Holy Cross School

We ended our school year yesterday with Mass and our end-of-year celebrations!

The students surprised Father Lentini with a special farewell tribute as he prepares to begin his new assignment as pastor of St. Ann’s this summer. We also wished Mrs. Wicks and Master Corporal Smith well wishes as they embark on new life adventures, and we congratulated Mrs. Ritzke on the upcoming arrival of her baby. We are so excited to meet our newest Crusader! 💚

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the HSA and Mrs. Maria Gambone for their amazing dedication and service to Holy Cross.
As the Gambone family relocates this summer, they will be greatly missed. Mrs. Gambone has poured her heart into making Holy Cross events fun and meaningful while working tirelessly to support our fundraising efforts. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done for our faculty, students, and school community.

Always keep Holy Cross in your heart!

The current coaching staff will mentor the new coach during their final season, helping ensure a smooth transition and continued success for our program.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

At our Holy Cross, we are especially grateful for the freedoms we are blessed to enjoy each day, freedoms made possible through the sacrifice of so many heroes.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we pause to pray for our fallen soldiers, their loved ones, and all who continue to serve our nation with courage and faith.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

May God bless our military, our veterans, and the United States of America.

Did anyone notice we had two principals today? We could hardly tell the difference of who was who! Maybe, just maybe you can……….

Miss V’s favorite part of being principal so far was visiting all the different buildings. Her least favorite part was alllllll the walking she’s done. We get it, Miss V 😂

Miss V and Mrs. O’Mara have been working hard all morning but teamwork makes the dream work!

Check out our new uniform sweater from Cramers Uniforms Delaware!

This sweater will gradually replace the current sweater styles for all K–8 students. During the next two academic years, existing sweaters will still be permitted. After that transition period, the embroidered cardigan will become the required uniform sweater for grades K–8.

Cramer's will be on campus this Friday, May 22, from 12-2pm for uniform fittings for current students and offering 10% off your purchases!

Greeting Earthlings!

Mrs. Ritzke’s 5th Grade Scientists are out of this world.

Students combined creativity and science by designing their own aliens to match the unique characteristics of each planet in our solar system.

We are so proud of their imagination, teamwork, and scientific thinking! 👏🔭
