HOLY CHILDHOOD CATHOLIC SCHOOL

Catholic Schools Week is almost here! We’re excited for a week of faith, community, and plenty of fun. While the themed days and activities always bring great energy, the heart of the week is our commitment to service. As we focus on our community projects, our students are reminded that to “Shine Like Stars” means putting our faith into action and lifting others up. We look forward to celebrating all that makes our Catholic school family special! Please take a look at everything below and reach out if you have any questions.

Big fun. Big smiles. Big help needed!

One of Holy Childhood School’s most beloved traditions is back—Munchkin Basketball Night! Our Kindergarten–3rd grade students will hit the court in fast-paced, 30-minute games, cheered on by family and friends and coached by our 8th graders. It’s a night full of laughter, school spirit, and unforgettable memories.

While the games are underway, we’ll also be hosting our Fish Fry Fundraiser in the cafeteria to support our Athletic Department. Funds raised help provide gym banners, uniforms, tournament fees, and coaching support—resources that directly impact our students and programs.

Here’s where YOU come in.

We are asking parents, grandparents, and friends of Holy Childhood to volunteer for this special evening. Volunteer shifts are scheduled around game times, so you can lend a hand and still cheer on your child without missing a moment.

Many hands make light work—and an amazing night for our kids.

Whether you can help serve food, assist in the kitchen, or support behind the scenes, every volunteer makes a difference.

Don’t sit on the sidelines—join the team!

Thank you for helping make Munchkin Basketball Night a huge success. We truly couldn’t do it without you!

1. Congratulations to our girls' basketball team for winning the Belleville Diocesan Championship this past Sunday. A great crowd and lots of support showed up for HCS!

2. The girls are now in the SIJHSAA Championship at Holy Trinity tonight at 6:00 PM. It will be a great game so come out and support them if you are able!

3. No rest given as our seasons overlap and we transition to volleyball season.

We highly encourage all of you to join. Click HERE for instructions.

And don't fret if you are not one of the leaders. It's not about winning, but about having opportunities (no matter how big or small) to get away from our tablets and screens!

And remember, we will start over in May!

On our Google Form last week, someone suggested adding "Chores" to our missions. ADDED!!

As tax season approaches, I am attaching a form on how to obtain your tax information through FACTs. If you do have any questions, reach out to Mrs. Elmore.

Please Note the Following:

Again, because of the popularity of the Thursday Club, along with Ms. Amann's hard work, we are at max capacity for the Art Club (total of 50 students). We do have children that are on a waiting list that desire to be a part of the experience.

Therefore, we are asking that, if you are part of that 50 that signed up at the beginning, we ask that you commit to the 8 weeks, which does not include Catholic Schools Week. We do understand sickness and the occasional transportation issue. But we want to keep it fair for the children that are on the waiting list.

If you are unable to commit, we ask that you contact Ms. Amann so we can go to the waiting list.

Thank you for your understanding. We are very proud of this opportunity and how much it has grown in less than a year.
