Kaukauna High School Volleyball Team Send Off!

On November 5, the Kaukauna High School Volleyball team is going to State this year and before they left they came past St. Aloysius Campus and Holy Cross Campus so the students could wish them well. Good luck from KCSS!

Invitation to Lunch

The third graders did a great job with this project. First we talked all about community and what a group like the Packers mean to a community. Then for creative writing the students wrote recipes (funny ones) which will be sent along with this pictures. In computer class the students have been typing letters to NFL teams. What the letters spell out is the following: Please come for lunch at Holy Cross School. We will see if we get an answer - no matter what it was a fun time for the students.

Dictionaries and Book Marks

These pictures are showing the two gentlemen from the Elks club presenting all of our third graders with dictionaries and book markers at Holy Cross School in Kaukauna. This picture is taken with the third graders of Mrs. Becky Haen receiving the gifts. The students were so excited when they started looking through the book and found it also contained information on each and every state in the United States (which they are studying about right now in Social Studies Class). Plus on the back page the there was the longest word in the English language which contain 1,909 letters and was a term for the formula C1289H2051N343O375S8.

Fire Safety

The Kaukauna Fire Department visited classrooms at St. Aloysius campus during the month of October and talked with the students on Fire Prevention. The theme this year is “Stay Fire Smart”. This year’s theme emphasizes what everyone can do to prevent fires in our homes by being fire smart. They stressed the importance of having working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, testing and cleaning them monthly and changing the batteries twice a year and having a home escape plan. The fire department provided some valuable fire safety tips if fire should break out in their school or home.

Explore at Holy Cross Campus

The 6-8th grade students are very busy with their Explore classes this semester. The students have the opportunity to sign up for one of the class offerings to be held each Friday during the 1st semester for 40 minutes. The students could select from the following: School Store, Forensics, Liturgy Planning, Service with a Smile, Church Choir, Dive into Books, Public Relations and Mathematical Art. Right now the Service with a Smile group is sponsoring cancer awareness which the whole school system is participating in. Then some of the Public Relations group is putting together a newspaper called the “Shinning Times” which is given to all the students at our other campus St. Aloysius for the Pre-school-2nd graders to enjoy. Then another part of the Public Relations group has been busy putting together a Power Point for our website and the final group of students, which are in Public Relations, have been busy writing original stories with the third graders which they will be putting in one hardbound book. The students all look forward to taking part in these different groups because this is another way for them to take responsibility for planning events the rest of the student body can participate in.

October Band Concert

This was a wonderful event on October 15. The cafeteria was all decorated in the Halloween theme - students were serving punch and decorated Halloween cookies and the music the students played was wonderful! They played to a packed cafeteria and a good time was had by one and all. Ms. Michelle DeGroot is the band director and she did an outstanding job getting the students ready to perform.

Neighbors are Wonderful!

Students in grades 4 & 5 made and delivered special treats to neighbors that live around the Holy Cross campus on Thursday, October 15th. This is just something to let the neighbors know just how much we appreciate them and to thank them for maybe, at times, putting up with some inconveniences as our playground balls fly over in their yard or having to work around our school buses each and everyday. This is just one way we to show our neighbors how special they are to us.
