Parent Volunteers Needed For CYO Track Meets

From Holy Cross Athletic Board member,
Mike Miranda -

Greater CYO asks that all participating parishes provide volunteers for each track meet. These volunteers are critical to the success of the meets.

Please see the list of remaining meets below, and the volunteer list Holy Cross is being asked to provide.

Volunteer times can easily be split, so you would not have to work the entire meet. The more folks who can sign up to help the better!

If you can help, please contact Tom Sheeley at sheeley932@gmail.com or please sign up at track practice this week.

Get Ready For Track!

from Holy Cross CYO Coordinator, Mike Miranda -

CYO Track begins soon at Holy Cross!
Here’s the information you need to get your child involved…

Step 1: Register Online with the Greater CYO Office Today

If you have already registered your child with CYO this school year (possibly because they played volleyball, football or basketball), you do not need to complete this step again.

The CYO registration is for one school year, and the fee is $25. The Registration and Parent Release form can be completed online at http://www.cyojwa.org. This step must be completed in order to add participants to a team roster.

Step 2: Sign-Up for Track with Holy Cross

Track sign-up will be on Tuesday, March 27 and Wednesday, March 28 at track practice (please see below).

Please make checks payable to ‘Holy Cross CYO.’ Please note your child’s name and grade on the check. If you have any questions on CYO registration or Holy Cross sign-up, please contact Mike Miranda at mamirandam2004@yahoo.com. If you would like to send in your sign-up fee prior to the start of track practice, please drop off at the school office to Mike’s attention.

Track Fees:
3rd – 4th graders $25
5th – 8th graders $50

Step 3: Track Practices

Track Practices will begin on Tuesday, March 27 at 6 p.m., and will be held at Oxford Middle School. Oxford is located at 125th & Switzer.

Congrats to our 4th-Grade Sluggers!

from Holy Cross Mom, Suzanne Scavuzzo -

The 4^th-grade boys were given a special banquet last week by the 3&2 baseball league and a special award for Outstanding Sportsmanship for this past season.

Our boys played a terrific season and finished in fourth place (I think). If you ask each of our players what means more to them: ending the season in first place or getting the Outstanding Sportsmanship Award, they will each tell you it is the award, no question.

I think this speaks volumes to the education these boys receive at Holy Cross! They are quite proud of this achievement – and they should be!

Felicidades a nuestros Alumnos decuarto grado!

desde Santa Cruz Mom, Suzanne Scavuzzo-

Los chicos del 4to. grado tuvieron una reunion especial la semana pasada por la Liga de béisbol de 3 y 2. Recibieron un reconocimiento especial por su papel deportivo desarrollado la pasada temporada.

Nuestros muchachos jugaron una temporada increíble y terminaron en cuarto lugar (creo). Si le pregunta a cada uno de nuestros jugadores lo que fue mas importante para ellos: si haber terminado en primer lugar o haber recibido el reconocimiento, cada uno le dirán es el reconocimiento sin duda.

Creo que esto habla mucho debido a la educación de que estos niños reciben en Santa Cruz. Están muy orgullosos de este logro, y deben ser!

Time for Track

It is nearly spring, and you know what that means, right?  Well, according to Mike Miranda, our CYO Coordinator, it means it’s time for Track!

CYO Fall Sports

Believe it or not, it’s time to start thinking about fall sports!

Holy Cross dad Mike Miranda has posted all the
pertinent details on CYO volleyball and football
on the Holy Cross school website.

Holy Cross offers volleyball for girls in grades 3
through 8.  Registration begins in mid-July on the
CYO website,  There will be a volleyball clinic for
those interested in brushing up their skills on the
evening of Tuesday, August 17.  Evaluations for
players in grades 5 through 8 will be held
August 18 and 19. Holy Cross fees must be paid
and CYO registration completed for your student
to be evaluated.

If your student would like to play CYO football, there is
contact information for the Holy Spirit and Ascension teams.

Please visit holycrosscatholicschool.com for all the details.

Thanks to Mike Miranda (and all our Holy Cross coaches/parents!)
