Dear Parents,

We have finally made it to the end of the year! It has been a really busy year, but I am grateful for the fact that we have remained open all year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support throughout the year. I am very fortunate to work at Holy Name and with its community and I look forward to working with many of you again next year.

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.

Thank You
