Thanksgiving Meal Reservations
Join Us! We are so excited to invite our families to join us for a home cooked Thanksgiving Meal on Friday, November 18th.
Due to the increase student body size, we are limiting the number of guests each family is able to bring and we will eat in two shifts that day. Please complete the form by Monday, November 7th
Additional Activities during the Meal Include:
- Shop our pop-up spirit wear shop
- Grab a tag off of our Giving Tree, to purchase a toy for a child in need this Christmas
Vision Screening
The Lions Club will be onsite November 9th to conduct a free vision screening for all students in 4K-2nd grade.
If you'd like to opt your child out of this free screening, please contact the school office.
Go Saints!
Girls Volleyball Tournament Brackets are now available!
Good luck to our 5/6th grade and 7/8th grade teams!
Tournament brackets can be found on our school event calendar below or the MAISL Website.
Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Each of our home room classes took pumpkins that were grown in our very own Saint Francis Xavier pumpkin patch and decorated them for our annual contest. Their creativity blew us away! Congrats to our 1st grade class for winning the top prize! Special thanks to Ms. Hillebrand and Mr. Meinholz for taking care of our pumpkin patch over the summer months.
Coin Collection Next Week
next week, our NJHS students will be helping our 1st grade class with their money unit. Students are invited to bring in loose change, which will be collected and counted daily by our first graders. NJHS will help in promoting the project and will donate the money collected to the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign. See the flyer in your child's Thursday Update for additional details!
