Good afternoon Everyone,
I would like to start off by thanking everyone for their generous support of our Annual Holy Cross Walkathon.

A special thank you goes out to Mr. Largan, Mr. Manetta, Mr. Gaspar, Mr. Ciolfitto, and Mr. Repole for their hard work and effort in completing the long jump pit maintenance project on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Our sincere gratitude goes out to our families at Holy Cross School for continuing to follow the protocols laid out in our 2020 Health & Safety Plan. We continue to advise families of our school community to always err on the side of caution when deciding to send your children to school. Thus far, your discretion and judgement has been outstanding and it has helped to maintain a safe school environment for all of us.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Mr. Dino Alberti
Principal
