Good news for Holy Cross families!
The AIM Higher Foundation is offering an inaugural summer application and awarding period. For the very first time, AIM Higher scholarships of $1,000 each are being offered to K-8th grade students who apply to enroll at our school in June, July and August.
On June 1, the Aim Higher section of the TADS application will reopen for all students at mytads.com. (Note: this is for Aim Higher scholarships only. The CSAF program has only the first application period.) On a rolling basis, scholarships to students from families with financial need will be awarded through June and July, ending August 1. In the awarding process, priority will be given to students who are new to Catholic schools in this Archdiocese. The need-based criteria used to grant scholarships will otherwise stay the same.
$1,000 scholarships will be awarded that follow the student through eighth grade as long as they remain in a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.

SUMMER READING
Research shows, and the teachers at Holy Cross Catholic School agree, that students who read throughout the year maintain and improve their reading skills better than those who do not. To support this belief, we require all students who will be in grades 1-8 in the fall of 2018 to complete summer reading by the time school starts in September. Please click the link to see what is required of your child’s grade level.
Happy summer, everyone, and please do take time to enjoy reading, at a minimum, every week, but even better, every day!
See you in September!
