Just a reminder there is no school September 29 & 30th for students.


Today Holy Cross recognized the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. We welcomed Dani Moore to grade 6 to talk to the kids about tying of tobacco pouches to the fence and a blessing from an Elder.

Tomorrow we encourage staff and students as we recognized The National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. 🪶


Priority 1 and Priority 3: In Physical Education and Wellness, students begin each class with reminders about respect—for themselves, for others, and for the environment. By living out this respect in their words and actions, they put into practice the Catholic Social Teaching of the Dignity of the Human Person—recognizing that every person is special, loved by God, and worthy of care.


Today Holy Cross Ran for Terry and many others. We raised $250 for the Marathon of Hope and Cancer Research. We are so proud of our Holy Cross students and staff.

Today, two of our three Lakeland Catholic Schools in Cold Lake, received concerning phone threats. Out of an abundance of caution, St. Dominic Elementary School, Holy Cross Elementary School and Assumption Jr/Sr High School moved into Emergency Response Procedures.
All students and staff are safe, and our emergency protocols were followed with care and professionalism. We are especially thankful to the RCMP for their diligent response, ongoing support, and clear guidance as we worked together to keep everyone safe. We continue to work in collaboration with them.
We are grateful for the compassion shown across our school communities.

Due to heavy fog this morning, all buses will be delayed by at least 30 minutes. Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure students arrive safely.


Following the Liturgy, Father Nong visited each class at Holy Cross Elementary to bless the Prayer Tables and share words of encouragement with the students. He wished them success “as they grow this year in age, wisdom, and grace,” reminding them to keep praying and learning about Jesus.






Happy Feast Day of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross! Father Nong joined Holy Cross Elementary to celebrate this special day in prayer and reflection.
