The Brief Viau

August 27th, 2026|

A Few “Brief” Notes from the Principal

Hello Crusader Families!

It’s finally here… we’re headed back to school on Monday!  It was so good to see you at the Open House on Wednesday!  We had such a wonderful turnout for both Open Houses and we are so grateful to everyone who was able to attend.  We hope you were able to check out our locker room renovation while you were here.  I heard a lot of positive feedback regarding the amazing work the Knights of Columbus did.  We just can not thank them enough for all their hard work and talent as well as thanking you all for your donations throughout this project.

Thank you for being patient with us as we passed out the Open House packets and thank you for the wonderful feedback we received regarding them.  Please fill out the forms that need to be filled out and return them in the envelope on Monday.  There is also some information for you to keep at home too, so please pull those items out of the envelope before you return it.  We did notice there is a printing error on the Picture Day form and reached out to Memories Studio.  They apologize for the printing error and confirmed that Picture Day is September 9th.  The rest of the information on the picture form is correct and accurate.  We also apologize for the error and confusion.

Just a reminder that the doors will open at the Grade School on Monday at 7:45am and school starts at 8:15am.  The doors at the High School will open at 7:30am and school starts at 7:45am.  I can’t wait to see the hallways buzzing again with the sight of precious Holy Name students.  This is going to be a great year!

Have a great weekend!

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.
