Penny Wars proceeds brings Lumen Christi lambs to Holy Family classrooms.

Friday was an especially meaningful day at Holy Family Catholic School, as we welcomed two very special guests to our campus.

Through the generosity of our students and families during our recent Penny Wars initiative, Holy Family was able to sponsor two lambs named Joe and Leo from Lumen Christi Farm. At just two weeks old, these lambs visited each classroom, providing students and staff with a unique and engaging opportunity to encounter and appreciate the beauty of God’s creation in a tangible way.

This experience served as a valuable extension of our mission, fostering a sense of wonder, stewardship, and connection to the natural world among our students.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Deacon Dan Gray for his efforts in coordinating this visit, as well as to the team at Lumen Christi Farm for helping to make this memorable experience possible.

Celebrating a Faith-Driven Educator Making an Impact at Holy Family

Holy Family Catholic School is proud to celebrate Andrea Barington, our Physical Education teacher and Middle School Health teacher, who has been named a 2026 Golden Apple Educator of Distinction. This well-deserved honor recognizes outstanding educators who make a lasting impact on students through excellence, dedication, and heart. Mrs. Barington embodies all of that and more.

Mrs. Barington is known for her boundless energy, positivity, and genuine care for every student in the school. She challenges students to grow not only in physical strength and healthy habits, but also in confidence, perseverance, faith, and character.

Faith  serves as a steady touchstone in all that Mrs. Barington does. She lives our values daily through kindness and encouragement. She creates an environment where students feel supported and seen.
