Winter Family Fun Dance Recap ☃️

Our Winter Family Dance was an absolute blast! The evening was filled with laughter, music, and plenty of memories as families twirled on the dance floor and enjoyed the company of friends. From start to finish, it was a night full of winter magic and good vibes.

A big thank you to our Catholic School Council for all their hard work in planning the event, and to our dedicated volunteers who ensured everything went smoothly from setup to takedown. Your efforts made this event a true success, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for this wonderful night. Thank you for being part of our school community and helping make the Winter Family Dance an unforgettable event!

Grade 2 Students Take Science to New Heights with “Egg Drop” Challenge! 🍳

Mme Riutta’s Grade 2 students had an egg-cellent time recently as they hosted Let’s Talk Science for a fun and educational “egg drop” competition. The day kicked off with an exciting discussion about gravity and momentum, where students learned how these forces affect objects during a fall.

Armed with their newfound knowledge, the young scientists got to work designing and building prototypes to protect their eggs from a high drop. With creativity and teamwork, they put their engineering skills to the test!

And the results? A smashing success! Many students’ eggs survived the fall, proving that hard work and scientific thinking really pay off.

Way to go, Grade 2 scientists! 👏🏻 Keep up the great work and continue exploring the world of science!

Family Literacy Day Fun at Holy Cross! 📚

Ms. Jewell, Mrs. Abbott, and Ms. Vanessa’s class had a fantastic time welcoming families into the classroom for Family Literacy Day! Parents and guardians joined their children in hands-on literacy games, practicing word recognition, letter sounds, and storytelling skills together.

One of the highlights of the event was a read-aloud of Sneezy the Snowman. As students and their families listened to the story, they discussed predictions, retold key events, and shared their favorite parts—all while enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate. The event wrapped up with interactive literacy stations, where families played sight word bingo, matched rhyming words, and built sentences using word cards.

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the joy of reading and learning as a community. Thank you to all the families who joined us—we loved sharing this experience with you.
