From design to launch! 🌊⛵ Our 3rd and 4th grade students put their engineering and problem-solving skills to work as they built and tested their own waʻa while learning about the incredible art of Polynesian wayfinding. Through hands-on exploration, they discovered how voyagers navigated the Pacific using the stars, ocean, and environment.
💙⏰In just one month, our campus will come alive once again.
Hallways will fill with laughter. Book Buddies will reunite. New friendships will begin. Teachers will welcome each child by name, and another year of learning, growth, and discovery will be underway.
At Holy Nativity School, we believe education is about more than academics. It’s about building confidence, nurturing character, inspiring curiosity, and creating a community where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to become their personal best.
This is The HNS Way.
As we look ahead to a new school year, we can’t wait to welcome both familiar and new faces to our campus.
If you’re still searching for a school where your child will be truly known and supported, we’d love to meet your family. Schedule a personalized tour and discover what makes Holy Nativity School such a special place to learn, grow, and belong.

Tearing, blending, squishing, pressing... and creating! 🌸♻️
Our 3rd and 4th grade creators turned recycled paper into one-of-a-kind handmade masterpieces, adding dried flowers and natural materials along the way. Part art, part science, and a whole lot of messy fun.
Who knew yesterday’s scraps could become today’s artwork?

🥚💥 Will it survive?!
Our 3rd and 4th grade inventors spent the week taking on the classic Egg Drop Challenge. Armed with recycled materials, big ideas, and a little bit of courage, they designed, built, tested, tweaked, and tested again before the final drop.
Some eggs flew. Some bounced. Some... became breakfast. 😆
Along the way, students learned that great engineering is all about creativity, problem-solving, and not giving up when your first design doesn’t quite crack the challenge.
