Family Fun Night Lives Up To Name!

from Holy Cross parents, Mike & Jennifer Staley -

The 5th Annual Family Fun Night held in Pflumm Hall on 11/11/11 was again a huge success! The evening began with a delicious taco dinner, followed by Bingo and a raffle drawing in the gym.

What a great community event, because of so many who volunteered their time and talents.

The 8th-grade students and parents wish to thank the Holy Cross community for supporting this event. The proceeds go to the Holy Cross 8th Grade Graduation Fund.

Tonight is the special year-end Friday Family Fun Night.

Bring hot dogs, s’mores and everything else you need. Grills, ketchup and mustard, ice tea, water and paper goods will be provided.

After dinner (weather-permitting), there will be old-fashioned outdoor games like hopscotch, marbles, horseshoes, croquet, tether ball and the jungle gym and swings.

Let’s hope the good weather holds!
(if raining, the event is canceled and probably won’t be reschedule)

Friday Family Fun Night (F3)

Don’t miss the Mad Food Science Night and Potluck Experiment tonight at the school.

Here’s the challenge: bring a dish that you’ve never made before for the dinner!

After dinner, try your hand at creating new flavors, exploding soda and other fun experiments.

Bring $5 for supplies (per family, not per person.)

Friday Family Fun Night (F3)

This week’s Friday Family Fun Night will feature a Family Kickball Game and Potluck Dinner.

Meet at the school at 6 p.m. and bring a dish to share. Ice tea, water and paper goods will be provided.

Make sure to wear your kicking and running shoes for family kickball – rain or shine (and the forecast is for rain, I think.)

If we have fair weather, bring your lawn chairs and picnic blankets.  Play will be outside on the field.  If it rains, festivities will be in Pflumm Hall and the gym.

It’s a great way to get the family outside and active on a Friday night.
Plus, it’s a super way to get to know other Holy Cross families!

Friday Family Fun Night (F3)

From our F3 organizers, Laura Haeusser, Jenny Kropf and Jennifer Lindsey:

What to bring:
A dinner dish to share
A fun family game
Ideas for future Family Fun Fridays (F3)

F3 = Potluck & Free Throws

This week’s Family Fun Friday plans include a pot luck dinner and a free throw contest.  Dinner will be served in Pflumm Hall at 6 p.m. Then, the Knights of Columbus will hold a free throw contest in the gym, starting at 7:00.

The contest is for boys and girls, ages 10-14 (as of Jan. 1, 2010).

Awards will be given each age group of boys and girls. And, winners will advance to the district competition on Sunday.

No need to RSVP. Just bring a dish to share at the pot luck.

Thanks for the Input / F3

Thanks to all who attended the Holy Cross Parent Information Night on Thursday. There were good comments and questions, and I hope we were able to give you the answers you sought.

I hope as a take-away from the evening, you’ll all get your registration forms in early for 2010-11, so that we can get our class plans determined. We’ll let you know the plans as soon as we have a better idea of our numbers.

Thank you to Mikki Lawrence, our Marketing Director, and Father Mark for helping with the evening’s presentation.

Please e-mail me, call me or stop by my office if you have concerns or questions.

On another note, plan on joining with other school families for our second Holy Cross Friday Family Fun Night tonight. There’s some talk about dropping eggs from great heights – don’t miss the fun!
