8th Grade Class Retreat
Our 8th graders spent a day this week on retreat at Camp Gray. They engaged in several teambuilding activities and leadership exercises. It was a great way to kick off their 8th grade year, as they worked together to determine what they wanted their last year here at Saint Francis Xavier to look like, how they would demonstrate leadership and treat each other.
Koats For Kids Drive
Our National Junior Honor Society Students will be collecting gently used winter coats for kids and adults through October 6th. The class that brings in the most coat donations will win fun prizes!
UPCOMING EVENTS
Pet Blessing
Fr. Scott would like to invite all of our school families to participate in a pet blessing on Tuesday, October 4th -
St. Francis of Assisi's Feast Day.
To participate in the pet blessing:
Parents to arrive by 2:15pm on Tuesday, October 4th with pet leashed or in a carrier.
Park in the church parking lot and walk down to the valley (grassy area near the baseball diamond).
Notify the school office if your child will go home with you after the blessing (students with prior notification will bring their belongings outside with them).
Halloween Parties
Students will be invited to wear their Halloween costumes to school on Wednesday, October 26th. Classroom parties and other festivities will also take place on that day. Homeroom teachers will share more information as it is available.
Costume Reminders:
When helping to choose your child's costume this year, please ensure that the costume choice is something worthy of emulation. For examples: super heroes, first responders, athletes, animals, and classic movie/cartoon characters make great costumes. Costumes that are too dark/scary, political in nature or include weapons of any kind are not allowed at school.
