Holy Name students hear from author

 Sixth- through eighth-graders at Holy Name School in Omaha heard about the need for persistence and hard work from an author of books about Notre Dame University’s 1924 national championship football team and its coach, Knute Rockne.

Jim Lefebvre of Minneapolis told students Oct. 24 that in addition to hard work, Rockne led by putting the needs of others before his own.

Lefebvre won Independent Publisher Book Awards for the books, "Coach for a Nation, The Life and Times of Knute Rockne," and "Loyal Sons: The Story of The Four Horsemen and Notre Dame Football’s 1924 Champions."
