Dear Holy Cross Community,
It has been a true pleasure to be a part of this wonderful school for the last two years. It's always a privilege to watch children grow spiritually, emotionally and intellectually, and the children of Holy Cross are like no other I've ever worked with. Their genuine smiles, their sincere words and thoughtful gestures fill our halls each and every day. I thank all of our parents for the wonderful support you give our school through your valuable time, talent and treasure. You truly are a very talented group! And finally, what would Holy Cross be if it weren't for our absolutely incredible faculty and staff whose dedication to your children is foremost in each of their days. They sincerely love your children and provide them with the best tools to help them be successful in their educational journeys.
Thank you all for the opportunity to work with you and to serve you. I will miss you all and I will always keep Holy Cross close in my heart.
With peace and blessing,
Amy Lawson
Congratulations and best wishes to our preschool teacher,Jessica Hamilton, who was married to Chris Filiaggi over the weekend!
