| 4/14/08 - Operation Candy Bars: We have a school-wide
goal to send 250 of our Kathryn Beich candy bars to a former student, Favian
Ramirez, who is serving with the Marines in Iraq. His last correspondence
with us thanked us for Valentine cards and told of the plight the Iraqi
children face. He enjoys giving the children he encounters candy and has
asked for nothing for himself! Once again a former student who is putting
what he learned here at Holy Family School into action! Pray for his safe
return and for that of all of our soldiers overseas! Candy Bar total as of 4/17/08 = 70 candy bars! 4/2/08 - Nathan Tissier - 2006 graduate of Holy Family School is participating in the Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering state level competition at the University of Illinois in April. Nathan was #1 in math and #3 in chemistry at the county competiton at DACC and then 4th or 5th in both at the regional competion held at Eastern Illinois University. While at Holy Family Nathan served in several officer positions on Student Council serving as President his 8th grade year, was an altar server, was always a high honor roll student, played on the basketball and scholastic teams, and holds the distinction of being the highest achieving student on our Accelerated Math program.
