There is one thing I ask of the Lord, only this do I seek:
to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. Ps 27:4
“Whatever you do for your family, for your children, for your husband, for your wife. . . you do for Jesus.” Mother Theresa

Message from Principal Weis Dear Family,
Thank you to Home and School for the fabulous lunch they provided for our teachers during parent/teacher conferences. We want to especially mention and thank Jill Perez and MaryAnn Ping for creating a wonderful atmosphere with great food and refreshments over the two day period.
I am thrilled to announce that our conferences went very well. Thank you for supporting your child and our teachers by taking their direction and holding your child accountable for their behavior, homework, good study skills and spiritual growth. Our teachers did a fabulous job and I was amazed at our student-led conferences that begin now in Grade 5. Students are much more apt to be positive about their school work when they are involved in this process of formulating goals, talking about their strengths and weaknesses, while observing positive discussion with parents about how each individual can be more successful. Our entire teaching team is working closely on providing you with continual communication about “needs improvement” areas and monitoring progress for future success. Our junior high team appreciates your continued support with student responsibility and organization. Although their plentiful number of group conferences took a great amount of time, this team effort will be the foundation to future growth and learning for your child.
I am hearing reports of a norovirus that is popping up in schools during the flu season. While it is not usually serious, it can make people feel very sick, especially the very young and elderly. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, low grade fever, chills, headache and muscle aches. If you notice these symptoms, please keep your children home from school. People infected with norovirus are contagious from the moment they begin feeling ill to at least three days after recovery. Please help us in talking to your children about frequent hand washing (warm water and soap is the best) and good hygiene practices.
I have attached the Preschool Survey so that we can have accurate information concerning our Kindergarten program next year. We are in the beginning stages of collecting data. Be assured that we will do everything we can to accommodate your family. Once we have all of the surveys turned in, we will then be able to begin discerning what this program will look like for next year. Pray with us as we do everything we can to meet your needs and jump start your Kindergartner for a future of tremendous spiritual and academic success!
Our gathering yesterday at the flag pole began in prayer, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a group song led by Mrs. Pesel and students. It was beautiful. Thank you for helping us honor our Veteran’s on this day where we are humbly grateful for the sacrifices those who serve our country have made for each of us.
Have a tremendous weekend! Mrs. Weis

"The path we have walked (in building and opening Holy Cross Catholic School)...has been in the footprints of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Supreme Architect whose plan we have followed. All that we have tried to do has been for Him. There is a joy in this new ministry for our parish and the exciting work we have been able to accomplish under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
On behalf of the administration, faculty, parents and students, I wish to express gratitude and praise to God for all the good work that He has begun and prayerful hope for all that we have yet to accomplish...From daily Mass, confessions, adoration, prayer, classes, sports, friendships, challenges and joyful expectation for all that is to come, Holy Cross School is a place of love diffusing far and wide the goodness of Christ. Only in openness to the Holy Spirit can we continue to grow in body, mind and soul and give glory to Christ by becoming all that He calls us to be in His Holy Name.
Yours in Jesus through Mary,
Msgr. Daniel J. Deutsch August, 2008
