Brief Viau

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

This week went by very quickly as everyone was excited to get back into school after all those blizzard/snow days.  We were able to practice our Extreme Weather Drill (Tornado Drill) on Tuesday.  The Middle School girls volleyball team recently wrapped up their season while Middle and High School Track is just getting underway.  It was nice to see the halls and classrooms full and busy again.  Next week they will be empty one more time as we have Spring Break March 30th-April 6th.  School resumes on Tuesday, April 7th.

Even though it doesn’t feel like it, it’s officially Spring!  Which means our Spring Fling is just around the corner on Saturday, April 18th.  If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, please use this link to order them now:

https://holynamespringfling.maxgiving.bid/tickets

We are also in need of gift cards, bottles of wine, and items for our raffles.  Please feel free to drop off donations during our office hours or contact Jane Arts at 906-786-7550 x202 or alumni@holynamecrusaders.com to arrange a drop off or pick up time during Spring Break or after school hours.  We appreciate your support and donations as we prepare for our biggest fundraiser of the year!

I pray that you all have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing Spring Break as well as a Blessed Easter!

God bless,

Mrs. Brief 😀

 


 

A “Viau” from the Headmaster

Hello Crusader Family!

Today is our LAST fish fry of the year! We’ve had such a great turnout each week and would love to finish strong. Please come and support this year’s freshmen and sophomores in raising money for their Rome Pilgrimage. Speaking of the Rome Pilgrimage, I hope you’ve been able to see the updates on our Holy Name Facebook page from our juniors and seniors that are on their trip.  What an amazing experience they’ve had! They will be heading home today after a fantastic pilgrimage. Prayers for their safe trip home are much appreciated.

It’s hard to believe that after spring break we will be starting our final quarter of the year! I am confident that our students will work hard to finish the year strong but I know that we’re all a little ready for a break. I hope you all have a wonderful spring break and that you enjoy every minute of it!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

God Bless,

Mrs. Viau
