HC Families,
Welcome to Spring! We hope your Spring Break was a time of rejuvenation with your children, and we look forward to having them return for an exciting spring season at Holy Cross School.
Spring is always a time of growth. We will be busy with final field trips and retreats, with challenging curriculum leading to culminating activities and with final ceremonies celebrating all the good news of Holy Cross School. It is hard to believe we will be completing the 2014-15 school year in a few short months. Please remember that we had snow days built into our schedule, so we do not need to make up any of our missed days due to inclement weather.
