The SFX cross country teams were split into 2 venues this past weekend. The SFX State Qualifying cross country team competed in the IESA State meet IA division in Normal, IL. The Girls State Team finished as Runner Up State Champions and the Boys finished 5th out of 24 teams, missing a podium finish by 25 points!

Daniel Lewis (9th), Audrey McCarty (22nd), and Drew Hyland (22nd) finished individually in the top 25 and had podium finishes. It was a successful weekend! At the CYO invitational meet this past weekend, the JV girls took 1st place, and the JV boys took 2nd out of 17 teams competing!  Well done Falcon Cross Country! We are so proud of you all!

Re-registration for the 2022-2023 school year will once again be an online form for students currently in grades PS3 – 7th. The online form will be emailed to families through Family Communications Monday, November 2 and a link will be posted on the school website at sfxlg.org. Please complete and submit 1 form for each of your students currently in grades PS3-7th no later than Friday, November 19th. A $75 per student nonrefundable re-registration fee will be charged to all families’ FACTS accounts in the first two weeks of February. If you reply “no” or “uncertain” on your student’s re-registration form you will not be assessed the re-registration fee nor will a seat be reserved for your student in the 2022-2023 grade level count.

If you are a current school family and have a child ready to enter Saint Francis Xavier for the first time next year, please request a New Student Enrollment Form by completing the appropriate questions on the online re-registration form. New student hard copy enrollment forms will be sent home beginning Monday, November 9th and we ask that they be returned with original birth and baptismal certificates by Friday, November 19th. Original certificates will be returned to parents. All re-registration questions and questions regarding new students of current families should be directed to Mrs. Evans at pevans@sfxlg.org.

Race Day: Saturday, November 6, 2021

Some volunteer spots are before race day and some are on race day. Many do not require a big time commitment and some can still enjoy running the race.

Virtual Parent/Teacher Conferences

With your help and generosity, we filled two SUV’s with toys and gift cards that were donated to the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. The Treasure Chest redistributes the toys by filling toy boxes at area hospitals for oncology patients. The delicious baked goods provided by students and the Girl Scouts and other cash donations from many parishioners totaled over $2000! Once again, the amazing kindness and care of our parish will bring smiles to hundreds of young children and their families.

Thank you so much to each volunteer, the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, the Catholic Women’s Club Board and especially to Cathy Murphy for organizing the movie night. We appreciated the wonderful turnout. It was beautiful to see so many safely gathering. Whether it was your first year attending or you haven’t missed a toy drive since 2007, THANK YOU! To all who couldn’t be there and either donated toys or a monetary gift or kept us close in their hearts and prayers, THANK YOU!

To witness the St. Francis Xavier Parish community united for this cause has once again filled our hearts with gratitude. We appreciate all of the love and support for so many years.

Sincerely,

Laura and Brent Duelm
