Dear Xavier Parents of Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors,
This note comes to ask for your support. This week marks the beginning of activities and recognition for our seniors. The Class of 2023 has been an outstanding one. They have grown in their faith and have served our school, our community and our world. They have been mentors, tutors and leaders for our underclassmen.
Tuesday we will honor our seniors at our annual Honors Assembly. It is the last time our entire school, including the Class of 2023, will be together. It is our chance to say “Thank you” and “Congrats on a job well done!” to our seniors.
Unfortunately, some of our underclassmen seem to think this Assembly is not something they should have to attend. So they ask you, their parents, to call in for them to release them just prior to the start of the assembly. In my address to our students, I ask them to rise above a “me” approach and be respectful enough of our seniors to attend and show support for what the Class of 2023 has meant to Xavier High School.
I am asking you to support us in this message to our underclassmen that as a community we should all take part in recognizing and congratulating those who have accomplished so much and represented us so well during their time at Xavier. Please share with your student that you expect that they will take part in this special tradition.
Thank you for supporting our efforts to build a sense of community among our “Saints!”
Sincerely,
Angela Olson, Principal
