Dear Parents: Welcome to a new school year! I trust you had a fantastic summer and are ready for an amazing 2010-2011 school year. There is a lot of excitement about things happening at Holy Name Catholic School. We had a wonderful turn out at our Holy Name Golf Tournament. Thank you to all who participated, as well as volunteers who gave countless hours make this event a huge success. It was a joy to see the community, teachers, and students pull together for our little (but mighty) school. The HNCS Carnival and Chili Supper is just around the corner.

This year we are excited to announce that primary grades will have Spanish instruction. It is no secret that Holy Name has an exceptional community filled with committed teachers, staff, and stakeholders. I am thankful to be part of the Sheridan community.
