Eagle Stay & Play Canceled on June 24 Due to Playground Construction

New Playground Coming Soon to Holy Family School & Preschool

We want to let our Holy Family School and Parish families know that our Eagle Stay & Play event, originally scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, has been canceled due to ongoing playground construction.


While we were excited to welcome families for a morning of fun and connection, the safety of our students, families, and guests always comes first. With active construction happening on campus, we are pausing this event until the work is complete.


The great news? Our brand-new playground is underway and will be ready in time for the 2025–26 school year! This project will enhance our outdoor learning and play environment, giving students a space to grow, explore, and build friendships.


We are working on rescheduling the Eagle Stay & Play event and will share a new date as soon as it’s safe to gather near the playground again. Be sure to follow us on social media or check our website for updates.


Thank you for your support and understanding as we improve our campus for current and future Eagles. We can’t wait to invite you back to celebrate the new space once it’s ready!
