Greetings!
September 5, 2010
New School Sign
The new school street sign is completed, and we are grateful
to those who helped make it possible. We thank Wayne Booth and Melvin Hinton
from Bat Masonry who donated all the brick work. We thank Mark Maslow and Timmy
Colbird from the Southern Landscape Group for the donated landscaping. We thank
Tony and Scott McBride for the decorative and electronic components to the
sign. The McBride family has a long history with Holy Cross as all of the
children graduated from our school. We thank the City of Lynchburg for working
with us as we had some hurdles to climb with the school's zoning
assignment. We thank Fred Hickey from Hickey Electric for his services. We also
thank Ron Farringer for working with all of these supportive groups. Together
we can now enjoy electronic messages about our school and community! GO
GAELS!
Please join us in prayer as we remember Sister Roseann
Hitchens who recently passed away. Sr. Roseann was stationed at Holy Cross School for a
number of years and she served this school community with dignity and grace.
May her reward be great in Heaven.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is now underway and our goal for this year
is $150,000.00. Each school family will receive an information envelope about
the Annual Fund. Our school wide goal is to have 100% of our families,
faculty/staff and board members contribute to the fund. When we do this, we
send a powerful and compelling message to our other constituents about the
commitment we have to HolyCrossSchool and what it
means to us. The money we raise is a budgeted amount and we depend on it to
cover our remaining costs after tuition and subsidies. I believe, as do you,
that HolyCrossSchool is one of
the best investments any of us could make. With our trust in God and together
with all those who are so willing to support us, we will make it happen!
Virginia 10Miler Block Party
Make plans to join the
Virginia 10miler Holy Cross Block Party on September 25th. More info to

make their way down Langhorne and then on their journey towards the
finish line!
