Gifts for Baby Jesus

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 28, 2016. 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, blankets, 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.

Advent Prayer Service

Each Monday during the season of Advent the 6th grade students will lead an "Advent Prayer Service" at 8:30 AM in the gym.

All Saints Day

Tuesday, November 1, 2016 is All Saints Day.  The students at Holy Name Catholic School (Kindergarten – 6^th grade) will dress up as a saint on Tuesday, November 1, 2016. Each student will research a saint during the month of October.  Students at Holy Name Catholic School (Kindergarten – 6^th grade) will attend Mass at 8:15 AM.  After Mass we will take a picture of our “saints” here at Holy Name Catholic School. Once the picture has been taken we will return to the gym and students will give a short presentation about their saint. After the saint presentations each student will receive a “snack” in the gym from PTO.

Everyone is invited to attend the saint presentations after Mass. This is such a wonderful learning experience for the students. Please come and learn about all the different saints.

Labels for Education

In the past few years participation in Labels for Education has declined and as a result, Campbell has come to the very difficult decision to wind down the LFE program. If you have any Labels for Education that you would like to turn in to Holy Name Catholic School, please do so by Friday, July 22, 2016. We would like to redeem as many labels as possible before the program ends.
