• We were able to get about 2/3 of our middle school students out for the dance tonight (a great turnout for a busy time of the year).

• A group of middle school boys are aspiring acrobats (they are pretty impressive).

• We have some talented dancers at Holy Cross Academy.

• Mrs. Miller did a great job in helping with tonight's dance and securing our DJ (he was great).

• Our 6th grade students represented themselves well and showed they belong at the dance (MS dances were previously just for 7th and 8th graders).

• Our Middle School Student Council did a wonderful job of planning this dance for their peers.

• We have parents who are wonderful bakers...yum!

• Our students are experts at resetting Fr. Brisson Hall for Sunday Mass.

• Middle school parents are wonderfully supportive and helped make our dance a success.

• Middle school students attack trays of Chick-Fil A nuggets like a pack of Velociraptors (they crushed 320 nuggets in mere minutes...it was frightening).

• Create an atmosphere of prayer and reliance on our heavenly Father;
• Spread the message of Jesus in our families and our community by treating all persons with respect and showing reverence for the gift of God in each one;
• Build up the Spirit-filled faith community within Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Parish;
• Serve those in need in our local community and in the Missions through an awareness of our global responsibility to all humanity;
• Develop the whole child: spiritually, emotionally, academically and physically;
• Promote academic excellence by challenging all our students to recognize their gifts and fulfill their God-given potential.
