What's-a-Matter??

As a culmination to a science unit, Mrs. Kortz’s 2nd grade class had a "WHATS'S-A-MATTER" party. They made root beer floats. The ice cream is the solid, the root beer is the liquid and the carbonation in the root beer is the gas. Science is fun and good-tasting!

Invitation to Lunch

The third graders did a great job with this project. First we talked all about community and what a group like the Packers mean to a community. Then for creative writing the students wrote recipes (funny ones) which will be sent along with this pictures. In computer class the students have been typing letters to NFL teams. What the letters spell out is the following: Please come for lunch at Holy Cross School. We will see if we get an answer - no matter what it was a fun time for the students.

Dictionaries and Book Marks


These pictures are showing the two gentlemen from the Elks club presenting all of our third graders with dictionaries and book markers at Holy Cross School in Kaukauna. This picture is taken with the third graders of Mrs. Becky Haen receiving the gifts. The students were so excited when they started looking through the book and found it also contained information on each and every state in the United States (which they are studying about right now in Social Studies Class). Plus on the back page the there was the longest word in the English language which contain 1,909 letters and was a term for the formula C1289H2051N343O375S8.

Fire Safety


The Kaukauna Fire Department visited classrooms at St. Aloysius campus during the month of October and talked with the students on Fire Prevention. The theme this year is “Stay Fire Smart”. This year’s theme emphasizes what everyone can do to prevent fires in our homes by being fire smart. They stressed the importance of having working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, testing and cleaning them monthly and changing the batteries twice a year and having a home escape plan. The fire department provided some valuable fire safety tips if fire should break out in their school or home.

Explore at Holy Cross Campus

The 6-8th grade students are very busy with their Explore classes this semester. The students have the opportunity to sign up for one of the class offerings to be held each Friday during the 1st semester for 40 minutes. The students could select from the following: School Store, Forensics, Liturgy Planning, Service with a Smile, Church Choir, Dive into Books, Public Relations and Mathematical Art. Right now the Service with a Smile group is sponsoring cancer awareness which the whole school system is participating in. Then some of the Public Relations group is putting together a newspaper called the “Shinning Times” which is given to all the students at our other campus St. Aloysius for the Pre-school-2nd graders to enjoy. Then another part of the Public Relations group has been busy putting together a Power Point for our website and the final group of students, which are in Public Relations, have been busy writing original stories with the third graders which they will be putting in one hardbound book. The students all look forward to taking part in these different groups because this is another way for them to take responsibility for planning events the rest of the student body can participate in.
