Holy Cross Thunderbolt Newsletter

Some days I feel more like a chicken running around with its head cut off than a "got it together" kind of gal. It’s hard to keep that peaceful, serene, filled-with-the-Spirit personality when you’re trying to do five things at once. Instead of feeling love, joy, and peace, I sometimes feel overwhelmed, tense, and anxious.

Perhaps you can relate. You have so much to do that you can barely hold yourself together. If you’re like me, you have more things on your list today than you could possibly accomplish. It’s hard to order your priorities when you have so many that you can’t even keep them straight. We’re busy driving kids to activities, working at our jobs, supporting families, and trying to make dinner each night. So many different responsibilities can make it hard to order our steps.

What can we do to unclutter our lives today? How would your day change for the better if you made your primary goal to love and serve God both at work and at home?

Lord,

Help us to remember our primary purpose in life. Forgive us for letting other things get in the way of our relationship with you.

Help us see our lives through your eyes and give us a sense of your priorities for us, so we can follow your design.

Help us simplify our lives, so that we may love and share that love with others.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Substitutes Needed!

Holy Cross (and all the GRACE schools) are in desperate need of additional substitute teachers. Could you help us out? We are willing to create a "Holy Cross Only Substitute List" if you are only interested in subbing at our school or share your information on the general GRACE sub-list depending on your interest. You are also able to decide if you would like to be paid for your substitute services or to simply volunteer your time. We are also willing to work with you to place subs in classrooms with age ranges that they feel most comfortable with. Please reach out to Mrs. Peterson to learn more!

Keeping Us Safe Together And Reducing The Spread - Please Note Changes To HCS COVID Site Plan:

Please remember that if your child is exhibiting any symptoms related to COVID-19, including sniffles, cough, stomach ache, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. he/she should stay home. We ask that those who are ill with any COVID symptoms consider testing by a recognized medical provider regardless of the individual's vaccine status prior to his/her return. This has helped us to minimize the spread of the virus here at Holy Cross. Short-term quarantines are proving effective in reducing the spread as well. Frequent reviews and updates to our Holy Cross COVID Site Plan are monitored and provided as necessary. Thank you for your cooperation and diligence!
