PARENTS,

Thank you to those parents who attended our Town Hall meetings regarding our new tuition structure.  At the meeting, one parent asked for a link to the Catholic Virginian article that outlines the Bishop's new Parish Sharing Plan.  Please see that link here:  Catholic Virginian Article

  

The Gaelgos of Holy Cross School will demonstrate their First Lego League talents at the 2012 Engineering Week Banquet on February 23 at 5:00 pm at the Holiday Inn Select in downtown Lynchburg.  The Gaelgos will perform their robot competition missions and discuss their engineering accomplishments to area professional and student engineers at the night's event.  

  

Notice of Tuition Payment Change:  The Catholic Diocese of Richmond has informed us that all tuition payment plans must begin in July for the upcoming school year.  For those families paying through FACTS, you still have the option of paying over ten months (July-April) or twelve months (July-June).  This change is effective for the 2012-2013 school year.  If you have any questions, please contact the Finance Office. 

   

Lenten Meals

 Next week begins Lent, so our cafeteria will offer meals in accordance with the Lenten season.  On "Fat Tuesday," we will have breakfast foods for lunch and no-meat lunches on Ash Wednesday and Friday.  We will continue to offer meatless options on Fridays through Lent.   

  

Young Authors Judges Needed!  

Our annual Young Authors competition is in full-swing at Holy Cross School.  Judges are needed to help decide which student entries of fiction, poetry, and essay will go onto the Lynchburg City level for judging.  If you would like to help with the judging Wednesday - Friday, February 29 - March 2, please email Sherry Schemmel at [email protected]    Thank you!

From Mrs. Main in the library:

Attention elementary parents and students: Just a reminder that our February reading incentive "Read across America" is in its final 10 days. Students in grades Pre-K through 5th grade have a minimum classroom goal that they are trying to meet. Students are keeping tracking of their reading on a special designated log which must be signed and turned in on Thursday, March 1st or Friday, March 2nd.

Those students that do so will be rewarded with free dress and a prize on the day of our "Dr. Seuss birthday party" (March 5th) Top winners from grades 3-5 will be awarded prizes from Sylvan Learning Center. (More about that later) Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this incentive. ([email protected]   847-5436 x 110)  Mrs. Main
