SCHOOL NEWS AND VIEWS
December 6, 2019
This week's update:
Happy Friday, Holy Cross Family,
First, I would like to say how much I appreciate the understanding and support that our students and families have expressed as we needed to alter our Christmas program plans due to Mr. Harden's illness. The kids have worked hard on this and we do not want their hard work to be in vain so be assured that you will continue to experience Christmas joy as we reschedule them in January.
You may have noticed that I was gone from school last week. I am so happy to share that I was in Tennessee as my daughter gave birth to my second grandchild, a little boy. It was great to see how smoothly everything ran in my absence and that it due to the amazing team that we have at Holy Cross and especially Mrs. T. I have included a photo below of my brand new grandson. He was a bit premature and spent a little time in the NICU but all seems well now.
Christmas break is coming up but it is important that the students remain focused on their learning and not go on vacation mode quite yet. Please do your part to make sure that they are studying, reading, doing their homework and staying up to date with I Ready and IXL.
In addition to field trips and basketball games, there are 2 PTL sponsored activities coming up next week. MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, the PTL is sponsoring a Holiday Shoppe where students can shop for low cost small gifts for family members. This is a fundraiser for the PTL but it is also something fun for the students. Your student went home with information on this. The shoppe will be in the library and will be open for 3 hours each day and one afternoon. If you are able, please allow your child to have some cash to shop with.
On Friday, SANTA AND MRS. CLAUS will visit Holy Cross and students in PK through 1st grade will visit them and have story time. PK through 1st grade only may wear pajamas to school on this day.
Have a great weekend and remember that our school functions as a part of our larger ministry which is Holy Cross Lutheran Church. There are advent services each Wednesday evening until Christmas at 7:15PM. We have Sunday School for all ages at 9:15 every Sunday and worship at 10:30AM. All are invited and welcomed!
