Each year the Home and School Association (HSA) plans and hosts a fun-filled community building event which also includes an important fundraising component.  The 2021 Color Run is a joint campus event that all elementary families are encouraged to attend regardless of an ability to participate in the fundraising element.  The Color Run fundraiser directly benefits the kids!  This year the monies raised will be used to help improve the playground equipment at both elementary school campuses.  These playground improvements will enhance the children’s overall school experience by increasing their excitement and joy during free play. Join us Sept. 23 from 5-7 at Xavier Middle School.

Celebrate Volunteer Meeting: 
Thursday, September 16th at noon in the XHS Library

Celebrate is the largest, single event fundraiser for Xavier Catholic Schools. All parents/guardians are invited (and encouraged) to volunteer as this event is a system-wide effort benefiting the entire school system. It is also a great way to get to know parents from other campuses. The evening typically features a dinner, live and silent auctions, raffles and games, entertainment, etc. Last year it was a successful virtual event that raised over $560,000. This year we are planning a hybrid experience. 
Celebrate meetings are held once a month. This year’s kickoff meeting will be held on Thursday, September 16 at noon at in the library Xavier High School (we will have people there giving directions to the library). At that meeting we will discuss the optimal meeting dates and times moving forward. 
Please plan to join us to brainstorm and have some fun while we come together, catch up, and meet new friends. It takes many helping hands to make Celebrate a successful event and we really need great volunteers who want to have fun while getting things done. The meetings are also a great way to provide input and suggest any ideas you have. Children not in school yet are always welcome. 
Bonus: there is always chocolate!
