All Saints Presentations

The students at Holy Name Catholic School (Kindergarten – 6th grade) will dress up as a saint on Friday, October 30, 2015. Each student will research a saint during the month of October.  Students at Holy Name Catholic School (Kindergarten – 6th 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. 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.
