IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
March for Life: January 22, 2022 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. This year the March for Life is being held on a Saturday, so anyone wishing to participate will need to make their own arrangements to attend. Holy Cross will not be organizing a gathering at the March for Life this year.
No School February 10th, 2022: This day was originally scheduled to be a 1/2 day early release for conferences. To give the teachers a much needed reduction in stress, we will make February 10th a full-day off and have both conferences and a chance for teachers to catch their breath that day. If we get hit with any further loss of school days due to either weather or COVID, we still have the March 18th teacher in-service to possibly reinsert as a school day ONLY if several disruptions are caused within the next few weeks.
All School Raffle: Starting in late January/February, in place of the Catholic United Raffle this year, the Lonsdale Immaculate Conception and the St. Nicholas Knights of Columbus have agreed to sponsor a Holy Cross Catholic School Raffle for us! The Knights have generously agreed to put up the raffle prizes $2500 to the first place winner, $500 to the second, and 20 $50 prizes. Tickets will be $10 each and we're hoping each family can sell between 10 and 20. This raffle is set to tentatively start on January 21st and there will be school incentives for the students in order to meet our goal!

CRUSADER CELEBRATION: Friday, February 25, 2022
Doors open at 5 pm
On Friday, February 25th, 2022, Holy Cross will be hosting their annual gala and fundraiser at the Holiday Inn in Lakeville, MN. This fundraiser is crucial for the success of our school because it provides key funding for teachers, keeping enrollment costs down, and other costs of education. It is required that each family sell or purchase two tickets to this event at the cost of $75 per ticket.
Our ticket sales and bidding during the event this year are taking a different route than in the past. This year we are excited to announce the use of Qtego, an electronic bidding company, that will not only make bidding easier, but will enhance your entire experience during the evening. Those purchasing tickets will also have the opportunity to state the family that “sold” them their tickets in order to reach the 2 ticket requirement.
If you are interested in donating items, sponsoring this event, or hosting a Great Gathering, please email MaryKatherine Deschamp at marykatherined@holycrossschool.net for more information or questions.
Volunteer Opportunities: Please look through the volunteer opportunities and sign up as you are able. Your time will count towards the 10 volunteer hours each family is required to do for the 2021-2022 school year. 5 volunteer hours are required for Preschool and PreK families. If you are looking to volunteer for any upcoming events, please click the box below!
*Volunteer hours completed from the 2020-2021 school year will roll over into the 2021-2022 school year.*

Pancake Breakfast/Open House: On Sunday, January 30, 2022 Holy Cross is hosting a pancake breakfast to kick off Catholic Schools Week. This is a great opportunity for food, fellowship, and a tour of Holy Cross!
Please let those interested know to reserve a space for our Open House at holycrossschool.net/open-house and if they register for a new student admissions tour, then breakfast is on us! Be sure to bring your friends and those you are trying to recruit to our school (there will again be tuition incentives for finding families to enroll in our school for the 22-23 school year).
Please remember to like, share, and "comment" on our Facebook posts. Commenting increases our reach to many more friends and increases
interest in our school. Thank you!
