“Your presence is a precious gift to us.”

Those heartfelt words from the residents of Cottonwood Manor Assisted Living beautifully captured the impact of a recent visit from students of Holy Family Catholic School.

In the spirit of the Christmas season, members of the Holy Family Leadership Club partnered with students across all grades to create handmade Christmas cards for the residents of Cottonwood Manor. Once completed, the Leadership Club personally delivered the cards, turning a simple project into a meaningful encounter for students and residents alike.

During their visit, students had the opportunity to spend time with residents sharing smiles, conversation, and genuine connection. The visit concluded with students and residents joining together to sing familiar Christmas tunes, filling the space with warmth, joy, and the sounds of the season.

Through this experience, our students lived out Christ’s call to reach out to those in need. They learned that even small acts like a homemade card or a short visit can make a profound difference in the life of someone who may be feeling lonely, particularly during the Christmas season. It was a powerful reminder that presence, kindness, and compassion are some of the greatest gifts we can share.

We are grateful to our Leadership Club, our students, and the residents of Cottonwood Manor for making this visit such a meaningful celebration of faith, service, and community during the Christmas season.

The Holy Family community witnessed a heartwarming tradition during today’s All School Mass that continues to shape our school culture. Our Eighth Grade Leadership students sat with their first-grade buddies, offering steady guidance, warm support, and a shared experience of faith and prayer.

The entire student body gathered today at St. Agnes Parish to worship together. Pairing older and younger students creates opportunities for meaningful connection while helping our first graders feel comfortable and included, and giving our eighth graders a chance to model leadership, kindness, and responsibility.

Strenghthening relationships across grade levels helps our students live our faith in practical, heartfelt ways. Seeing our oldest students accompany our youngest reminds us why we value community so deeply at Holy Family.

Mrs. Phillips’ seventh grade scientists put their curiosity to work this week during a Pumpkin in a Jar lab. Each student carved a pumpkin and then sealed it in a glass jar to create a miniature ecosystem. Students will have the opportunity to observe the transformation as the pumpkins move through the stages of decay and eventually new growth.
