued throughout the day as each class prayed and learned about the devastating event that happened 25 years ago.  May God bless them all.

Crusader Friday was amazing yesterday!  My heart was filled with joy and pride when I saw so many students and staff wearing Crusader shirts.  We had Convo in the gym today, and when you looked across the bleachers, there was so much green and white.  It’s awesome to see such great school pride.  Every Friday some of our staff members will be attempting to make half court shots.  If they make the basket, the students at the Grade School will get a N.U.T. Day reward.  Last year it took until almost Christmas before a basket was made, but Father Rob almost sank one on the first day!  The students get so excited and chant the adult’s name.  The sights and sounds bring chills to your arms.  It’s the little things in life that bring so much joy and happiness.

I pray that you all have a fabulous weekend.  We are looking forward to our first full week of school next week!

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

Where Does Spring Fling Money Go?

April 23rd, 2026|

— Jane Arts / Alumni & Advancement

Where Does Spring Fling Money Go? Students were asking me this last week as they helped move chairs, set tables, and haul bins up and down the stairs. The simple answer is: Spring Fling helps keep tuition more affordable for your family.

But what does that really mean? Where does it fit into the budget?

Spring Fling proceeds go into the General Fund. The General Fund isn’t flashy or tied to a single project like a locker room campaign or a tuition assistance drive. Instead, it quietly supports the everyday needs that keep the school running—things like utilities, supplies, staffing, and all the behind-the-scenes essentials that make everything else possible.

So, while it may not feel glamorous to raise money for the electric bill or an extra ream of copy paper, it is the steady, dependable fund that keeps the school running strong every single day.

And that’s exactly why your support matters. Because of Spring Fling, the doors stay open, the lights stay on, and our students have a place to learn, grow, and thrive. It may not be flashy, but it is essential, and it – and you – made a real difference.

Thank you for a successful Spring Fling 2026! 💚💙💚

From the Home and School Association

April 23rd, 2026|

It’s that time of year again—elections for open positions on the Home & School Board will be held at our next meeting on May 13 at 5:30 PM in the library conference room.

The positions up for election this year include:

  • Vice President
  • Treasurer
  • Parent Representative #2

These roles are currently held by Jessica Nolde, Shannon Dutkavich, and Megan Haas, and each position carries a two-year term.

If you are interested in being considered for any of these positions, please reach out to Jacquelyn Trask-Rahn at jacquelyn.rahn@gmail.com or via text at 906-399-6640.

If you’d like to learn more about Home & School or what these roles involve, we encourage you to connect as well. We would love to see more parents get involved—whether that means running for a position or simply shadowing a role to learn more.

With several current board members having children moving on to high school in the next 1–2 years, this is a great opportunity to get involved and help support a smooth transition for the future of the organization.
