The LORD is my shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.
In green pastures he makes me lie down;
to still waters he leads me;
he restores my soul.
He guides me along right paths
for the sake of his name.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff comfort me.
~ Psalm 23

Spelling Bee
Congratulations to the winners our school spelling bee last week! It was a hard-fought spelling battle between the top four spellers--5th grader Zipporah Ehrlich, and 7th graders Jianna Bautista, Madelyn Beyer, and Genee Bautista. Genee came out on top by correctly spelling "farfel", a type of pasta. Madelyn took 2nd place and Jianna took 3rd.
Genee, Madelyn, and Jianna will compete tomorrow in the Virtual Regional Spelling Bee! Students from across the Fox Valley region will show up to spell against 3 of the best spellers from Xavier Middle School! Good luck!

Xavier supporters definitely “Lit the Way” for Xavier students and staff this past Saturday night! We are beyond grateful for everyone’s generous support of Xavier Catholic Schools via our Celebrate fundraiser.
Xavier supporters came together in person and virtually to provide tremendous financial support for our school system, its students, and staff. It was so wonderful to have everyone together. Plus, we met our Fund Our Future goal! Our goal was to raise $150,000 in donations in order to unlock matching funds. We are pleased to announce that with donations from in the room and online, we raised $197,400 and with the matching funds, that total is $347,400!
We’ve had some requests to share the list of staff “causes” that weren’t satisfied that night. If you would still like to support specific staff requests, go to https://Celebrate2022.givesmart.com to see what items are still available from “Cookies for a Cause”—this is a list of specific staff “wants” that donors can satisfy. It is a great way to support a specific teacher or area of interest. “Cookies for a Cause” and general donations may be made through the website through February 15, 2022.
Our genuine thanks to everyone involved, from sponsors to donors to our incredible volunteers, from those who purchased raffle tickets to those who attended or tuned in—and everyone in between. We will share the total amount raised as soon as it is available.
