World Kindness Day

World Kindness Day is celebrated on Friday, November 13, 2020. This

coincides with Red Sweater Day in honor of Mr. Rogers, who was an advocate

for spreading kindness and acceptance to others.

Students and staff are invited to wear a red sweater with uniform bottoms this

Friday to support the kindness cause. Students will also have the opportunity

to send “Kindness-grams” to other students to spread kindness around our

school.

Remember to be kind!

HFS Annual Food Drive – Ending November 15

Holy Family School is holding its Annual Food Drive

which will end November 15. It is so important for

us to help and support our local food banks during

this time of year because we all have so many

blessings. The kids can bring in canned goods, rice,

beans, peanut butter, jelly, etc. and place them in

boxes in the main hallway.

Santa Pictures – November 18th

Students will be coming home with picture order forms today. Please make your selection and

send back with your child to school. These pictures with Santa will be next Wednesday, November

18th for Pre-K3 – 8th Grade.

Next Friday, November 20th at 1:30 pm, we will be honoring our Veterans in the Holy Family

small reception afterwards for Veterans.

Kendra Scott Gives Back

We are excited to welcome our newest faculty member, Ms. Katherine Campbell. She will be 8B’s homeroom teacher and will be teaching all

of middle school Grammar and Writing.

She is a graduate of ULL and has prior teaching experience with undergraduates. Her passion is writing and she is thrilled to have the

opportunity to work with our kids on understanding grammar basics, essay outlining, and how and when to use vocabulary properly.

Ms. Campbell has this to say about joining our HFS Family: “I am honored and excited to join the HFS family and have the opportunity to

positively influence students’ lives. I am both encouraged and inspired by the school’s dedication to ensuring that each student reaches their

full academic potential while also prioritizing their spiritual growth and capacity for compassion.”

3rd Grade Litany of Saints

In Religion, the 3rd Graders

were given the opportunity

to choose a saint and

research that saint. They

then created a portrait using

a symbol that represented

that particular saint. Their

creative work is on display in

the main hall for the entire

school to see.

2020 Christmas Program Important Information

This year’s Christmas program will look a little different as it has in past years. Each class will be

performing a song and you will have the opportunity to view the entire school performance

virtually. There will be a professional video available for pre-purchase at a cost of $7 per family. An

order form will be sent at a later date.

More information on this to come soon. Your child’s teacher may be contacting you in regards to

planned class attire for the program.

2nd Grade Election

On Tuesday, November 3rd, our 2nd Grade students held a mock election based

on the book “Grace for President.” The students explored what an election is,

the voting process, and what they can do to help until they are old enough to

vote. Each student was able to fill out a voter’s registration card before voting

for their favorite candidate. After voting, they put on the buttons they created

as well. Other grades also had the opportunity to vote.

Home & School Marketplace

We are so excited to have our Home and School Marketplace ready to receive orders! Your child

will be coming home with an order form this week. If you wish to place an order, please submit

the form with your payment and return it to school at any time. Orders will be filled each week as

stated on the form.

Supporting our local Veterans

Mrs. Jenna Landry organized the opportunity for some of our students to help make Veteran’s Day a little more special for some of our local Veterans. Our 3rd Graders made cards and

poppies to send to the Veteran’s at Legacy of Port Allen Nursing and Rehab Center. This was such a special way for our students to honor and make a difference in the lives of the Veterans in our

community.
