Dear Holy Cross Family and Friends,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of Heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2: 13-14
As we enter the holiday season, I wish God's many blessings on you and your family. I thank you for the warm welcome I have received at Holy Cross School, and I look forward to a New Year filled with joy and prosperity for our school community. We truly have angels in our faculty and staff, and we thank you for allowing us the privilege of working with your children as they strive to reach their full potential. There is much to celebrate at this fantastic school!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wednesday: Crazy Outfit Day
Did your mom give you the craziest or most colorful outfit ever for Christmas? If so, here is your chance to make her happy and wear it to school. Wear the silliest coordination of shirts, pants, shoes, socks and hats. Tuck those pant legs into your socks- we won't care!

On Green & White day, wear your school colors and show off your school pride. Students who are on a team or in a Spirit organization will commonly wear their uniforms or team T-shirts on this day.
