Dear Holy Cross Family,

I hope that you are enjoying your summer.  Things at school are still very busy with Strength and Conditioning, Summer Enrichment, Summer School, and all of the camps that are being held this month.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that we are currently running a marketing campaign to attract new students.  Each new student that enrolls will have the opportunity to win a month’s free tuition.

We haven’t forgotten about you! If you REFER A FRIEND, it is my honor to provide you with a certificate for a $100 credit toward your child’s tuition. This credit will be given for EACH new student that you refer to Holy Cross who enrolls.

* Details can be found at the bottom of the Refer A Friend document. Please CLICK HERE to download the sample form.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  I appreciate your help and support and look forward to giving you your $100 credit (or more!).
