Family Math Night

Family Math Night will be at 6:00 PM on Thursday, December 3, 2015 at Holy Name Catholic School Gym.

The intent of Family Math Night is to participate in math standards in action as we strengthen the mathematical application, problem solving and communication skills of students through the power of family interaction.

We encourage you to continue to support your child's mathematical growth through your participation in Family Math Night.

Gifts for Baby Jesus Project

This year during the Advent season, we are planning on placing the “manger” in the hall (near the office) of the school starting on Monday, November 30, 2015. It will remind the students as they enter the building each day that we are preparing for the “birth” of Jesus Christ our Savior.

If students would like to bring baby gifts to place around the manger, they could do so as their gift to Mary and baby Jesus. They could bring socks, rattles, diapers, onesies, make a card, etc as possible gift ideas. Prior to dismissing for Christmas break, we would ask a representative from the Midwest Pregnancy Center here in Coffeyville to come to the school to accept the gifts that the students brought. The students can feel the joy of “giving” to others.

Each Monday the 6th grade students will lead a prayer service for Advent. The prayer service will begin at 8:30 AM in the gym. Everyone in the parish is invited to attend.

PTO Meeting

PTO meeting -- Holy Name Catholic School PTO next meeting will be Tuesday, November 17th at 7:00 PM. There will be a guest speaker that evening. Barbara Ames, Family Consumer Science Agent from Wildcat Extension District in Independence will present on "Rate your snack". This is an interactive program and if parents/parishioners have particular packaged snacks they would like to bring to include in the snacks we will be rating, that would be awesome.  We will be reading Nutrition Facts Labels and Ingredients Labels, as well as checking out packaging claims to decide how various snacks and beverages rate. Additionally, we will discuss food groups and how well planned snacks can add a powerful punch to a healthy eating plan. Everyone in the parish is invited to attend.
