Jog-A-Thon
Jog-A-Thon is typically held at the beginning of each school year. This event helps keep our students physically fit and our school financially fit. Students are asked to obtain pledges from family and friends. There are two ways that family and friends can pledge the student. They can pledge a per “lap” amount or they can pledge a flat amount for the event. Either way is welcome and sincerely appreciated. Jog-A-Thon offers students an enjoyable and healthy opportunity to take pride in their school. The funds raised go directly towards providing Holy Cross students with an enriching educational environment.
Fall Festival
Fall Festival is family friendly event held on a brisk autumn Saturday, typically in mid/late October. This is a wonderful day filled with much fun and entertainment. You can expect to enjoy a variety of delicious food, treats, games and prizes for all ages, raffles, children’s activities, live entertainment, wine, beer and of course community fellowship! This event is open to all Holy Cross families, their friends and family, the parish community as well as the community at large. The Fall Festival Committee goes right to work at the beginning of each school year to bring this event to life. As with all events of this scale, we rely on the support of our wonderful staff, parents and families to make Fall Festival possible. This a great opportunity to get a head start in earning parent service hours. All proceeds from the Fall Festival are used to benefit special projects within the school.
