Holy Family Academy doesn't have a school mascot, but if there was anything close to one it would be Chungus. Chungus is the beloved hamster that resides in Mrs. Endersby's grade 4 class. He is quite the celebrity and Mrs. Seibel's grade one class visited him this past week. Did you have a classroom pet when you were in school? If so what was it!? #HFAallTheWay #HFAschoolSpirit

Wednesday is Pajama Day at HFA. Pajamas are great for the Christmas Concert recording. Students are welcome to dress up for Holy Mass on Thursday.

Dear HFA Parents, We have made the decision to cancel tonight’s live Christmas Concert performance due to the Extreme Cold Warning that will persist overnight. Our primary concern is the safety of our students and families. We will be recording the entire Christmas Concert tomorrow afternoon, and will share a link on Thursday to view the concert. We will leave the link active until December 28th for you to view in the comfort and warmth of your homes. We thank Mrs. Deis and all the students for their hard work to prepare this concert, and we can’t wait for you to see it!
