Dear SFX Families,
I am continually impressed with the dedication, organization, and sense of community that is unique to St. Francis Xavier School. So it is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement, effective at the end of the academic year.
Meeting and guiding new families through enrollment, capturing photo and video memories of your kind children, and promoting all that this wonderful school has to offer on social media and in the parent newsletter has been a true joy for me! I will truly miss my colleagues and all of our incredible Falcon Families. I am excited to spend more time enjoying my family and growing grandchildren in between travel with friends.
I wish nothing but the best to this amazing parish and school. If you know of a person who may be interested in applying for this position, (newly renamed Marketing & Enrollment Director), please contact Mrs. Sharon Garcia. The future at St. Francis Xavier is SO exciting... I will be cheering you on from the sidelines!
“1…2…3… smile & say Falcons!”
Mrs. Mary Tassi

Hello Falcon Faithful! I know, it's been a long time, but we're back to school and back to athletics in a big way this week.
We already had a very successful Track & Field "Meet 0" this past Saturday! According to coach Kanzer it was a good "rust buster", the athletes got to compete in a lot of events in perfect weather, and some ribbons were won by our Falcon Athletes!
Our next next meet is this Saturday in Batavia. In addition to the T&F Meet, we've got boys Volleyball this week Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in the Gym. We'll be cooking up Nachos all week long so we hope to see you there!
Clear your calendars for the schedule below....it's a lot of places to pack!
Go Falcons!!!
Pat Mc Mahon, AD
