October Band Concert




This was a wonderful event on October 15. The cafeteria was all decorated in the Halloween theme - students were serving punch and decorated Halloween cookies and the music the students played was wonderful! They played to a packed cafeteria and a good time was had by one and all. Ms. Michelle DeGroot is the band director and she did an outstanding job getting the students ready to perform.

Neighbors are Wonderful!

Students in grades 4 & 5 made and delivered special treats to neighbors that live around the Holy Cross campus on Thursday, October 15th. This is just something to let the neighbors know just how much we appreciate them and to thank them for maybe, at times, putting up with some inconveniences as our playground balls fly over in their yard or having to work around our school buses each and everyday. This is just one way we to show our neighbors how special they are to us.

Crazy Hat Day

One of the Holy Cross Explore Groups is sponsoring a “Crazy Hat Day”. Oh, this isn’t just any hat day it is one where you purchase the hat at the school store and decorate it anyway you wish. The hats will be worn during classes that day which will allow all those creative students time to show off their creativity to the rest of the student body. There just might be several teachers also taking part in this fun activity and showing their decorating skills off to the students! This is just another way of building school spirit in a fun way.

Band Concert


Holy Cross Band students will be sharing their musical talents with others on Thursday, October 15th in the school cafeteria. From all the practicing that the students in grades 6-8 are doing (which we get the chance to hear during the day) it is going to be a terrific concert. It is open to the public and will be starting at 6:30 pm. So please come and show your support for these students working hard to develop a real appreciation for music.
