Holy Family’s Comet Dash: Fun, Faith, and Community

Comet Energy Meets Community Heart

Holy Family School was buzzing with energy, excitement, and Comet pride during this year’s Comet Dash. The event was a joyful celebration of our students, our school, and the incredible community that supports them.

Students gave it their all as they ran, cheered, and encouraged one another, showing determination, teamwork, and school spirit every step of the way. Laughter echoed throughout the Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center at the St. Norbert College campus as teachers and parents joined in the fun. The spirited atmosphere served as a powerful reminder that great things happen when we come together.

Thanks to the generosity of families, friends, and supporters near and far, the Comet Dash was a tremendous success as a fundraiser. The funds raised will go directly toward enhancing our school environment and enriching student experiences helping us continue to provide an exceptional Catholic education rooted in faith, service, and academic excellence.
