Dear parents/guardians,
St. Valentine was believed to be a priest (or possibly a bishop) in Rome during the third century. Under Emperor Claudius II marriages for young men were banned, as it was thought that single men made better soldiers. Valentine defied this decree and continued to perform Christian marriages in secret. For this, he was arrested and later executed on February 14, around 269 AD.
According to some stories, while imprisoned he healed the jailer's blind daughter and before his execution, sent a note to her and signed it "Your Valentine," which may have contributed to the modern tradition of exchanging love notes.
This Friday students may wear appropriate Valentine Day attire to celebrate this special day.
The HFCS school board has voted to increase tuition for the 2026-27 school year to $5,400 for students in K-8 grade. Students who were enrolled in FEEP will be automatically enrolled again for the 2026-27 school year which will give an estimated 15% deduction off tuition per student in K-8 grade. If you opt out it will not affect your child's education experience nor their enrollment status at Holy Family; however, it will prevent you from receiving a tuition reduction and it will prevent us from receiving funding for which your child is eligible. Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions you may have.
Catholic families are encouraged to visit their registered parish to determine whether they qualify for tuition subsidies for students in grades K–8. Families may be registered and actively involved in only one of the four local Catholic parishes. Click HERE for more information on financial aid and parish subsidy options.
Emails with instructions to re‑register your student and enroll a sibling will be sent out later this week or next.
God bless,
Mr. Aubert
