Plans Unveiled—Celebrate 2021 will be a fun, interactive, virtual event!!
-
While many things have changed in 2020, the commitment and dedication of our staff and students hasn’t. We are unbelievably proud and grateful that our students can be learning in person. It is essential that we raise funds in order to continue the excellence of Xavier Catholic Schools. That need has prompted the decision to hold Celebrate on its original date of January 30, 2021, but in an interactive, virtual format. This won’t be a typical virtual event; we have an interactive evening planned and encourage small groups to safely gather for watch parties.

Sponsors are always a pillar of our fundraising success. We have exciting plans to acknowledge our sponsors this year. Please consider supporting Celebrate in this way.
We still plan to have our traditional online silent auction and will also have a premium auction that will be online this year. Donations are needed and we hope you’ll consider donating!

Parents - new Translation Resource
We at Xavier are proud of our multicultural community! - and we want all our parents to be connected. We can offer communication help for speakers of many languages through a free translation app called “Class Tag.” [Plans were to use "Talking Points," but we will use "Class Tag" instead since it is already to be used at school.] Using this app, school can send text messages that will be translated to your home language, or you can write texts in your home language that will be translated to English. If you are interested, please email Mrs. Brege with your student's name(s) and your preferred cell phone number, at mbrege@xaviercatholicschools.org. Thanks!

November Lunch Menu - click here
Thanks to a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System and Chartwells are now able to offer a free lunch for all students within the Xavier System through the end of the 2020-2021 school year. This means that a free, school-provided lunch is available for all students.
|
|
Meals will include an entree with assorted fruits and vegetables, along with a choice of 1% chocolate or 1% white milk. A la carte (chips, water, extra entrée, cookies, etc), including any milk purchased outside of the full meal, will cost extra and is NOT included with the free lunch.
Lunch account payments should still be made as A la Carte purchases do not qualify for the Free Lunch.
We also encourage parents to pay off negative balances at this time. .

Little Hawks- XYBA Basketball Program
Kindergartners through 2nd graders: Do you like basketball? You have never played and want to try? Sign up for the Xavier Youth Basketball Association's "Little Hawks" program. "Little Hawks" is an introductory fun practice opportunity for kids to learn the skills of the game of basketball, and prepare for further participation in the 3rd through 8th grade XYBA program. Registration is slated to happen later this calendar year, with the hope that practices may begin after Jan. 1 2021. These dates are later than previous years, as our board is working to secure practice space and times, and plan precautions and protocol for the safety of all participants. More information will be provided as soon as it is available. We hope you consider having your child join us! Go Hawks hoops!
