Tyler's Toy Drive was a great afternoon! They collected carloads of toys and the Girl Scouts raised over $600 in donations from their bake sale. Amazing! In addition to the Girls Scouts, the entire SFX Catholic Women's Club board couldn't have been more impressed with the student volunteers - they ran the face painting craft station, candy guessing table, and candy walk. They were genuinely enthusiastic about helping out and also wanted to make sure all of the little kids had as much fun as possible.

4TH GRADERS HELP FIGHT HUNGER!!
The 4th graders are having their "7 Cents a Day" collection
again this year and we need your help!
Did you know that for just 7 CENTS A DAY from every American, hunger could be cut in half in the United States and worldwide?
We are asking each student to give 7 cents a day, or about 50 cents a week, which is equal to the price of just one candy bar. Our 7 Cents a Day collection will run from Monday, September 24th through Friday, October 5th. There will be collection jars in every classroom.
By contributing to our collection you will be doing your part in helping to reduce hunger in our own neighborhood. All contributions will be donated to the St. Francis Xavier Food Pantry, which currently helps feed more than 275 people each week. Please take this opportunity to discuss hunger with your children and encourage them to participate in our "7 Cents a Day" collection. Thank you for helping us fight hunger in our own community! Your SFX 4th Grade Service Team.
