Holy Name of Mary  

Catholic School

Dear Holy Name of Mary Families,

Let’s start the month of November with an attitude of gratitude!  We are so thankful for the many wonderful things that took place during the month of October. 

• Early Childhood Literacy Night was a huge success! I think all of our little Sea Creatures had a wonderful time. Thank you to Mrs. Gallo, Mr. Fraser, Mrs. Onorato, Miss Nowicki, Mrs. Magno and Miss David!

• Mrs. Gallo and Miss David are facilitating the Math Club for our younger students. The students are enjoying every session. Combine some fun with learning and that equals success!

• Mrs. Darcy has started working with our fabulous artists in Art Club. I can’t wait to see what they create this year!

• Mr. Waszak has been practicing with the boys’ basketball team. We are looking forward to cheering, with our cheerleaders, for them in December. (first home game December 10)

•  The play “Aladdin.” has been cast, and Mrs. Powell, Miss Hahl and Mrs. O’Connor have already started rehearsing with the students. 

• The IOWA’s, Cogats, and the most popular of tests, the Catholic High School Entrance Exams are complete. Our students were well prepared. Thank you to Miss Ohlandt and all the teachers who proctored the Cogat’s and the IOWA’s. 

• Ms. Llewelyn and Mrs. Stoney, assisted by a several PTL parents, worked very hard to make the Scholastic Book Fair a success. The students enjoyed the book selection and because of the enthusiasm of the shoppers, we will be able to purchase more books with our Scholastic Dollars.

• On Saturday, October 26 the halls and the gym were filled with ghosts, ninjas, princesses and other creative characters celebrating Halloween.  Thank you Mrs. Perera, Mrs. John, Ms. Llewelyn and our very busy PTL parents for a safe, fun and festive Halloween celebration!
