If you walked into Finn Hall yesterday, you may have thought you had walked into the Majestic Theatre downtown. Miss Maturo’s classroom performed their production of “Underwater Adventures,” a play the students wrote themselves.

Fifth grade ELA had a special guest instructor today. Mr. Richard English, Ms. English’s father, visited the 5th grade to discuss his time as a naval aviator. He taught students about the navy, various aircraft, life aboard an aircraft carrier, and the science behind aviation.

This week students really enjoyed art classes in the redesigned Art Studio. The new furniture is comfortable, flexible, and fits students from nursery to sixth grade. Congratulations to Ms. Buckley for being one of four national winners in the contest sponsored by ABC and Abbott Elementary. We are grateful to WCVB for featuring Holy Name and the new Art Studio on Monday.

It was a busy day at Holy Name yesterday. In the morning, students completed some basketball-themed math activities as part of our “Math Madness” and then teams of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders took to the hardwood afterschool for Student Council’s second annual March Madness basketball tournament.

This afternoon Student Council sponsored a Pep Rally to celebrate our basketball teams and honor our 6th grade players. We even had a special guest – Fr. Denis!

We marked the beginning of Lent with Mass sponsored by the fourth grade on Wednesday. On their way to Mass that morning, one of the fourth grade classes left me a special gift. In religion, they had written and illustrated their own Book of Psalms; an idea suggested by a student after reading one of the psalms.

The glimpse of spring has been a welcome sight. Let’s hope it lasts. On the Friday before break, we announced a big batch of Eagle recipients. Those awards helped us fill our bulletin board.

Recipients were announced during morning assembly and they are listed in the Eagle Awards section below.
