ATHLETICS MEETING

 

Dear Parents,

After much internal discussion with our coaches, our Athletics Department is considering a move to the VACA League.  This change would allow us to compete with schools our size and who do not recruit.  This change would allow us to be fierce competitors in athletics.  We would continue to have some flexibility in scheduling games out of the conference so that we can keep some of our traditional rivalries.  If you are interested to know more about this prospective change or would like to give your input, please plan on attending a Parent Meeting on Tuesday, January 29 at 6:15 pm in the MS Science Lab.  The meeting facilitator will be Mr. Tony Mitchell, our Athletic Director.

Thank you,

Patti Culbreth


Cici's Pizza Night
 sponsored by the Elementary Student Government will be held on Tuesday, January 22nd from 4 PM until 9 PM.  Please mention Holy Cross and 10% of your bill will be given to the school. Thanks for your support and see you there!
