Dear Holy Cross Families,

Our mild winter does have some benefits! Each year, we must submit a calendar for Diocesan approval that includes snow days. As we did not use any of our snow days this year (2011-2012), the Diocese has approved that we incorporate two "snow" days into our spring schedule. WE WILL NOT HAVE SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, APRIL 27 AND FRIDAY, MAY 25: neither students nor faculty/staff will report. We will still hold the 5th grade fieldtrip on Friday, April 27 as well as prom that evening. We hope this new opportunity to incorporate a couple long weekends into the spring will allow you wonderful family time. Please call the office if you have any questions.

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.
