Holy Cross Catholic School

From the Desk of Dr. Wagner

Holy Cross CatholicSchoolFrom the Desk of Dr. Wagner

January 19, 2024 January 19, 2024

This was a short but sweet week! In just three days we were able to squeeze in Faith Families, Mass and Mathletics. It is always a special time seeing our students from preschool through 8th grade enjoying each other's company learning about our faith from various perspectives. I love seeing our 8th graders as the leaders and how much they have grown over the years. I feel blessed we are able to fit this in our monthly schedule.


Mathletics was a huge success. Thank you to Mrs. Kerth, our Math Coach, for organizing and our teacher volunteers that helped provide this great opportunity for our students and other schools in the Archdiocese. We did so well! Congratulations to all our participants!

Lastly, please do not forget that we need all hands on deck for our biggest fundraiser, Celebration, on Saturday, February 3. We would appreciate if all families could donate in some capacity whether it be time, treasure or talent. We are bringing it back to the school and let's make it the best one yet! It such a fun night and I encourage everyone to attend and if you cannot, please consider volunteering. The sign up genius is below.

Math+: Advanced Mathematics Learning Opportunity

Gain an edge – with skills that matter


This is Mr. Greg Owsley, co-founder and curriculum writer of RedwoodPrep. I’ve

taught at Rockhurst High School for the last 16 years, most recently serving as

STEAM Director. I will be teaching another addition of Math+ this Spring for 6th to

8th grade students.

I strongly believe in Math+ and would encourage your family to participate. Each

Math+ course explores 1 major idea included in Stanford University’s introductory

math sequence. This is world-class content tailored to younger students. I continue to

be impressed by how students get excited and passionate about math during Math+.

We want students to be excited about math – and Math+ does a great job doing just

that.

This season’s course will be taught at Rockhurst High School on Thursdays from 4:00

to 5:00 pm starting on Thursday, March 21st for six weeks. The program will cost

$250. Families can sign-up at www.RedwoodPrep.com.

This Spring, the Math+ program will be focused on Logic and Proofs. In

Mathematics, logic and proofs represent the most rigorous way to ‘solve’ a problem

and form the backbone of advanced math. These critical skills have become

increasingly tested in standardized exams with ~20% of SAT Math questions testing

basic logic.

Most interested students can succeed in Math+. I find that students with a gift for

math or a real desire to participate can succeed and learn a lot. Students interested in

advanced math classes, high performance on standardized exams or general math

ability will particularly benefit.

If you have any questions, please reach out. I hope to work with you and your family

on this exciting program.

Best,


Mr. Greg Owsley
