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 Halloween characters had a wonderful time. Thank you to Mrs. Casazza, Mrs. Chesterton, Miss Faux, Mrs. Magno, Miss Murphy and Mrs. Onorato!
• Mr. Waszak (coach) has attended the first meeting of our basketball league! Hopefully this great sport will be back soon. We are still looking for a cheerleading coach. If you are interested, call the office.
• The students in Grade 8 will be taking the TACH’s exam on November 6. We wish them well and know that each student will all get into the Catholic High School of his/her choosing. Thank you Miss Brown for making the week before the test full of “spirit” for our Middle School students. 
• Mrs. Perera along with a wonderful team of parents assisted Miss Ciminelli in making 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 30 the halls and the gym were filled with ghosts, ninjas, princesses and other creative characters celebrating Halloween.  Thank you Mrs. Perera, Mrs. Vargas, and our very busy PTL parents for a safe, fun and festive Halloween celebration! The “Trunk and Treat” was a huge hit!
