Dear Families,

Welcome to the Holy Cross Summer Reading Book Club!

We are rolling out a new and improved summer reading list this year. Our goal is for students to engage in reading by choosing the book and genre that they like. We have 8 books for students to choose from; students will choose a book for June and a book for July. Students will engage with each other and with their faculty book leaders in discussions each week about their book. All of the book assignments will be in Google Classroom, which means that students can read their books and participate in discussions wherever they have access to a computer or a phone. When school begins, your student will be ready to participate in activities and discussions about what they read this summer!

During the last week of school, we will help students sign up for the books they want to read. They may choose books from the high school or middle school sections, and they may choose books from different genres. Please note that class size is limited for each book; when one book selection fills, we will email the students and encourage them to make a different selection. 

We will kick off our summer reading with a book fair at Barnes and Noble at the beginning of summer. We will send you email for further details.  Here students and families are welcome to purchase their selections and visit with Holy Cross teachers. All proceeds will benefit the Holy Cross Academic Team. In addition, students may purchase books from any other location, or they may check them out of your local library.

What is 426?

426 is literally the digits of our street address, but it is much more than that. To our students, it is a powerful reminder of some of the tenets Holy Cross Students have come to know since 1957 --  Faith, Respect, Pride, Integrity, Ambition and Wisdom. To our alumni and all those who hold Holy Cross close to their hearts, we hope it is a call to action. Understanding the realities of tuition, we are asking our alumni and benefactors to donate to this scholarship program by signing up for a recurring $35.50 donation. This will add up to $426 a year in tuition assistance to be used for the 2018-19 school year. Our goal is to subsidize tuition with alumni contributions specifically designed to make it affordable to all academically qualified students.

Why Alumni? 

Because Alumni and Alumni families know firsthand the value of a 
Holy Cross education.  

Alumni have learned how to pay it forward.

Why Now?

With your support Holy Cross stands ready to continue our mission for the next 50 years!

The greater the support the more affordable the tuition. 

The more affordable the tuition, the more opportunities available for educating an additional 200 students in grades 6 through 12.
