THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ETIQUETTE DINNER WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!  Thanks to all who made the event possible.  Thanks to Mrs. Wingfield for serving as Chair Person.  Thanks to the Knights of Columbus, the PTO and the Athletic Boosters for their financial support.  Thank you Mrs. Dougherty and Ms. Elmore for instructions of proper etiquette and to Crissy and Mrs. Kluba for their help in learning the waltz.  Thank you Mrs. Sites and Mr. Farringer for set up for the event.  Thank you Mrs. Swienton and Mrs. Adams for helping in the kitchen and thanks to MaRiCoNi caterers for a delicious Irish meal.  A big thank you to our high school servers.  Most importantly, thank you, parents, for sending your children to a school where they are known and loved.  We are all truly blessed to be part of a school where events like this Etiquette Dinner happen.

Rice Bowls

The theme for this year is "For I was hungry" reminds us that when we serve our brothers and sisters in need, we also serve Jesus.  The Catholic Relief Services encourage families to pray with their families and faith communities, fast in solidarity with those in hunger; learn about our global community and the challenges of poverty overseas; and give sacrificial contributions to those in need.  The RICE Bowl collection will continue throughout Lent.  If giving, please return your RICE Bowl to your Religion teacher .  NJHS members will be collecting them.  Thank you for your support.

"HIT THE BOOKS"

Holy Cross elementary students will once again participate in the Lynchburg Hillcats/Sylvan Learning Center sponsored spring reading incentive- "Hit the books". Students are asked to read 4 books between now and May 24th. For each book read, students earn a "base" and when they have read all 4 (a home run), they earn 2 tickets to the Hillcats baseball game for May 26th (which includes fireworks). Each classroom will have its own criteria for what constitutes one book. (x amount of pages, etc.) Bookmarks to keep track of progress and more information will go home Monday! Questions? Contact Mrs. Main. main_h@hcrs-va.org
