Holy Cross Celebrates Rivercity Round-up! On September 29th, Holy Cross students participated in Rivercity Round-up. This semi annual event celebrates the history of Omaha and the people who settled here.The 2nd through 6th grade students dance to Irish, Mexican, Italian, and Polish Dances, as well as the traditional American square dances. We also sing "Home on the Range", "Jimmy Crack Corn", "I've Been Working on the Railroad", "Clementine", "This Land is Your Land", and "Omaha". While we are singing, "She'll Be comin' round the Mountain", the 1st grade students gallop around the gym with their stick ponies. We end with the 7th and 8th grade students doing the Texas line dance. A great time was had by all. Ye Ha!
Blessing of the School On Friday, September 2, Fr. Salanitro blessed every classroom and learning space at Holy Cross School. He offered a prayer of blessing and then sprinkled the teachers, the students and the rooms with Holy Water. When asked to reflect on the event, here is how some of our 8th graders responded: "It was nice that Father took the time to come into all of our classrooms." --Sophie Knoblauch 8B "I felt the Holy Spirit's presence in the room." --Nolan Kosmicki 8B "It is going to be a reminder to me that the Lord is present in our classroom." --Will Danze 8A "Every time I am taking a test, I will remember that Father came in and blessed the room, so God is watching over us." --Mary Engelbert 8A
