Holy Name School News

There’s always something interesting happening at Holy Name School. On this page, we’ll post details about upcoming events, past activities, school awards, and much more—so bookmark this page and check back often!

Latin Club

We are excited to announce that we will be starting a new club. The Latin Club will meet every Monday from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. Under the direction of Deacon Maurice Ouellette, students will have a chance to learn from the language, read translations, and study culture. This club is open to students in grades 6 through 8. The first meeting will take place on October 2, 2023.

Free Lunch

We are excited to announce that all students at Holy Name School are now eligible to receive free lunches through Fall River Public Schools. Starting on Tuesday, October 3, students will have the option of a free hot lunch, cold lunch (sandwich), or salad and milk for lunch each day. We will also have an option of free breakfast for any students who attend before-school care in the morning.

This means we will no longer use our current vendors for lunches. Mrs. Krauzyk will continue to send out the menu, and you can submit the order through a form each week. These details will also be explained in an additional email, and a separate order form will go out later this week for the new free lunch program.

Please note that this program does not start until October 3. We will have pizza as an option for lunch on Monday, October 2.
