Newsletter in a Nutshell | Jan. 26, 2012

Dear Families and Friends of Holy Cross Catholic School,

The weekend of “CELEBRATION” has finally arrived! I have been hearing about this special night since last June! I am very excited! I am excited to meet many families that I have not had a chance to meet yet and I am excited to get to know many families a little bit better. I am excited about all of the wonderful items that have been donated to CELEBRATION and I am excited about FUND-A-NEED!

Fund-A- Need looks and sounds a little different this year… We have NEW windows, NEW air conditioning, FANTASTIC teachers in every classroom, WONDERFUL parents, and EXCELLENT STUDENTS… What more could we ask for? Well, MORE EXCELLENT STUDENTS of course! We have room for more students – we are ready to fill those seats. The Fund-A-Need this year at Celebration could go toward many things to move the school forward…

A part time marketing director – to help the school move toward NO empty chairs and a waiting list!

Enhance teacher salaries – to keep the excellent teachers we have and entice more excellent teachers as we add more classrooms.

New textbooks – to stay up to date with the latest information and to stay academically competitive with neighboring schools.

Add money to the Guardian Angel Scholarship Fund – to give assistance to those families who are struggling financially to ensure they stay at Holy Cross and receive a top notch education.

Add a teacher to a grade level on the cusp of needing another classroom – this is to ensure that we don’t have to turn multiple students away and send them to another school.

????????????? – as Holy Cross continues to grow we want to be ready for whatever comes our way- good or bad. Having a Flex Fund will help secure the future of the school.

I look forward to seeing all of you on Saturday night! Have a wonderful weekend!

Don’t forget… CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK starts on Mismatch Monday! Come to school wearing clothes that do not match!

Peace Friends,

Dr. Bobbie Beverlin

Sunday’s Gospel
January 29, 2012
Mark 1: 21-28

Then they came to Capernaum,
and on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught.
The people were astonished at his teaching
for he taught them as one having authority
and not as the scribes.
