This Week

Year-End Giving

We extend our heart-felt thanks to all those who made year-end gifts to St. Pius X. The mail was held over the holiday break, and once it is received it will take several days to process. If you made a gift during the break, you may expect a letter from us within a week. Thank you for your generosity, and your patience.

Calling all Senior Parents!

This year the Lions and Legacies Gala will be kicking off the celebration of the 60th-Anniversary of St. Pius X.

To start the fun, each class will have a pre-gala Class Party.

These parties are designed to encourage the St. Pius X spirit of fellowship and to provide the opportunity to work together to give to our school. If we each give a little, together we can make a big impact!

The Senior Party is right around the corner! All Class of 2018 parents are invited on January 13 to the home of Patrick and Christine McMullan for the Senior Gala Party!

Please find all details and RSVP here.

Reminders

Green Club Collecting Mascara Wands
The Green Club will be holding an on-going collection drive for mascara wands in order to support the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge Wands For Life campaign. Please send in any old mascara wands to SPX (either Front Office or Science Office) and we'll be sure they get delivered to the Wildlife Refuge. If you can, please wash the wands in soapy water to remove residual mascara. If you don't have time to wash the wands though, don't let that discourage a donation; we'll be happy to wash them for you!
