Dear Holy Cross School Families:
Welcome to the beginning of another school year, and all of the excitement that comes with it. To our new students and families, our new staff, and any others who are coming to us for the first time; we welcome you to the Holy Cross School community. For those of us who have returned after a well-deserved summer break, we hope it was refreshing, and that you had some opportunities to spend time out in God’s country enjoying nature, sunlight, and beauty with family and friends. And now, it is time to get back to our studies, and a bit of fun. Go Saints!
As the administration team and staff, we have been busy planning for what promises to be a year of wonderful teaching and learning. We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you, our families, to ensure our students achieve their highest potential. We recognize that a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we believe in a shared responsibility for our children’s success. Please know that it is our honour and privilege to walk alongside your child in their academic and faith journeys. Throughout the year will we be exploring the many gifts God has given us and how we as Catholic educators, students, and families, can share these gifts with others. We are most thankful for the gift of his son Jesus Christ.
September is always a time of change for us, with updates to schedules, new teachers, and new routines. Please remember that in placing our trust in the Lord, and working together, we will build the relationships which are essential to growing spiritually, academically, emotionally, and physically. As a school community we at Holy Cross School are committed to excellence in all areas of student development and will continue to pursue the growth of Christian leaders who are responsible, life-long learners.
In previous years, our community has been blessed with the support of engaged parents and community members, who understand the importance of what we are continually trying to accomplish. We ask that you once again become active participants in our school community by sharing your gifts, talents, or prayers - there are so many ways to help! To our students, get involved in your school, and make it what you want it to be! I look forward to working hard with you, to make this a great year for all of us.
Loving God,
Our creator, our saviour, our companion,
Bless this journey of a new school year that we undertake.
Refresh our souls and renew our spirits.
Lord,
Make our hearts pure as we prepare for the return of students to this school,
May you guide them to return with open hearts and minds eager to learn.
We ask this in Your Holy name,
Amen
Peace and blessings,
Mrs. Catherine Walker
