FIFTIES FUN DAY was fabulous

Elementary students were treated to a "Fifties Fun Day" party on Friday as a reward for meeting the summer reading goal. Among the activities were hula hooping, Twister, ice cream sodas, carhop relay and more! We are proud to say that 100% of our students completed the reading requirements: Students in Pre-K through 2nd grade read over 900 books. Students in grades 3-5 read 38,741 pages!!            

Stay tuned next week for some pictures of our Fifties Fun day. Mrs. Main would like to thank the many volunteers who helped run the activities, those who prepared things in advance, and those who donated food, drink or prizes! We had moms, dads and grandparents and alumni all helping us! Holy Cross families are the best!!

Other items that have been requested are individual apple sauces, fruit cans, fruit snacks, granola bars, and other snack items for the children.

--We will need a few parent volunteers to help oversee the sandwich making events when I can't be there. Please let me know if you would like to be added to a list of "Managers".

--"Pink Out Day" t-shirt orders are due by Monday, September 8th. Please consider buying shirts for all family members, since for every shirt we sell--$1 goes toward Cancer Research!!

Bring In Your Old Iphones!
The new Iphone 6 comes out this week!
If you are planning to upgrade to a new Iphone soon or if your old one is still lying around somewhere, we would greatly appreciate it if you donated it to our school.  These old Iphones can be used with our school wifi in classrooms for various activities such as listening to stories, doing math apps, interactive classroom websites, taking photos, etc.  We would also appreciate donations of Ipods if you are planning to upgrade soon. (Please include charger in your donation, too!)   See Carolyn Jones for details or if you have questions.

 

MS/HS Snack Time Starts Monday

     The Juniors will start selling snacks on Mon, Sept 8.   We have a variety of chips, baked goods, and candy. The prices range from $0.75 to $1.50.
