Prayer Request from Patti Culbreth
Most of you are aware of the recent major flooding that has occurred in Australia. One of our Holy Cross families, the Quinn family, has been particularly affected by this tragedy. The Quinns' house and business in Australia were spared; however, many of their friends suffered great losses. In a period of only 24 hours, more than 25,000 homes and 3,000 businesses were damaged or destroyed, many of these in the Quinns' old neighborhood. We ask the Holy Cross community to pray for the Quinns, their friends and other residents of Brisbane during these extremely difficult times.
Congratulations to Meghann Hansen and William Loftus, members of the Holy Cross Public Forum Debate Team, who took first place this Friday at the Southwest Virginia Forensic League meet at E.C. Glass High School.
Congratulations also go out to the Middle School Girl's Basketball Team as they won the "B" Tournament at Faith Christian Academy this weekend. Sarah Laurent was named to the All-Tournament Team and Jessie Kleiner was named MVP. Way to go Gaels !!
Catholic Schools Week Kick Off! Earn a "Free Dress Day"
We would like to kick off Catholic Schools week (end of January) by having all of our students dress in uniform during their Saturday, January 28th and Sunday, January 29th church services. Wouldn't it be great if every student who attends Holy Cross School wore their uniform to church that weekend, regardless of what denomination?! What a great way to show the many churches that they are represented at Holy Cross via their students/families. It will also reinforce to the community that students from all faiths are welcome at Holy Cross Catholic School. So parents and students, please mark your calendars now to wear your uniform. (No sweatshirts please!) A "free dress" day will be awarded to any student who participates.
