The 12th day of Christmas
Shout for joy the whole earth, and everything within. Rejoice! For Light has come into the world! The mountains sing, the seas resound to the praise of your name. Salvation once promised is here on earth! The angels’ song rings in the air, a child has been born. Hallelujah! The Savior of the world is here and he is coming again to complete his work of redemption!

Hello, Xavier Families,
I want to take this opportunity to say I am excited to work with you in my new role as principal of Xavier Middle School. As many of you know, I have served as associate principal of XMS for four and a half years. The staff and students are so wonderful and I look forward to working with them in this new position. Please contact me if you ever have questions or concerns. I am always open to ways we can continue to make Xavier Middle School a great learning environment for our students.
Many blessings in 2022,
Sara Meyer

Welcome to our Guest Teachers
We are fortunate to have two guest art teachers joining us at Xavier Middle School.
First, Mrs. Jochman, our 5th-grade art teacher is continuing to heal and we are keeping her in our prayers. For the first semester, we were blessed to have Shari Sato fill that position. Due to prior commitments, Shari is unable to teach the second semester, so we welcome Maria Anholzer. Maria is very excited to work with our 5th graders!
Secondly, Anne Baruth is taking a leave of absence and we welcome Gosia Fuehrer to XMS. Gosia is the mother of 7th grader Tessa, and she looks forward to working with the 6th-8th grade students.
Please welcome these two wonderful teachers!

From the Scrip Office:
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. The Scrip office was very busy during the Christmas rush!
We do have some scrip cards that were ordered by mistake. Unfortunately, these cards are not local to our area. I am hoping someone may either travel to the areas where they are used, or maybe have relatives there that could use them.
We have 11 - $10 gift cards that can be used at the following stores:
Tom Thumb
Albertsons
Safeway
Jewel Osco
Haggens
Vons
Shaws
Carrs
Star
Pavilions
Acme
Randalls
