July 15, 2022
Whether you are enjoying a day at the pool, taking an ice cream break, or running through the sprinkler to cool down, we hope these summer days have been full of fun and relaxation. With the start of school about a month away, it is that time to distribute summer packets.
Please join us this Sunday, July 17th from 5-7:30 pm in the school back parking lot. We have missed you and are so excited to see everyone! If you are unable to attend, you may come by the school office T, W, and Th the next two weeks from 8 am-12 pm or in the narthex at church after Mass.
God has a plan for all of us and we find that some staff members get a call to go in a different direction. Mrs. Katie Howard is answering the call to share her talents and vocation with her home parish. We are forever grateful for the many little lives she touched along the way. We truly have been blessed by all the gifts she shared over the past five years. Thank you, Mrs. H., for your creativity, for sharing your love of God, and for instilling a love of learning in all our little Hornets. You will be greatly missed. Holy Cross will be praying for you and your family as you embark on your new adventure.
A Message from Mrs. H

Holy Cross Parents,
With a heavy heart I must share that I will not be returning for the 2022-2023 school year. I have been offered a teaching position in my home parish that I just cannot refuse. My heart wants to stay, but my mind knows I must move on to the next adventure.
Thank you for sharing your children with me. I have loved my time with them and each child has taught me something new and fantastic. One of my favorite things about our move to the big school has been seeing “my kiddos” in the halls and school functions this past year. It has been a delight to watch them grow and blossom!
Thank you for being so supportive! I have always felt blessed to have such amazing parents at our school. I have enjoyed getting to know you and hope to bump into you and your sweet families again at Mass or other functions!
To my past TK/PreK Kiddos—I had so much fun exploring, investigating, and learning with you. I have loved our time together and I am so proud of you. You are OUTSTANDING! Even though I won’t get to see you at school any longer, we will always be connected through our invisible heart strings! Any time you feel like you cannot do something, remember our special little word (YET), be brave, and give it a try! I believe in you!
St Francis Faith Family—I have loved getting to know each of you. You are AMAZING humans! Each of you will be a year older and have new roles and responsibilities; I hope you continue to lift one another up and appreciate each other’s special talents. Watch out for the little ones and treat each other as you want to be treated. I am confident that Alijah will lead you well this year!
Holy Cross is a wonderful community that I am sad to leave. I am so sorry that I don’t get to say goodbye to all of you in person. I wish you all the best! Holy Cross will always be in my heart and prayers!
Katie Howard (AKA Mrs H)
PS—I’ll never forget to Beeeee Holy Cross!
