Holy Cross Regional Catholic School E-Crossette
  August 22, 2010

Greetings!


From Our Principal:
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
I try to make this prayer my first thought each day as we can choose to fill our days with rejoicing. We have much to celebrate at Holy Cross Regional Catholic School - dedicated teachers, talented students, diligent staff members and supportive families.  As I begin my tenure as Principal, I am delighted to feel the power of these forces coming together so that we can have a wonderful school year.  
 
Our teachers began professional development days on Monday, August 16 and worked hard in preparation to welcome students back to school on Monday, August 23.  I look forward to hearing the hallways fill with the joy of learning in a supportive community.  With the knowledge that we will make this school year one of rejoicing, I wish you the best over the final days of summer.

Volunteers Still Needed!
If you can help out in the kitchen during any lunch period, please contact Patti Kese at pkcskc@aol.com. The more folks we have, the less each of us has to do!

LUNCH MONDAY AND TUESDAY, AUGUST 23RD AND 24TH
Please remember that elementary students need to pack a lunch with drink, utensils, and napkins for the first two days of school.  Middle and High students should bring a substantial snack since they have no lunch period due to 1:35 dismissal times.

Scrip
Help raise money for the school by placing a scrip order.  Check out the new order form in the front office. I will place orders every Monday and return them on Friday.  We accept Visa, Master Card, Cash and Checks.  Order today!

I hope everyone has had a great summer, and that you all managed to get in your summer reading! Elementary students: please turn in your reading logs this week if you have completed them. (There are extra sheets available in the library.) All logs must be turned in by Monday, August 30th!  Students who have reached the goal and turned in their reading record will be invited to our "Treasure Hunt" fun day on Wednesday, September 8th.
