#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that takes place November 30 this year — following Black Friday and Cyber Monday! What better way to start getting into the holiday giving-back spirit? We’d love it if you participated with us. The best way to do that is to share our cause on social media using the hashtag(s) #GivingTuesday #WeAreXavier and to join millions of global givers on November 30 by donating at xaviersaints.org/givenow. 

Many companies are offering a special match tomorrow to mark #GivingTuesday. For instance, Raytheon Collins Aerospace is offering a ‘2 for 1’ match on November 30, a one-day only special match day. Check with your HR department for further match information for your place of employment.

#GivingTuesday is the year’s most heart-warming donation celebration. We ask that you consider Xavier Foundation on this special day - xaviersaints.org/givenow. 

Requests for schedule changes for Semester 2 schedules will take place December 6th-9th in the Student Services office. Staff will be available to help before school, after school, and during Xcel.

This Fall Xavier Booster Club has raised over $23,000 in concessions due to the tremendous support of XBC Concessions Chairs Kim Loffswold, Justine Kadlec and parents from Band, Boy's Tennis, Volleyball, Girl's CC, and Wrestling! All of the profits from concessions is allocated directly to the 40+ activities that Xavier Booster Club supports. 

Help in concessions is still needed for December. Activities that will volunteer for concessions include: Football, Boys Cross Country, Girls Track, Boys Track, Boys Golf, Drama, and Volleyball. If your student participates in these activities please review the sign up for volunteer spots. All parents and volunteers are welcome regardless of activity to volunteer. Many hands make light work.
