Special Thank You!
Thanks go out to Pat and Karl Rony for a wonderful PTO 2010 - 2011 Directory! Thank you both for your hard work pulling together the information and for personally typing, organizing, printing, and spiral binding over 200
directories.  All families should have received a copy in their brown envelope.

More Great News to Share ...
    In addition to William Loftus who was named a National Merit Semifinalist on September 15, Holy Cross Regional Catholic School just received notification on another student's academic prowess.
   Congratulations to Tanya Arthornsombat who received a Lett
er of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Program for her outstanding performance on the PSAT in 2009.   Last year, 1.6 million juniors took the PSAT, and only 34,000 nationwide received the Letter of Commendation. 
   Both Tan
ya Arthornsombat as a Commended Student and William Loftus as a National Semifinalist should be congratulated on this prestigious academic honor.

From John Jones
I'd like to share with you a letter I received from Sister Claire Debes, a Daughter of Charity and a former administrator at Holy Cross School. I had written to the Daughters of Charity expressing the school's sympathy with the passing of Sr. Roseann Hitchens, also a Daughter and former Holy Cross School principal.  Click on this link to read the letter:
