Dear Families,
The St. Pius X / St. Leo School faculty and staff hope that you and your family are all having a blessed Advent season. We pray that all of our families have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year surrounded by loved ones. It is such a blessing to be a part of this community and it is something that I know we all do not take for granted. We are so appreciative of your support as we continue our mission to have a school that celebrates our “diverse community forming students in the Catholic faith to excel in academics and service to others.” We thank all of our families for giving us one of the most important gifts of all - the gift of being able to be partners in your child’s educational and spiritual growth. We are so grateful for all of your support and trust in educating your children. Thank you also for your continued prayers in our work to live out our school community’s mission and please know that our school staff continues to keep all of you in our prayers as well. God is definitely good, all the time.
It is an honor and a privilege to be the principal of the best collection of faculty, staff, students and community members ever.
Cory Sepich, Principal

FUNDRAISER THANKS
On behalf of the St. Pius X / St. Leo School Board, I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to the chairpersons of the 2018 Fundraiser: Laura O’Doherty, Denise Schumacher and Lora Hansen. This year's event - Community of One - was a great success! Laura, Denise and Lora’s enthusiasm and love for our school was contagious. The fundraiser was so much fun and truly showed what an amazing community we have here at SPSL supporting our children.
Also, a special thanks to all the volunteers, staff, teachers, administrators, and clergy who generously offered their time and financial support for this important event. We are all blessed to have such a great community supporting our wonderful school.

THANK YOU
The 3rd grade students recently collected items for the St. John Bosco Orphanage in South America. The dress down day on December 11 helped pay the postage for six boxes to be sent there. It never ceases to amaze me what this community is capable of and I thank you for your support of this project. Merry Christmas!
-Anita Petersen, 3rd grade teacher
