Weekly School Broadcast Holy Spirit students along with Mr. Tuma are proud to be giving goods to The Landing this week in conjunction with Catholic Schools Week.
A week of fun and celebrating at school was had by all!! It would not be a Catholic Schools Week celebration without a snow day that students and staff got on Thursday! The theme was "Faith, Excellence, Service". We celebrated the community, students, the nation, vocations, and staff!! Students enjoyed the ever popular Non-Uniform Days, making cards/writing letters to our Priests and Deacons at Holy Spirit Church, Pax Christi Church, and to the retired Sisters at Assisi Heights! As a Service project, we collected items for The Landing, a homeless shelter for the Rochester area. Thanks for all of your donations!! Students, families, and staff shine bright at Holy Spirit School!! Thank you!!
God bless, Miss Heimer

Boys Hockey - Griffin Becher Athlete of the Week honors go to Boys Hockey player Jack Kleinschmidt Jack’s effort and consistency has been a key catalyst to our teams early success. This was on full display Friday evening when we were down by five goals at one point, and Jack’s intensity and relentless pursuit of the puck contributed to a come back which resulted in a 5-5 tie. Jack contributed four goals, but it’s been his commitment to never taking a shift off and rallying his teammates in all situations which makes him a great teammate.
