Kelleigh’s Cross is an award established in 2010 at St. Thomas Aquinas Elementary School (STA) to celebrate young men and young women from the 5th grade, selected annually by the teachers and STA Administration who represent a quiet yet strong Catholic Leadership. They are walking besides their classmates, giving them hope and support and walking a journey of Faith together. As they finish the 5th grade and move on to the middle school it is our hope that they will understand that this award was established with my family’s profound gratitude and love and that they will wear their Celtic Cross with pride, continuing the legacy of those who have done so before them. They will continue to embody the friendship Jesus has with us and build that friendship along with their classmates.
