Catholic Schools Week
 
Catholic Schools Week was celebrated with a variety of events this year.  This included time spent with classroom Buddy Rooms to design badges for Mass, a Spirit Day where all students and faculty dressed in glue and gold, a special luncheon for the teachers and treats for the students, 8th graders attending a city-wide Mass at the Cathedral with other 8th graders, and a family pancake dinner featuring the Pancake Man.  It culminated with an all school Mass on Friday, the elders breakfast served by the 8th grade, and the annual 8th grade vs. teachers volleyball game!  Thanks to everyone who helps make Holy Cross a wonderful place to be!

Holy Cross Open House
 
Holy Cross began Catholic Schools Week on Sunday, January 27th with 11:00 A.M. Mass celebrated by Fr. Salanitro.  Following Mass an Open House was held from noon until 2:00 P.M. to "show and tell" the wonderful things that are happening at Holy Cross.  Many people toured the school, visiting with teachers, students, and representatives of the Home and School and School Board.   Thanks to all for their hard work!

Operation Giving
 
Under the leadership of the Student Congress Holy Cross students made Christmas much brighter for others.  Over $1,400 was raised to help purchase groceries and Christmas gifts for the needy.  A "toliet tree" in the main hall was decorated with tolietry products brought in by the students for residents of County Hospital.  A big thank you to all for your generosity!

Food Collection for the Food Bank

 

This year our Student Congress, under the direction of Mrs. Edinger, coordinated a food drive for the Food Bank.  All classes showed their generosity by filling two trucks with food for the needy.  Thank you, students and parents, for your generous response to this need.

6th Graders Perform with Ron Cooley!
 
Again this year our 6th graders had a special privilege.  They all learned to play the guitar under the instruction of Mrs. Hall, our music teacher, and Ron Cooley, a member of Mannheim Steamroller.  After weeks of instruction, the guitarists held two performances under Mr. Cooley's direction on Tuesday, March 6th.   Bravo, 6th graders!  And a big thank you to Mrs. Hall and Mr. Cooley for making such a wonderful opportunity possible at Holy Cross!

River City Roundup Lassos in Students
On Friday September 28th Holy Cross School celebrated River City Roundup with dancing and singing in Mercy High School's gym.  Students in 1st through 8th grades performed square dances and songs they had practiced with Mrs. Hall, our music teacher.  Parents were not only spectators but participants as well.  Thank you, Mrs. Hall, for all your preparation to make this a fun event for all.  And a special thanks to our good neighbors, Mercy High School, for sharing their wonderful space with us!
