The Birth of Messages from the Middle
This message is meant to offer "one stop shopping" for middle school parents to provide them with info and links they and their children may need. This email will be sent in the afternoon of the last day of the week to preview the week ahead in middle school.
The key part of this weekly message is the upcoming test and project section. This is meant to help students manage their time and plan ahead as appropriate. We hope this helps our busy middle school students and their families budget their time each week.
The information in this message is not meant to replace the daily planner that students are asked to use each day. The daily planner should still be the best source for information and updated each class period by students.
This message is NOT a replacement for the weekly E-blast for all Holy Cross Academy families. This email will highlight middle school specific information and will not repeat all the information from the more general, weekly message.
The middle school team and I hope that you find this additional weekly communication helpful.

Pennant Project
I would like to invite middle school families to donate pennants from their favorite colleges or universities to Holy Cross Academy to help decorate our middle school hallway. Students can bring their pennants in to the office and we will have them displayed throughout the middle school. These pennants will help differentiate our middle school hallway and allow our students to help decorate their space.
Our students are off to a great start on their academic and faith journey during their years at Holy Cross Academy. I hope these pennants will serve as a visual reminder of what our students are working towards later in their academic journey.
