Dear Families of Holy Name,

We are headed into the winter break. This will hopefully help with all the sickness here at school. We have students and families battling influenza A, pneumonia, fevers, coughs, sore throats, Fifth disease, and probably an assortment of others.

There are area schools that needed to shut down due to illness. Just some friendly reminders:

  • Wash your hands regularly
  • Get plenty of rest
  • Keep hydrated
  • Do not return to school until your child is 24 hours fever free without medication
  • Do not share water bottles or other beverage containers

I hope you have a restful weekend. I hope the volleyball and basketball games go well for everyone. On February 11, the teachers will be learning from educator and author Jason Barney. It will help us to delve deeper into classical education. He is a great presenter and I am confident our teachers will benefit. That trickles down to your child and they too will be blessed.

Peace and joy,

Nathan Vande Hey
Principal
