Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace of Easter Sunday, every day. Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice. Let us have eyes that look upon Your grace and rejoice in our salvation. Help us to walk in that mighty grace and tell Your good news to the world.

Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week

April 17th - 21st is Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness week in Wisconsin and tomorrow on April 20th, there will be statewide tornado drills at 1:45 PM and 6:45 PM. Here at XMS, we will be participating in the tornado drill at 1:45. Our goal is to remind/teach our students about what to do in the event of a tornado warning while the students are at XMS. We encourage families to have a similar conversation about what to do at home or other places in the event of a tornado warning. Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions.

Talent Show

The Spring Talent Show will take place on Thursday, May 25th. Information sheets and a signup list are available outside the choir room.

Yes, May 25th is over a month away, but all participants must be ready to perform their stage-ready act at the auditions on May 8th, 9th, and 10th. Get involved! Join the fun! Groups, partners, and individuals are all invited to share your God-given talent!

2022-2023 Yearbook

It’s yearbook time! Order forms for the 2022-2023 yearbook will be sent home today and are due Wednesday, May 3rd. Yearbooks will be $20.00 if you turn your form in by May 3rd. After May 3rd, the price is $25.00. Click here for the order form.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up May 2nd - 5th. The XMS Home and School Committee has some great things planned, but we need your help. Please consider helping us in one of these three ways:

Donate any $10 gift card. Gift cards can be brought to the middle school office any time before April 28th.
Donate a used medium-sized flower vase. We will be putting bows on them, and the students will fill them with flowers for the teachers. Please be aware that you will not get the vase back. Flower vases can also be brought to the office.
Contribute food items, or some of your time by signing up through this Sign-Up Genius.

Thank you for your help in celebrating our wonderful staff at XMS!

From the Scrip Office

Kohl's is ending their policy of letting you pay your credit card bills with Scrip gift cards. The 4% cards are currently not available to order, so if you already have some of these, you will be able to use them for credit card payments until June 26th. I do have a very limited amount of 5% cards in stock. Once those are gone, the new cards will not be able to be used for paying your bill. Unfortunately we were not forewarned so I could not stock up.
