Updated: Women's Conference Registration
Xavier's Women's Conference will be held February 9 (9th and 10 graders) and February 10 (11th and 12th graders) at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish Center. The theme for the day is "Own It".  We will have a guest speaker, Jenny Chadima, joining us as our keynote speaker!  The retreat will run from 8:45 am - 2:30 pm, so students will miss a day of school (and will be responsible for making up any work that you miss).  
 
The cost is $20, and includes lunch and a t-shirt.  Lunch is being provided by Jersey Mike's!  If your student would like to participate they need to fill out the registration form that was recently sent to their Xavier email, then you will need to pay the $20 at xavierhs.8to18.com. Registration will not be complete until that payment has been made.  
 
DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS JANUARY 17TH AT 3PM -- no exceptions will be made after this date for spacing purposes.
 
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Hamilton in Student Services, Mrs. Richmond in Campus Ministry, or Mrs. Callanan in the LMC.
