Holy Name Parish School

🌲 What a day at Camp Eisner! Our students had a great time today exploring the beautiful outdoor spaces in our outdoor classroom! Today brought so much fun and discovery: ✨ Team building activities, stream & aquatic exploration, fungi research, hiking adventures, splashing in the reservoir, and so much more! We were also happy to have Father Tom join us today!

Evening Magic 🔥 As the sun set, the fun didn't stop. We gathered around the traditional opening campfire. With flames dancing against the night sky, campers shared stories, and roasted marshmallows enjoying s'mores and other snacks. It was pure magic! ✨Today featured an impressive lineup: rock scrambling at Rock City with a scenic trek to Look Out Point, a low ropes course challenge, fishing, hiking, and water activities. The fun and memories continue at Camp Eisner!

You Have the Courage to Fly!
This week, our K1 and Grade 2 Buddy Classes came together to explore what courage really means, one of the character strong values that we have been working on this year. Each student decorated a feather and labeled something they need courage to do—whether it's trying something new, speaking up, or facing a challenge.

The feathers were arranged into a beautiful mural with a powerful message: "You Have the Courage to Fly!"🦅 What a fabulous collaborative project with a powerful message.

Feast of the Ascension and Buddy Mass: Today our school community gathered to celebrate the Feast of the Ascension with Father Tom officiating. Our sixth graders assisted with the liturgy, processing in with their nursery buddies and all buddy classes sat together. It was truly wonderful to witness these connections in action and to see how our school community supports one another across grade levels. We are truly blessed to have celebrated Jesus's Ascension into Heaven together as one faith community. 🙏✨
