Families and Friends of Holy Cross,
We have had a spirited week at Holy Cross, celebrating our 133rd  Homecoming event! The hallways are decorated with art work, the students celebrated with spirit wear each day and we finished the week with an exciting pep rally where our Homecoming Court was announced. This kind of Gael spirit is no surprise - it has been part of the Gael community since its beginning.
We take time this week to celebrate the life of one of those spirited Gaels, Doc Laneve, who died on October 19, 2012. Doc was a beloved basketball coach for many years at our school, and his influence on young people is his true legacy. We recognize his love and support of all things Gael, and pray for his family.
Thanks to all who follow the example of Doc Laneve and support the school in so many ways!
Blessings,
Patti Culbreth
Principal

Join Girls on the Run of Central Virginia and the Holy Cross Regional Team as we cheer on the thousands of Runners and Walkers  participating in the VA 10-Miler, 4-Miler and the 4-Mile Walk on Saturday morning, September 29th 7:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. All Girls on the Run participants are welcome to join the party, wearing their new GOTR Shirt, to cheer on their Parents, Coaches, Sponsors, Friends and siblings as they tackle the hills of Lynchburg. We invite Holy Cross students to wear their spirit wear and join us (Elementary Students will need to be supervised by guardians, 16 or over). Sign making material will be available for those cheering on "special some ones." Please bring noisemakers and lots of spirit! We will also hand out water to the returning 10-Milers as they top the infamous Farm Basket Hill.
