Outstanding volunteer Mary Braband

Holy Cross Catholic School Awards Outstanding Volunteer

Each year, schools in the GRACE System select a very special volunteer from their community to receive the outstanding volunteer award. This award was presented at the back-to-school mass. Holy Cross Catholic School is pleased to recognize Mary Braband for the award this year.

Mrs. Braband is a dedicated servant of the Catholic Faith and inspires the community to become more like Jesus himself as she demonstrates her faith and generosity at every turn. Mrs. Braband volunteers her time and talent as a Middle School Math Tutor and she has also volunteered to sub in our Aftercare Program.

Mrs. Braband is not one to submit to challenges, however. This year, she even hopped on virtually to tutor students while she was quarantining prior to surgery and again while she and her husband were traveling. Mrs. Braband truly loves spending time with students and she successfully builds relationships with them all while teaching them how to understand concepts so that they understand them.

Students and staff are all stronger because of her commitment and we are forever grateful for her generous support. Thank you, Mrs. Braband!
