Xavier High School
Weekly Bulletin - 5/7/20

Teacher Appreciation Week
We are proud to celebrate the teachers of Xavier High School this week. Since we are not all together, most of the traditional ways of honoring them are not possible at this time. In the spirit of gratitude, we are asking parents and students to take a few moments to drop an e-mail or card to teachers who have made a difference to your student this year. It would be a meaningful gesture to a group of dedicated professionals who have found a way to make the best of this learning environment. Thanks in advance for taking a moment to thank our teachers!

Host an International Student!
Need some extra income? Looking for a way to serve the Xavier community while broadening the experiences of your own children? How about hosting an international student? We have many students from several European and Asian countries seeking families to host them in the fall. A significant tuition discount and a monthly stipend are provided. Want to know more? Contact Sarah Shimek , International Student coordinator. Thanks for your generosity!

Check out the new Xavier Business Directory
A few weeks ago we started the Xavier Business Directory in an attempt to highlight all of the business connections within our Xavier family. It is especially important to support small and family-owned businesses right now. Please be sure to check the directory first when you need a good or service to see if there is a Xavier-affiliated business you can support.  
If you have a business that you would like to add to the directory, click the link above to go to the directory to check it out and to complete the form to be included.  
Questions? Please email Lisa at lpfaff@xaviercatholicschools.org

We will be sending out a daily morning prayer to students, including prayer intentions throughout the weeks when we are closed.
