How special to have two of our Holy Cross veterans go on Honor Flights in the last few weeks! Dave Mathison was a Sergeant E-5 in the Army National Guard and served as a motor vehicle operator during the Berlin Crisis. Denny Behr served in the U.S. Navy from 1965 to 1999, attaining the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer E-9. A number of Holy Cross members were there to welcome them home; and both gentlemen were accompanied by their sons on the trip, which made the experience even more memorable. ❀️

Please join our Holy Cross family in thanking these men - and all of our veterans - for their dedication and sacrifice protecting the freedoms we have in this amazing country, especially our freedom to worship. βœοΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Over the past 100 years, Holy Cross Church has primarily used these three hymnals - The Lutheran Hymnary, Lutheran Worship and Christian Worship - and for many years used "The Bugenhagen Order" for the liturgy. We can still hear Pastor George Orvick singing. ❀️

Hymns are one of the foundational parts of worship at Holy Cross, joining our hearts together to praise our Lord and Savior. What hymn - or hymns - remind you most of Holy Cross? 🎢✝️

The 2025-2026 Holy Cross school year is officially in the books. πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ“ Seventeen 8th graders received their diplomas last night in front of family, friends and classmates; and what a hard-working group of young people they are! There were two valedictorians and one salutatorian, and eleven were Presidential Education Award winners, having a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Eight of them will attend Lakeside Lutheran High School, and the others will attend a variety of other local high schools.

Heartfelt thanks to the Holy Cross leadership team, teachers, pastors and staff for giving these students a rigorous, Christ-centered education and teaching by example how to be responsible citizens and compassionate servant leaders.❀️They are ready for the next chapter! May God bless and keep them in their faith all the way home to heaven. ✝️

Wow! Our Crusader readers accomplished amazing things this year! πŸ† After the last Chapel service on Wednesday, 8 students were recognized for meeting and exceeding the middle school 40 Book Challenge - reading almost 5 books a month for 9 months! The top reader read 263 books for a total of 55,000 pages! πŸ‘

Holy Cross School uses the program Accelerated Reader, which is a literacy tool that enables students to read books and take quizzes to test their comprehension. The school surpassed their goal of 16,000 points for the year, and the prize was a trip to the Milwaukee County Zoo last week.

As Dr. Seuss said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." 🌎

Please join us in congratulating our Holy Cross students for using their God-given abilities to His glory! ✝️❀️
